Short answerIf you answer fast and get few messages, you're the best receptionist. If messages arrive while you work, in the evening and on weekends, an AI receptionist can answer the repeated questions first and leave you only the booking requests.

FAQ
Does it reply directly inside Instagram DMs?
Not yet. The customer taps your link (bio, auto-reply, status) and chats on the receptionist page.
Can I read the conversations?
In Pro, on your own panel.
What if it says something wrong?
It only knows what you told it and never invents prices. You can add details any time.
