Concierge
Your AI-powered operations assistant — ask questions about your business, get data-driven suggestions, and take action on gap filling, reconnect campaigns, inbox replies, scheduling, retention, and reviews, all from a single chat interface.
Where to find it — Web: Sidebar → Concierge. Mobile: Concierge tab in the bottom navigation bar.
Overview
The Concierge lets you:
- Chat with an AI assistant that knows your venue's data — bookings, revenue, clients, and schedule
- Get personalised starter questions based on your role and business metrics
- Receive action suggestions for gap filling, win-back campaigns, inbox replies, rescheduling, no-show follow-ups, and review requests
- Draft, review, and execute actions directly from the chat — with approval workflows for high-risk operations
- Resume previous conversations and pick up where you left off
Note
The Concierge requires a PRO subscription. Each chat message costs 1 Spark. Actions cost additional Sparks depending on complexity. See Understanding Spark (AI Credits) for details.
Getting started
Starting a conversation
- Go to Concierge in the sidebar (web) or tap the Concierge tab (mobile).
- Choose a suggested question from the starter chips, or type your own question.
- Press Send (arrow icon) to start the conversation.
The Concierge responds with advice, data insights, or action suggestions based on your question and your venue's current data.
Starter chips
The Concierge shows personalised starter questions based on your role and your venue's metrics. Chips rotate daily for variety.
Data-aware chips appear when your metrics trigger them:
| Condition | Starter question |
|---|---|
| Occupancy below 60% | "How do I fill my empty appointment slots?" |
| Declining revenue | "What can I do to boost revenue this month?" |
| Revenue concentrated on one staff member (>50%) | "How do I reduce my dependency on one team member?" |
| No-show rate above 10% | "How do I reduce no-shows at my salon?" |
| Low rebooking rate (<60%, staff only) | "How can I improve my rebooking rate?" |
| Gaps detected tomorrow (staff only) | "I have gaps tomorrow — how do I fill them?" |
Tap "More" to see additional suggestions, including topics from your recent conversations.
If you have a recent session (within 48 hours), a "Continue" chip appears so you can resume your last conversation.
Chat interface
Messages
- Your messages appear on the right
- Concierge responses appear on the left with a sparkles icon
- Each response includes a Copy button to copy the text
- Follow-up suggestions may appear as clickable pills below the response
Spark balance
The Concierge displays your remaining Spark balance at the bottom of the chat:
| Balance | Display |
|---|---|
| Over 100 Sparks | "1 Spark per message" |
| 10–100 Sparks | "~{N} messages remaining" |
| Under 10 Sparks | "{N} messages remaining" |
| 0 Sparks | Chat input disabled |
When your balance is low (under $5), a "Top up Sparks" button appears.
A disclaimer below the input reads: "Concierge may make mistakes — verify figures before acting."
Chat history
- Web: Previous conversations appear in a sidebar on the left. Click a session to reopen it.
- Mobile: Tap the chat history button (panel icon) to open a drawer with your conversation history.
Actions
When your conversation relates to an operational task, the Concierge may suggest an action. Actions appear as cards below the chat response.
Action families
| Family | Example action | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Gap fill | Create Flash Deal draft | Offers a discounted slot to fill a cancellation |
| Reconnect | Draft win-back campaign | Sends an SMS/email to lapsed clients |
| Inbox reply | Draft inbox reply | Composes a reply to a customer message |
| Scheduling | Reschedule appointment | Moves a booking to a new time and notifies the customer |
| Retention | Follow up with no-shows | Sends a follow-up message to customers who missed appointments |
| Feedback | Request reviews from today's clients | Asks recent clients to leave a review |
Risk tiers
Each action has a risk level that determines whether approval is needed:
| Risk tier | Behaviour | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | You review and execute directly — no approval needed | Flash deals, inbox replies, review requests |
| Approval required | Queued for Owner/Manager review before execution | Win-back campaigns, rescheduling, no-show follow-ups |
Owners always bypass approval, even for approval-required actions. Solopreneur venues (single-person businesses) also skip approval workflows.
Working with action cards
- The Concierge suggests an action with a headline, reason, and risk badge ("Draft" or "Approval needed").
- Click "Prepare draft" (for draft actions) or "Queue for review" (for approval-required actions).
- Review the generated draft — you can edit the message text before proceeding.
- Click "Save draft" or "Queue for approval" to finalise.
- Click "Not now" to dismiss the suggestion.
Pending approvals
Owners and Managers see a "Pending approvals" section showing actions queued by team members.
- Open a pending action and click "Review".
- Edit the draft if needed.
- Click "Approve" to execute or "Reject" (with an optional reason) to discard.
Pending actions expire after 24 hours (approval-required) or 7 days (drafts) if not actioned.
Nudges
The Concierge proactively detects situations that need attention and shows nudge cards on your dashboard.
Gap detection nudge
When tomorrow's schedule has fewer than 4 bookings per staff member and waitlist matches exist:
- With a match: Shows "Waitlist match found" with a "Send offer" button
- Without a match: Shows "Gaps in tomorrow's schedule" with a "View gaps" button
Dismissing a nudge hides it for 24 hours.
Role-aware context
The Concierge adapts its knowledge based on your role:
| Role | Context provided |
|---|---|
| Owner / Manager | Full business metrics (revenue, occupancy, rebooking rate), today's schedule, service list, business memory |
| Staff | Personal performance metrics, service list, business memory |
Starter questions also differ by role — Owners see marketing, growth, and team operations topics, while Staff see consultation, skill development, and client experience topics.
Role access
| Action | Owner | Manager | Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chat with Concierge | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Receive action suggestions | Yes | Yes | Yes (limited set) |
| Execute draft actions | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Execute approval-required actions | Yes (bypasses approval) | Queued for review | Queued for review |
| Review and approve pending actions | Yes | Yes | No |
| Reject pending actions | Yes | Yes | No |
Staff limitations: Staff members can access flash deals, inbox replies, and review requests. They cannot access reconnect campaigns, rescheduling, or no-show follow-ups.
Platform differences
| Feature | Web | Mobile |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Sidebar → Concierge | Concierge tab |
| Chat history | Persistent left sidebar | Drawer via chat history button |
| Action cards | Inline below messages | Inline below messages |
| Pending approvals | Dedicated section | Same |
| Nudges | Dashboard cards | Dashboard cards |
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Concierge shows "Upgrade to PRO" | The Concierge requires a PRO subscription. Owners can upgrade from Settings → Billing. Staff members see: "Concierge is a PRO feature. Ask your account owner to upgrade to unlock it." |
| Chat input is disabled | Your Spark balance is empty. Top up your wallet from Settings → Billing on web. See Understanding Spark. |
| No starter questions appearing | Starter questions require at least 10 historical bookings for data-aware chips. New venues see generic topic suggestions instead. |
| Action suggestion not appearing | The Concierge only suggests actions when your question relates to an operational task (gap filling, reconnect, reviews, etc.). General advice questions do not trigger actions. Additionally, actions are gated by data — for example, gap fill requires future bookings, and reconnect requires lapsed clients. |
| Pending action expired | Approval-required actions expire after 24 hours. Draft actions expire after 7 days. Ask the Concierge to regenerate the action if needed. |
| "Not now" dismissed an action I wanted | Start a new message about the same topic — the Concierge will suggest the action again in a new conversation turn. |
