AI & Automation/Chatbots

Chat that books.
Chat that qualifies.
Chat that knows when to fetch a human.

A chatbot trained on your business -- your FAQs, your pricing, your products -- that books appointments, takes deposits, qualifies leads, and hands off to your team the moment the conversation gets serious.

Six things our chatbots do

Six capabilities. One chat window.

Trained on your business

Your FAQs, your pricing, your products, your policies. We train the bot on your actual content -- not a generic template.

Books and takes deposits

Direct calendar and payment integration. The customer leaves the conversation with a confirmed booking and a receipt.

Qualifies leads

Three-question qualifier built into the flow. Serious buyers routed to sales; window shoppers sent useful content.

Bilingual

Welsh and English by default. The bot detects language and stays consistent throughout the conversation.

Guard-rails built in

Out-of-scope questions, sensitive topics, and complaints trigger a clean handoff -- the bot never wings it.

Hands off seamlessly

When a conversation needs a human, the bot transfers with full context -- no re-explaining, no frustration.

Real numbers

38k chats. 18% action rate. Under 2 seconds.

Across our chatbot deployments, 18% of conversations result in a booking, enquiry, or qualified lead -- compared to an industry average of 3--5%. The bots run around the clock with zero extra staff cost.

We were getting the same 12 questions on Instagram DMs every day. Now the bot handles all of them, books the boat, takes the deposit, and only sends me a Slack message when someone actually needs me. I saved eight hours a week on day one.

How it actually works

Three parts that make a chatbot useful.

Most chatbots fail because they only handle FAQ-style questions and punt everything else to a contact form. Ours book, qualify, and escalate -- in the same conversation.

02 · Qualify

Separates serious buyers from browsers.

A three-question qualifier built into the natural flow of the conversation routes hot leads to your team and gives cold leads useful content -- without being pushy or robotic.

  • Budget, timeline, and intent captured conversationally
  • Hot leads routed to your CRM with a full summary
  • Cold leads sent to a relevant blog post or lead magnet

03 · Handoff

Clean escalation, every time.

When the conversation needs a person -- complaint, complex enquiry, serious lead -- the bot hands off with the full context. Your team picks up mid-conversation, not from scratch.

  • Trigger-based escalation: topic, sentiment, or keyword
  • Full chat transcript delivered via Slack or email
  • Out-of-hours escalation queued for next morning
