Overview
Built for UAE operations
AI Receptionist connects your WhatsApp Business number to an AI agent that sounds like your front desk. Paste free-form business Details (offerings, hours, prices) and Rules (closures and exceptions always win); optionally generate reviewable FAQs. The agent answers questions and runs a booking flow—offering, date/time, people, contact, confirm—while conflict-checking existing bookings so the same slot is never double-booked. Staff manage knowledge, bookings, customers, and an inbox with human takeover and hand-back to AI, all from one cloud dashboard.
Most UAE service businesses already live on WhatsApp. AI Receptionist turns that number into a 24/7 front desk: customers ask about hours, prices, and availability; the agent answers from your knowledge and can book when offerings are clear—without you training a bespoke bot.
Onboarding is straightforward: sign up at ai-receptionist.avaiyasoftware.com, paste business Details, add Rules for closures, generate FAQs if you want, then connect WhatsApp with Meta Embedded Signup. Staff monitor bookings and chats from one dashboard, and can take over any conversation when a human should reply.
Why teams choose it

Knowledge, not rigid forms
Paste how your business actually works—hours, offerings, prices—then add Rules for closures. The AI answers from that knowledge instead of forcing you into rigid service templates.
Bookings without double-booking
The agent collects offering, time, party size, and contact, then conflict-checks existing bookings before confirming the slot.
