For barbershops
Keep cutting. We'll get the phone.
BoltAssist is an AI receptionist that answers your shop's calls while your barbers work. It books, moves and cancels appointments with the barber a client asks for, answers questions about prices and hours, and sends confirmations, so fewer calls pull a barber away from a cut.
The 3-day Experience is free: 30 AI minutes, no credit card.
Hear BoltAssist in action
Talk to the AI receptionist of Brackwater Barber Co., a sample barbershop we made up for this demo, right here in your browser. Ask about fades, beard trims and hot towel shaves, ask for a barber by name, or book a cut for you and your son. It isn't set up for your shop, and nothing is really booked.
Try asking
- “How much is a skin fade?”
- “Can I get in with Marcus on Saturday morning?”
- “Can my son and I come in back to back?”
The phone rings in the middle of a fade.
In a barbershop, everyone who could answer has clippers in hand and a client in the chair.
- Picking up means stopping a cut, setting down the clippers and leaving a client waiting.
- Calls after closing and on your days off go to voicemail, and some callers just try another shop instead.
- The same questions about prices, hours and walk-ins take time away from the client in the chair.
- No-shows and late cancellations leave empty chairs you could have filled.

The Experience
Try your own receptionist free for 3 days.
Set it up with your shop's services, hours and policies, then talk to it in your browser: 30 AI minutes in total, no credit card and no phone number needed, with Essential features during the evaluation. It never turns into a paid plan on its own.
The receptionist you configure during your Experience is the same receptionist you keep when you activate your subscription. It doesn't answer your shop's live calls during the Experience. After you activate, connect a new BoltAssist number or forward calls from your existing number to your BoltAssist number through your phone provider. Your existing number stays with your provider, and the same receptionist answers your live calls with your plan's features.
