Real-time AI voice & chat systems

AI assistants that don't just talk. They get things done.

We develop intelligent voice and chat assistants that understand natural conversation, connect to real business systems, and help customers complete real tasks — from checking appointments to resolving account issues.

No recording, stopping, or waiting for a canned reply. Just speak naturally, get a live response, and interrupt or change direction whenever you need to.

Meet Howie & Cal at Christopher Royce Hair Studios

Two intelligent assistants, each with a different responsibility, integrated into a real customer-facing business platform.

Howie Dewitt

AI Account & VIP Assistant

Howie helps customers navigate the account experience. Rather than forcing someone through pages of FAQs, Howie can interpret the problem, help identify the likely cause, and guide them toward a solution.

• Help customers troubleshoot registration and sign-in issues
• Identify common account setup and email confirmation problems
• Help existing customers connect their VIP memberships
• Guide members through subscription and billing-related questions
• Provide clear next steps or direct customers to human support

Example conversation

“I signed up, but my VIP membership isn't showing up.”

Howie can help determine whether the issue involves account setup, confirmation, or membership linking and walk the customer through the next steps.

Cal Anderson

AI VIP Scheduling Assistant

Cal connects natural conversation to the actual scheduling system. Eligible VIP members can ask about appointments without navigating a calendar, selecting multiple filters, or manually searching through available times.

• Understand natural requests for specific dates and times
• Retrieve real-time availability from Acuity Scheduling
• Retrieve the customer's currently scheduled appointments
• Book appointments using available scheduling options
• Help reschedule or cancel existing appointments
• Confirm important details before making changes

Example conversation

“What does Chris have available next Thursday after four?”

Cal understands the request, checks Acuity for real openings, and can guide the customer through booking an available appointment.

Howie is available for public account guidance. Cal's scheduling functionality is restricted to authorized VIP members.

Real-time voice intelligence

A real conversation. Not a walkie-talkie.

Traditional voice interfaces make you record a message, send it, and wait for an entire response. Our conversational experience is built to feel much closer to speaking with another person.

Live AI Conversation

Illustrative scheduling interaction

Live

Customer

“Hey Cal, can you check what Chris has available next Thursday afternoon?”

Cal

“Sure, let me check his availability for Thursday afternoon...”

Checking Acuity

Customer interrupts

“Actually, wait — Friday would be better. Anything after three?”

Cal

“Of course. Let's look at Friday after three instead.”

Natural turn-taking

Illustrative conversation — watch the real demo above for actual voice interaction.

No recording buttons

Start speaking naturally. There is no need to record a message, press stop, and submit it before the conversation continues.

Live spoken responses

The assistant responds conversationally using generated speech instead of making customers wait for an entire audio response to be prepared.

Interrupt whenever you want

Change your mind or clarify a question while the assistant is speaking. The conversation can adapt without waiting for the assistant to finish.

Understands intent in context

Customers can speak in everyday language. The assistant interprets what they're trying to accomplish and selects the appropriate workflow.

Why this matters

Customers don't need to learn special commands. They can ask follow-up questions, provide additional context, change their minds, and continue naturally. The AI interprets the evolving conversation rather than forcing everyone through a fixed script.

Connected intelligence

The AI isn't guessing. It's connected.

The most valuable part isn't just understanding what somebody says. It's securely connecting that conversation to the systems that actually run the business.

Live scheduling integration

Acuity Scheduling API

Christopher Royce already used Acuity Scheduling. Rather than replacing the scheduling platform, we connected the AI assistant to it.

Cal can interpret a natural-language scheduling request and retrieve actual appointment information. Customers can ask for availability, review upcoming appointments, and manage bookings through a conversation instead of navigating traditional forms.

• Check real-time openings and available times
• Interpret relative dates, time ranges, and service requests
• Retrieve current scheduled appointments
• Book, reschedule, or cancel authorized appointments
• Confirm appointment details and validate availability before changes

Live information, eligibility checks, and confirmation protect the workflow from stale or unauthorized changes.

