AI assistant for photographers: shoot requests, weddings and corporate photos without back-and-forth
Between two shoots, questions about availability, locations and packages come in. Slimbot collects the basic details of each request, schedules introductory meetings in your diary and keeps the conversations per client, so you don't have to search for them across three apps.
Hello, we're looking for a photographer for our wedding on 14 June in Utrecht.
Assistant's draft
Congratulations! What time does the day start and where is the ceremony taking place? Then the photographer will check whether 14 June is still available.

In practice
What comes in for photographers — and what Slimbot does
"Are you available on 14 June for our wedding?"
The assistant asks for location and schedule and shows you the request; you confirm the date and send the quote.
"What does a photoshoot with the whole family cost?"
Your own package description is shared; if a price enquiry falls outside your packages, the conversation is forwarded to you.
"We need new portraits for our team."
Number of people, location and purpose are requested; an introduction is added to the diary.
"Can the photos also be in black and white?"
Answer from your own information about processing and delivery, or the conversation waits for you.
"May I use the photos for my website?"
You decide about rights and usage yourself; the assistant refers to your terms and conditions and prepares the question for you.

Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Fully enquire about shoot request
Date, location, type of assignment, number of people and purpose of use: the assistant asks for it before you respond yourself.
Introduction and shoot day in the calendar
With your connected calendar, the assistant offers available slots, so a date doesn't take three messages.
One card per client
Request, appointments, preferences and conversations of a couple or company are together, even if they came in via Instagram or e-mail.
Reminders from your own number
A message for the shoot day with time, location and what to bring, so your client doesn't arrive late or unprepared.
Send link to the gallery
Upon delivery, you send the link to your own gallery or download page, followed by a request for a review.
