“How much is a colour?” and “any slot now?” arrive when your hands are busy with a client. AQIL answers them on WhatsApp from your salon's information and collects complete booking requests for you.
AQIL is an AI agent that replies to your salon or barbershop's WhatsApp like the person at the front desk. It answers prices, packages and hours from your information, recommends the package that fits, and hands you a complete booking request to confirm, so you can keep working.

Why
The phone rings while your hands are busy
Messages peak when the salon is busiest and your hands are on a client. “How much is a colour?” and “any slot now?” wait an hour, and the client goes to whoever replied first.
Salon software runs the till and calendar inside the shop; AQIL works before that: it answers on WhatsApp and collects the request, and you confirm it in your calendar.
What AQIL does
Replies like the person at the front desk
Prices
From your service list: cuts, colour, protein, skincare, shaves and beard trims. A price that depends on hair length is quoted “from”, as you wrote it.
Recommends a package
Asks a question or two and suggests a package from your list and offers, and says why it fits.
Collects booking requests
Service, day, time and name, sent to you with a summary. You confirm with the client.
States your hours right
Days and hours exactly as written, never adding “daily”. If branches keep different hours, it asks which branch.
Your whole team sees it
Unlimited team users in your dashboard, each with their own permissions.
What reaches you: a request with the service, time and name, which you confirm to the client in the same chat, in your app or dashboard.

FAQ
What's the best booking software for a salon?
If you already have a calendar and a till, you need something that answers WhatsApp and collects the full request before it reaches the calendar. That's AQIL. Without a system, you can confirm bookings in the chat itself.
Does it write the booking into my calendar?
No. It collects the details and passes them to you; you or your staff confirm the booking.
Can it read a photo of a haircut?
Not today: a photo's content doesn't reach it. It understands text, and what it can't answer it passes to you with a summary instead of guessing.
Women's and men's salons, the same tone?
It uses the tone you set in its instructions, which you can read in full and edit yourself, or ask the assistant to change in your own words.
I just want an away message. Can I?
It's free in the WhatsApp Business app (how). AQIL helps when you want someone to actually answer about prices and slots.
What are the message fees?
Your AQIL plan comes from the current prices, and Meta's message fees are separate: the first 1,000 replies per number per month are free (calculator). Beauty clinic? See clinics.