Membership & billing integration

Stripe Subscriptions

Christopher Royce's VIP program uses Stripe subscriptions and a payment portal. The custom platform connects membership information with the customer's account experience.

This allows account assistance to go beyond generic billing instructions. With the appropriate account checks, the system can identify subscription-related states, help explain VIP access problems, and guide customers to the proper self-service billing steps.

• Connect customer accounts with VIP subscriptions
• Verify membership and subscription-related status
• Help troubleshoot membership linking problems
• Guide customers to the secure Stripe payment portal
• Support membership-aware access to VIP features

Example account issue

Customer

“I'm already paying for VIP, but my account says I'm not a member.”

Account support workflow

Check account and membership association, identify possible mismatches, and guide the customer through the appropriate account-linking or support steps.

Sensitive payment details remain in the appropriate secure billing interface, not in ordinary chatbot messages.

Intelligent account assistance

Live Account Troubleshooting

Most customer support bots can only tell you to reset your password or contact support. A connected assistant can be considerably more useful.

Howie can interpret the customer's problem and guide them through relevant account checks and resolution steps. Instead of making customers guess whether an issue involves registration, confirmation, or VIP access, the assistant helps narrow down the problem.

• Registration and account setup questions
• Email verification and confirmation issues
• Sign-in and account-access troubleshooting
• Existing membership association problems
• Guided solutions and human-support escalation

Different problems. Different solutions.

Confirmation problem

Guide the customer through email verification or the appropriate account confirmation steps.

Existing account

Help determine whether the customer should sign in, recover access, or finish setup.

VIP membership issue

Help distinguish account-access problems from subscription and membership-linking issues.

Needs a person

Provide a clear support path when the problem cannot be resolved through supported self-service actions.

Behind the technology

From natural conversation to real action

The assistant isn't simply generating text. It interprets a request, determines which authorized tools are needed, retrieves live data, and guides the customer through the result.

01

Listen & understand

Live audio or text enters the conversational experience. The AI interprets the customer's intent and conversational context.

02

Select the right action

The assistant determines whether the customer needs account guidance, scheduling information, membership assistance, or another supported action.

03

Connect to business systems

Authorized server-side operations communicate with the relevant scheduling, account, or subscription services to retrieve real information.

04

Confirm & complete

The assistant presents results naturally, requests confirmation where needed, and helps complete the authorized action.

High-level system architecture

One conversation. Multiple connected systems.

The customer doesn't need to know which platform manages the appointment, membership, or account. The application connects the right systems behind the experience.

Engineering that matters

More than a chatbot with a prompt

A useful business assistant needs more than a good AI model. It needs context, accurate data, controlled integrations, and workflows designed around what customers actually need.

Real-time voice

Streaming voice interaction enables natural exchanges, spoken responses, and interruption without record-and-submit steps.

Intent interpretation

The assistant can understand requests expressed in different ways and use conversation context to select the appropriate supported workflow.

Live operational data

Responses can be grounded in actual appointment availability, customer records, and verified application data instead of generated guesses.

Permission-aware actions

Account-specific operations can require authentication, eligibility checks, and explicit customer confirmation before changes are made.

API connectivity

Integrations allow the assistant to communicate with existing scheduling, subscription, account, and operational platforms.

Actionable support

Rather than offering the same generic advice repeatedly, the assistant can help narrow down supported problems and guide customers to useful next steps.

Built around the existing business

AI that works with the software you already use.

Christopher Royce needed a modern customer experience without abandoning its established scheduling and subscription infrastructure.

We developed the surrounding web application, account and VIP workflows, and conversational interfaces to work with those business systems. The assistants serve as a much more natural way for customers to interact with the platform.

Acuity Scheduling

The existing appointment platform stays in place.

Stripe

Subscription and payment infrastructure remains connected.

Customer accounts

Registration, VIP access and account support work together.

AI assistants

A natural conversational layer connects customers with supported workflows.
