AI chatbot for Irish businesses
The AI chatbot that books your customers.
FrontDesk is an AI chatbot for your website, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. It answers in seconds, recommends the right service, books the real slot and follows up, day and night. Set up and run for you by Denis.
Not a chatbot
Chatbots follow scripts. FrontDesk thinks.
Same message, two very different front desks. One follows a menu. The other understands, recommends and books.
- Book an appointment
- Opening hours
- Prices
- Haircut
- Beard trim
- Haircut and beard
- Book an appointment
- Opening hours
- Prices
Recommends, and upsells when it fits
A photo of a style, a vague question, a budget. It suggests the right service and the add-on a good receptionist would mention, never one you haven't approved.
Remembers your regulars
Last visit, usual slot, favourite stylist. "Want me to grab your usual?" is a message, not a menu.
Takes action, not just messages
Books, reschedules, texts back missed calls, follows up the quiet ones, brings past customers back.
Reads photos, voice notes and PDFs
A voice note at a red light, a photo of a leak, a quote attached as a PDF. It understands and answers in writing.
Looks things up when it needs to
If the answer isn't in its notes, it can check your website or the web before replying, and says "let me check" instead of guessing.
Knows when a person is needed
Complaints, refunds, anything medical: straight to you with the whole conversation. It never decides what it shouldn't.
Every channel
More than a website chatbot.
One AI chatbot that answers wherever your customers message you. Pick a channel to see it work.
Your website, answering at midnight.
Visitors ask, compare and book without leaving the page. FrontDesk answers from your real prices, services and hours, so nobody waits for the morning.
- On one page or every page, in your colours, no third-party branding
- Offers real free slots, not a contact form
- Optional short form first: name, number and privacy consent
Where Irish customers already message.
Many customers would rather send a WhatsApp than fill in a form. FrontDesk replies in seconds, books the job and texts back the calls you miss.
- Understands photos and voice notes
- Missed calls texted back on WhatsApp
- Reminders customers can reply to
Turn DMs and comments into bookings.
Someone loves your post and asks the price. FrontDesk answers the DM straight away, and replies to comments with a private message, so the interest turns into a booking.
- Instagram and Facebook comment-to-DM
- Answers in your tone of voice
- Hands over to you when a person is needed
Also on Messenger, Telegram, SMS, LINE and Viber. One FrontDesk answers on all of them.
You stay in control
Your business. Your rules.
It answers for you, not instead of you. Step in whenever you like, and set the limits once with Denis.
Can you fix a colour that went wrong somewhere else? It's gone all patchy 😭Take over any chat
Reply yourself in the same thread. The assistant steps back the moment you type.
Pause and resume
Pause the assistant for one customer or for everyone, then switch it back on.
Assign to your team
Chats and bookings go to the right person. Staff see only what is assigned to them. Growth and Scale: unlimited seats.
Your hours, or 24/7
Let it answer around the clock, or only when you are closed or busy.
A short form first, if you want one
Ask for a name, a number and consent to your privacy policy before the chat starts.
On one page or every page
Put the website chat on your booking page only, or across the site. Your colours, no third-party branding.
Block a number or a country
One tap, and the assistant never answers them again.

AI chatbot questions, answered.
How much does an AI chatbot cost in Ireland?
FrontDesk costs €39 a month on Solo, €97 on Growth and €149 on Scale, with no setup fee and no contract. It is set up, trained and updated for you, and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Custom chatbots built by agencies often carry a build fee in the thousands before running costs.
Is FrontDesk only a website chatbot?
No. One FrontDesk answers on your website chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, SMS, LINE and Viber, and replies to Instagram and Facebook comments with a private message.
Does it work with my existing WhatsApp number?
Yes. Your customers keep messaging the number they already have. Denis connects it either to the WhatsApp Business app you already use, or through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform, and recommends the right one on your demo.
What is the difference between a chatbot and an AI front desk?
A basic chatbot answers questions. FrontDesk also books the real slot, follows up with people who went quiet, texts back missed calls and hands the conversation to you when a person is needed.
Can the chatbot book appointments?
Yes. It books the real slot in Google Calendar, Trafft, Zenchef or Formitable. For Fresha, Booksy, Phorest, Treatwell or Calendly it sends your booking link at the right moment and follows up if the booking is not finished.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. Data is stored in the EU, consent and opt-out are built in, and a Data Processing Agreement is available on request. FrontDesk tells customers it is an AI in its first message, as the EU AI Act requires and never messages anyone who replied STOP.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. Denis sets everything up, trains it on your business and updates it when something changes. You send a short checklist and test it from your phone.
How quickly can it go live?
Within two working days of your demo call, and fully trained on everything you do within five.
What happens when it does not know the answer?
It tells the customer someone will get back to them and hands the conversation to you with the full context, so nobody repeats themselves.
Does it answer phone calls?
FrontDesk works in messaging. When you miss a call, it texts the caller back on WhatsApp within seconds, so you do not lose the enquiry.
Is there a free trial?
There is no trial period, but you can try it first: message the live chatbot on WhatsApp or book a free 15-minute demo. Your first 30 days are covered by the money-back guarantee.
Can it recommend services or upsell?
Yes. It suggests the right service from what the customer describes or sends, and mentions an add-on when it fits, such as a beard trim with a cut or a treatment with a colour. Only add-ons you have approved, in your tone, never pushy.
Can I take over a conversation?
Any time. Open the chat in your FrontDesk app and reply yourself; the assistant steps back while you type. You can also pause it for one customer or for everyone, and hand the conversation back when you are done.
Can my staff use it too?
Yes. Chats and bookings can be assigned to team members, and each person sees only what is assigned to them. Solo is one login. Growth and Scale include unlimited team seats.
Can I set opening hours or ask for details before the chat starts?
Both. It can answer 24/7 or only outside your hours, and you can add a short form at the start of website chat asking for a name, a number and consent to your privacy policy.
What happens if Denis is unavailable?
Your assistant keeps working without him: it answers, books and follows up on its own, day and night. A technical partner with access covers urgent changes if Denis is away, and if a channel ever disconnects you both get an email straight away.
Your customers are messaging. Answer every one.
