Bookaira film: transcript

The film has no dialogue beyond what is below; every spoken line is also on screen as a caption. It is a dramatization with sample names (Sophie, Emma, Sam), not a real shop or customer. The app screens are real. Length: 1 minute 30 seconds.

[A busy salon. The paper appointment book on the counter, and a phone ringing: Sam is calling.]
Narrator: Your hands are full, and the phone won't stop ringing.
Narrator: Meet Ava, your AI receptionist.
Narrator: Call her Ava, or give her any name you like.

[A call comes in. Emma's phone shows the call as it happens.]
Ava, AI receptionist: Hi Sam, it's Ava at Maple Hair Studio.
Sam, caller: Can I book a cut and colour with Emma on Saturday at two?
Ava, AI receptionist: I have two-thirty or three o'clock with Emma.
Sam, caller: Two-thirty works.
Ava, AI receptionist: All set.
[On screen: New booking. Sam, Cut & colour, Saturday, November 14 at 2:30 pm]

Narrator: She answers calls and texts, and books right into your calendar.

[Sophie at home on her couch, texting Maple Hair Studio.]
Narrator: Sophie books by text, and gets a confirmation right away.

[At the salon counter, Sophie scans the check-in poster with her phone. In the calendar, Sophie shows as Checked in.]
Narrator: She scans to check in, and Emma knows she's here.
Narrator: So Emma can focus on the work she loves.

[Sophie adds a tip for Emma and pays $168.]

[Emma sets her hours in the app.]
Narrator: Every stylist sets their working hours a week or two ahead, adds their days off, and Bookaira reminds them when it's time.

[The paper book is closed.]
Narrator: And the book? It can finally rest.
Narrator: Bookaira. Your appointment book, now it answers the phone.
