Picture this: you're making your morning coffee and casually ask "Who's coming in today?" – and instantly get an overview of all your appointments. Or you're on the go and want to quickly book a client for tomorrow. No logging in, no clicking through menus. Just ask.
That's now possible. Bookura now works with AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. And no, you don't need to be tech-savvy to use this. If you can text, you can do this.
How does it work?
You connect Bookura to ChatGPT or Claude (we've created a simple guide for that). After that, you can just ask questions about your salon in plain language. The AI understands what you mean and pulls the right information from Bookura, or makes changes for you.
No complicated menus. No endless clicking. Just ask what you want to know.
