AI Caller Playbook

Help small shops handle AI agents calling to book appointments

Problem
AI assistants now call salons, dentists and dry cleaners to book on behalf of customers, and about a third of staff stay on the line after realizing it's an AI. The person answering has no rules on what to say, what to refuse, or how to tell a real customer from a robocall.
Solution
A playbook for shop owners and front desks: an on-screen card listing what can be answered (hours, prices, availability) and what must not be promised (holds, discounts, payment info), plus a log-and-callback confirmation flow.
Users
Small local service businesses that take bookings by phone, such as salons, clinics, vets and dry cleaners
MVP
Printable and on-screen rule cards; one-click logging of AI calls (time, request); auto-generated callback confirmation SMS templates; customizable FAQ scripts
Revenue
Low monthly subscription or one-time template pack; affiliate distribution with local POS/booking tools
Why now
AI phone agents just hit real-world scenarios and merchants are unprepared, so the demand is fresh and content-light to build; no complex integrations needed to launch
