Hey everyone! :) I’m a new entrepreneur, after almost 4 years as a software developer, I finally took the leap and started my own tech startup. I’m focusing on AI and automation, and I'm trying to use AI to make businesses more efficient. Right now, I’m offering AI-powered WhatsApp chatbots specializing in appointment bookings in the medical field, but eventually, I plan to create my own products and dive into tech investing. Excited to be here and connect with others! Let me know if you have any questions or want to chat! :)

Saw someone post this video. Might help some people. How good is Claude?!

Hi community! I’m currently developing an automation solution for a barbershop that aims to digitize and automate the management of its appointments through WhatsApp, and I’d appreciate your recommendations. 🔧 Tools I’m using: Botpress, Make, Airtable, Google Calendar 🎯 What are we trying to solve? The barbershop has 4 barbers and needs: - Customers to be able to book, check, modify, and cancel appointments and get answers to FAQs via WhatsApp. - A shared, well-organized calendar. - A waiting list that notifies customers when a time slot becomes available. - Random assignment of a barber when the customer doesn’t choose a specific one. - Automated appointment reminders before their visit. - Automatic confirmation and reconfirmation of appointments (e.g., a message the night before to confirm attendance). - Customer appointment history tracking for future promotions or personalized follow-ups. - Automated reports for the owner: total bookings, cancellations, no-shows, etc. - Real-time availability control in case a barber is absent or leaves early. - Time slot blocking system for holidays, vacations, or unforeseen events. - Automated promotional messages for frequent or inactive customers. ❓ Key questions I need help with: 1️⃣ How can I integrate their current WhatsApp number (the one their customers already use) with these tools without losing that number or their client base? 2️⃣ How can I set up a dynamic waiting list that automatically notifies customers when a time slot becomes available? 3️⃣ What’s the best method to randomly assign a barber when the customer doesn’t request a specific one? 4️⃣ What would be the best way to automate appointment reminders 2 hours before the appointment on WhatsApp? I’m currently considering 0CodeKit, but I’m open to better suggestions. If anyone has worked on something similar or has ideas, workflows, or best practices, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience! 🙌
