AI assistant for furniture shops: size questions and showroom appointments in one inbox
Customers send a photo of their living room via WhatsApp, ask about dimensions, fabrics and delivery dates, and would like to pop in. Slimbot bundles WhatsApp, e-mail and chat in one team inbox, with photos and previous conversations for each customer on one card.
Good afternoon, I'm looking for a corner sofa for a room of 4 by 5 metres. What would you recommend?
Assistant's draft
Good afternoon! Great that you're getting in touch. Can you send a photo of the room and tell us where the sofa should go?

In practice
What comes into a furniture shop — and what Slimbot does
"Will this corner sofa fit in my living room? Here's a photo."
The photo and measurements are added to the customer card; the assistant asks for the missing measurements, a colleague assesses.
"Can I get the fabric in a different colour as well?"
Answer from your own knowledge base or a draft for you; no colour or delivery time is invented.
"May I come by on Saturday to try out the sofa?"
Proposal for a showroom appointment in your diary, with a reminder beforehand.
"When will my order be delivered?"
Draft with the status you have filled in yourself; you or a colleague confirm the delivery date.
"There's a scratch on the cupboard, can you fix that?"
The assistant asks for photos and order number and assigns the conversation to a colleague, before anything is promised.

CustomerGood afternoon, I'm looking for a corner sofa for a room of 4 by 5 metres. What do you recommend?
AssistantGood afternoon! Great that you're getting in touch. Could you send a photo of the room and tell us where the sofa should go?
CustomerHere's a photo. It needs to go against the long wall, next to the window.
AssistantThank you. A colleague will review and suggest an appointment in the showroom, so you can try out the models. Does a weekday afternoon suit?

How it works
Get started in three steps
From sign-up to working channel. You keep your own number.
1
Connect your channels
Business WhatsApp number, e-mail address and the chat on your website or webshop.
2
Fill in your range and working method
Brands, bespoke, delivery method and showroom times: the assistant only uses what you fill in.
3
Choose how the assistant responds
Only drafts for you, or answer independently to the questions you specify.
Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Complete dimension questions
The assistant asks about the room, the width of the door or stairs and the desired model, so you don't have to ask back three times first.
Photos of the living room
A photo of the room or a floor plan is added to the customer card. Colleagues in the shop and at the office see the same images.
Showroom appointments
A customer chooses a time that suits your connected calendar; a reminder is sent from your own number.
Delivery questions without promises
The assistant prepares a draft based on what you enter yourself. You only confirm a delivery date once you've approved it yourself.
Reviews after delivery
A brief request for a review, sent when the furniture has been placed.
