Can an AI receptionist work for dance studios?
Tactly is an AI receptionist for dance studios. It answers while teachers are in class, explains your styles, age groups and how class placement works, and books trial classes or placement evaluations into your calendar. During recital season it answers dates, call times and venue details from your notes. Account and costume payment questions are taken as messages, and every call is emailed as a summary and transcript.
The problem
Missed calls are missed work.
Dance studios fill classes in two waves: late summer registration and January. Those weeks the phone rings nonstop with parents asking where their child fits. A studio that cannot answer loses families to the one across town that did.
Recital season brings a second flood: dress rehearsal times, ticket questions, where to drop off. The answers are the same for every family, but your office still has to stop teaching or sewing to give them.
Calls it handles
The calls dance studios get every day.
Which level fits?
Tactly explains how you place dancers by age and experience and books a trial or placement class.
Recital details

Styles you teach

Costume and tuition questions
Tactly cannot see accounts, so it takes the family name and question for the front office.
