What AI can take off your plate

Five places to start

Lessons booked and swapped

Parents book and swap lessons without the back-and-forth.

Term fees chased

Invoices at the start of term, with polite reminders until they're paid.

Parent questions answered

Times, kit, holidays and cancellations answered for you.

Waiting lists that move

When a place opens up, the next family is offered it automatically.

Reports from your notes

End-of-term reports drafted from a few lines, for you to finish.

Ring the demo assistant

Ask it awkward questions out loud and hear how it answers, and when it hands over to you.

An example

Sunday night

Instead of replying to a dozen parent messages, you read a short summary on Monday morning. The routine ones were already answered.
