Can an AI receptionist work for music schools and lesson studios?
Tactly is an AI receptionist for music schools and lesson studios. It answers while teachers are in lessons, explains which instruments you teach, age minimums, lesson lengths and your teachers' styles from your notes, and books trial lessons into your calendar. It shares only the rates you choose to list. Calls about changing a regular lesson time are taken as messages, and every call is emailed as a summary and transcript.
The problem
Missed calls are missed work.
Most lesson studios have one person at the desk, and that person is often also a teacher. During the after-school hours, when parents are most likely to call, everyone is in a room with a student.
A family choosing music lessons usually calls two or three studios. The one that answers, explains the first lesson and offers a time is the one that gets the student, often for years.
Calls it handles
The calls music schools and lesson studios get every day.
A trial lesson
Tactly asks the instrument and the student's age and books a trial lesson with an open teacher slot.
Which instruments?
Piano, guitar, voice, drums, strings. It explains what you teach and from what age.
Renting an instrument
If you rent or recommend shops, it shares what your notes say. Otherwise it takes a message.
Moving a weekly lesson
Tactly cannot see your lesson roster, so it takes the request for the office to rearrange.
Setup tips
