AI assistant for driving schools: trial lessons, lesson planning and pupil questions via WhatsApp
Students text outside lesson time: can I reschedule, when is my next lesson, what does a package cost? Slimbot answers the standard questions from your own information, schedules lessons in your diary and prepares the reminder for you.
Hi, I'm 17 and would like to start driving lessons. Can I do a trial lesson first?
Assistant's draft
Hi! Great that you want to start. Do you already have a valid theory certificate? And which day suits you for a trial lesson, weekday or Saturday?

In practice
What comes in at driving schools — and what Slimbot does
"I want to start driving lessons. What does a package cost?"
Answer from your own price list and the offer of a trial lesson, with a request for start date.
"My instructor is ill, will the lesson go ahead?"
You pass on the change; the assistant prepares a message with alternative times.
"Can I reschedule my lesson for tomorrow?"
Offer new times from the calendar; the old time becomes available.
"When is my practical exam and what should I bring?"
Your own checklist as a fixed template, with the student's details in it.
"I've passed my theory!"
Personal reply from you, with a proposal for the first lesson and a review request afterwards.

From €14.95 per month
Excl. VAT, from the live price list. Start with a free account; a subscription only begins when you accept it.
You or the assistant schedule lessons in your own calendar; you choose whether you confirm each appointment yourself first. An exam request with the CBR remains your own action.
Can the assistant say how many lessons a learner needs?
No, that's an assessment by the instructor. The assistant refers to the trial lesson and lets you take over the conversation.
What if learners cancel last-minute?
They reply in the reminder message, you see it immediately in the inbox and can offer the freed-up hour to someone else yourself.
Does it work with multiple instructors?
Yes. Each instructor has their own diary; you assign conversations in the shared inbox.
Can I have lesson packages paid via WhatsApp?
You can send a payment link in the conversation, for example for a package or a single lesson.
What does it cost?
The current monthly amounts are on the pricing page; creating an account is free.
