AI assistant for pedicures: appointments and practice questions in one inbox

Clients text to make an appointment, ask how long it takes or what's covered. Slimbot puts those conversations in one inbox, schedules appointments via your calendar and passes questions about complaints and reimbursement to your team.

  • Appointments with the correct duration
  • Reminders from your number
  • Medical questions to your team

Hello, I'd like to make an appointment for my parents, they both have problems with calluses and thick nails.

Assistant's draft

Good afternoon! Great that you're getting in touch. Have they been to us before? Then I'll schedule a short appointment, otherwise the first appointment is a bit longer.

Sound familiar?

Less back-and-forth messaging, fewer no-shows.

Without Slimbot

  • Message back and forth about appointments until a time suits
  • No-shows because nobody sends a reminder
  • Calendar, messages and customer data in three places

With Slimbot

  • Customers request an appointment via chat, WhatsApp or your site
  • Confirmation and reminder from your own number
  • Appointment, conversation and customer card in one overview
In practice

What comes in at chiropodists and podiatrists — and what Slimbot does

  1. "Can I still come by tomorrow?"

    The assistant checks your calendar and suggests available slots; you decide whether to send the draft or let the AI answer itself.

  2. "How long does a treatment take?"

    Answer from your own treatment overview, including the longer first appointment.

  3. "Is this reimbursed by my insurance?"

    No commitment from the AI: the question goes to your team with policy details if the client mentions them.

  4. "My toe is red and hurts."

    No advice or diagnosis. The assistant schedules an appointment if needed and adds the complaint to the client card for the practitioner.

  5. "I can't make it, can it be a day later?"

    Proposal for a new time from your diary, for approval or automatic, as you set it up.

AssistantGood afternoon! Thank you for getting in touch. Have they been to us before? If so, I'll schedule a short appointment; otherwise the first appointment is a bit longer.

CustomerNo, never before. Can one be after four, both back-to-back?

AssistantThat's possible: Thursday 16.00 and 16.45 are still available. Shall I book one for you?

How it works

Get started in three steps

From sign-up to working channel. You keep your own number.

1

Connect calendar and number

Your practice calendar and your business WhatsApp number.

2

Record treatments and duration

What you offer, how long it takes and what a client brings.

3

Decide what goes to the team

Such as complaints and reimbursement questions.

Features

What you get

Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.

Appointments with the correct duration

A first intake takes longer than a follow-up appointment. The assistant asks for the type of treatment and suggests available slots from your calendar.

Reminders from your number

A reminder in advance, with what the client needs to bring. Rescheduling is possible with a short reply.

Medical questions to your team

The AI does not answer questions about symptoms, wounds or reimbursement substantively. They go to the practitioner with your client and the context.

Client card per person

Previous appointments, notes about what was discussed and the conversations are kept together.

Follow-up appointment and review

A friendly suggestion for a next appointment, and after treatment a request for a review.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI answer medical questions?
No. Questions about complaints, wounds or what you should best do go to the practitioner. The assistant schedules an appointment and prepares the question for your team.
Can the AI say what the insurer reimburses?
No, that depends on the client's policy. The assistant does not make commitments and forwards the question to your team.
What about different treatment durations?
You set the duration per treatment, for example a longer first appointment. The assistant takes this into account when suggesting times.
Does it work in a practice with multiple practitioners?
Yes. Everyone works in the same inbox and you assign conversations to the right practitioner.
Can I also schedule home visits?
You can keep the address and travel time in the conversation and on the customer card. Slimbot does not navigate a route for you; the planning stays in your calendar.
What does it cost?
Creating an account is free, without a credit card. The current monthly amounts are on the pricing page.
