Books real appointments
Checks your live availability, books the slot, sends the confirmation and a reminder, and handles reschedules.
Most built-in bots just paste a booking link and hope.

Why most business chatbots fail
Chatting isn't the job. Booking is.
Almost every platform now comes with a chatbot. Most of them answer a few questions and stop there: no booking, no follow-up, no human when it matters. Customers notice.

more likely to reach a lead when you respond within 5 minutes instead of 30.
MIT / InsideSales Lead Response study63.5%
of companies never responded to an inbound lead at all.
RevenueHero, 202479%
of customers would rather talk to a human than a chatbot, mostly because bots loop and can't hand off.
SurveyMonkey, via Forbes 202628%
of small businesses still use AI, down from 42%. Many found it too complicated and gave up.
NEXT small-business survey, 2025What your bot can't do (and Ava can)
An AI front desk, not a chat box.
The pieces exist on most platforms. Wiring them together is the hard part, so most owners give up. I wire it, run it and improve it every month.
2
Answers every lead in 60 seconds
Website chat, contact forms, new leads: each gets a personal reply within a minute, day or night.
The average business takes over a day to respond.
3
Follows up until they book
A friendly sequence on day 1, 2, 5 and 9, written in your voice. It stops the moment they book.
Most leads never get a second message.
4
Hands hot leads to you
Ready to buy, upset, or asking something only you can answer? You get a text with the whole conversation.
"I can't reach a human" is the #1 chatbot complaint.
5
Rescues no-shows and old leads
Missed appointments get a reschedule nudge. Leads from the last six months get one "still interested?" note.
That's money you already paid to attract.
6
Gets smarter every month
A human reads the chats, fixes weak answers and adds your new offers. You get a short report.
Built-in bots never improve because nobody reviews them.
The price wall
They charge per chat. Ava doesn't.
The big platforms bill you more every time a customer talks to their bot, and you still set it up yourself. Drag the slider to your busiest month.

And none of them build it for you, book your appointments, follow up until people book, or read your chats every month to make the bot better. Ava's price stays flat no matter how many people she talks to.
Monthly cost to run the bot at 300 conversations (drag to change). Platform prices from public 2026 pricing: Kajabi, Intercom, Tidio, HubSpot. HubSpot also requires a Professional plan, not included here. Prices change; check before you buy.

Proof
35 leads caught while nobody was watching.
I built Ava for my own business first, an online teacher certification. The same twenty questions came in every day. Now Ava answers them at any hour, gets the email, and hands each person to a follow-up that runs by itself.

Questions
The "but what about…" part.
My platform already has a bot (GoHighLevel, Kajabi, Wix). Why would I need you?
Most built-in bots chat, but they're never set up to book, follow up or hand off to you. That setup is the hard part, and it's what I do. If your platform's bot is good, I set up and manage that one so it actually books and follows up. If it's missing or too limited, I bring my own.
Can an AI chatbot really book appointments?
Yes. On Lead Machine and Bot Squad, Ava checks your real availability, books the slot, sends the confirmation and reminder, and stops the follow-up once they're booked.
What if it gets something wrong, or someone wants a human?
It only answers from information you approve. If it doesn't know, or someone is ready to buy or upset, it hands them to you with the full conversation. Every month a human reviews the chats and fixes weak answers.
Will it sound like a robot?
It sounds like you. It's built from your website, posts and FAQs, and you approve its personality before it goes live.
Do I have to get on a sales call?
No. Pick a plan, chat with the intake assistant for about 5 minutes, and approve your bot on test day. A real person is available by email if you ever need one.
Are there message caps or surprise fees?
No per-chat fees and no contract. The price covers the bot, normal AI usage for a small business and monthly upkeep. If your traffic grows far past normal, you'll hear from me before anything changes.
