Text booking Planned

Clients text to book. You stay in charge.

Some clients will always text instead of tapping a link. We’re planning an automated assistant that reads the text, offers your real open times and books the one the client picks. It’s off until you turn it on, you can read every conversation, and anything it’s unsure about comes to you.

hey can I get a fade thursday after 5

Hi, this is Northside Barber Co.’s automated booking assistant. Marcus has 5:30 pm or 7:00 pm on Thu, Oct 1 for a skin fade (45 min, $40). Which works?

5:30

You’re booked: skin fade with Marcus, Thu, Oct 1 at 5:30 pm. Details or changes: dibbo.io/b/… Reply STOP to opt out.

Concept A concept of text booking: a client asks for a fade and picks a time.

The texts never stop

Between cuts your phone keeps buzzing: “you got anything Saturday?”, “can I come in earlier?”. Answering means stopping mid-cut, or losing the client to whoever answers first.

A booking link fixes that for most clients, but some people just text. They should be able to, without it landing on you.

How it works

  1. 1

    They text like they talk

    “Can I get a fade Thursday after 5?” No codes, no app.

  2. 2

    dibbo checks your real book

    It only offers times that are actually open, for the service and barber they asked for.

  3. 3

    They pick, and they’re booked

    They reply with the time they want, and dibbo confirms it like any other booking, reminders included.

  4. 4

    You stay in charge

    It’s off until you switch it on. It tells clients it’s automated and never pretends to be you. You can read every conversation, and anything it can’t handle comes to you. Every booking still needs the client’s reply or the confirm link.

What’s included

What’s ready at launch, and what’s still to come. We’d rather you know before you switch.

  • Booking by text in plain words Planned
  • Offers only times that are really open Planned
  • Hands off to you when it isn’t sure Planned
  • You can read and switch off its conversations Planned
  • Runs on your own shop number (add-on) Planned

Questions

Something else? Email hello@dibbo.io.

When is it coming?
It’s planned, with no date yet. It will start on your own shop number, an add-on that comes after launch. Get early access and we’ll tell you when it’s ready.
What will the assistant know about my clients?
Only what it needs to book: your services, your open times, and a client’s first name if they’ve booked before. Never your notes or their visit history. We’ll only use an AI provider that doesn’t train on your data.
Will it pretend to be me?
No. It tells clients it’s automated, it won’t pretend to be you, and it hands anything it can’t handle to you.
