ServiceFlo∞, by Flo∞ AI (flo8.io), runs your whole business by talking to it. Flo∞ is the AI inside the app: a voice-first assistant for owners and managers. Say "book Mariam with Sarah at 3pm" or "what's low on stock?" and it's done. No tapping through menus while a client waits. And when you can't pick up, Flo∞'s AI receptionist does. It answers calls in your language, books and reschedules appointments, offers a freed slot to the clients waiting for one, and sends confirmations, so you never lose a booking to a missed call. WHAT YOU CAN DO BY VOICE • Book, move, and cancel appointments hands-free • Check today's schedule, revenue, and who's working • Arrange cover when a staff member calls in sick • Track stock and get reorder reminders before you run out AI RECEPTIONIST (24/7) • Answers your business line in English or Arabic • Books clients and confirms on WhatsApp automatically • Hands off to you when a human is needed, so nothing slips YOU DECIDE WHAT IT DOES ALONE • Calls, bookings, reschedules, and birthday and seasonal greetings are handled on their own, always • Win-backs and review requests stay switched off until you turn them on, one at a time. Until then Flo∞ flags the client for you instead of messaging them • A stock reorder is always drafted and waits for you. Flo∞ never places it • An activity feed logs every action Flo∞ took, and when • One tap undoes a booking, a move, or a stock change it made RESPECTFUL TO YOUR CLIENTS • Anything Flo∞ sends for you goes out in daytime hours only, and you set them • Every marketing message carries a reply-STOP opt-out • A client who opts out still gets their booking confirmations and reminders EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • Bookings calendar with per-staff colors • Inventory with low-stock and reorder alerts • Staff schedules, time off, and cover • Customer history, reports, and an activity feed • Siri and home-screen widgets, so you can ask Flo∞ without opening the app BUILT FOR MENA • Works in English, Arabic, and French • Made for salons, spas, barbershops, and aesthetic clinics across the UAE and the wider region Flo∞ AI is an applied AI firm in the UAE. ServiceFlo∞ is its product for salons, spas, clinics and studios: bookings, stock, and staff in one place, wherever you are.
