ZO Skin Centre Dallas is a skin and aesthetics clinic. Its front desk was swamped by calls, texts, social DMs and walk-ins. In May 2024 it switched on Podium's AI Employee, Avery, which replies to messages, answers questions and qualifies leads, including every message that comes in after hours.
A WhatsApp agent answers salon clients any time, checks the schedule in Google Sheets, books, moves or cancels appointments, and sends 24-hour reminders to cut no-shows.
Buddies Pet Daycare Boarding and Grooming in Las Vegas kept missing calls while staff were in the back with dogs or busy with walk-ins, and callers went elsewhere. Now the AI answers unanswered calls, takes the details, and texts and emails a transcript to the owners. It can also transfer callers to a person.
