AI receptionist for taxi companies: ride requests via WhatsApp and phone in one place
Ride requests come in as app, phone call or form, often simultaneously and often in the middle of a shift. Slimbot puts them in one inbox, asks for address, destination, time and passengers and lets your control room confirm the ride.
Good evening, can I be picked up tomorrow at 6:15 for Schiphol? Two people, two suitcases.
Assistant's draft
Good evening! At which address may we pick you up, and which flight are you taking?

In practice
What comes into taxi companies — and what Slimbot does
"Can you take me to Schiphol tomorrow at 6:00?"
Ask for pick-up address, number of passengers and luggage; the control centre confirms.
"What does a ride from the station to the hospital cost?"
Only a price if you've entered fixed rates; otherwise the question goes to head office.
"I'm at exit B, where is the taxi?"
Immediately visible to the control room in the inbox, so a colleague can call the driver.
"There are 7 of us and lots of suitcases."
The request is flagged for your team, so the control room can schedule a minibus.
"(missed call outside office hours)"
AI phone answering picks up under your number and records the journey for the control room.

Try it yourself
Ask a question as a customer of a taxi company
Choose a question and see how the assistant responds. These are pre-written example answers (not live AI). In your own account, the assistant bases itself on your own data, and you decide whether an answer goes automatically or for approval first.

How it works
Get started in three steps
From sign-up to working channel. You keep your own number.
1
Connect your numbers
WhatsApp for journey requests, and optionally your existing taxi number for AI phone answering.
2
Set your rules
Service area, fixed rates the assistant may quote, and what it must never promise.
3
The control centre stays in charge
Rides are only confirmed by your team; the assistant only prepares.
Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Journey details complete
Pick-up address, destination, date, time, number of passengers and luggage: the assistant asks for it in a few messages.
Phone as a supplement
If the control room is busy, AI phone answering can pick up under your number and place the journey in the same inbox. Optional.
Confirmation by your control centre
A journey is only confirmed once your team approves. The message to the customer is sent from your own number.
Regular customers and addresses
Returning customers, regular collection addresses and previous journeys are on the customer card.
Separate inbox for night-time
You set what the assistant may say outside your service hours; requests remain until the control room picks them up.
