Terely is an AI receptionist in Telegram for people who work by appointment. It answers questions in your own words, shows what is free, books the slot, reminds the client before the visit and calls you in when the conversation matters.
It opens in Telegram, no sign-up. The bot answering you is this product, running for us — and the times it offers are a real calendar.
Sound familiar?
A message arrives at 23:40. You reply at 9 in the morning — they have booked with someone else.
Half your inbox is the same three questions: how much, where are you, anything free on Saturday.
Bookings live across Instagram, Telegram and your memory. Who is at 15:00? You scroll back to find out.
Someone did not turn up and did not warn you. That hour stayed empty.
You answer messages between clients — and do neither of the two properly.
What it does
Everything is edited in the admin panel: texts, prices, answers, schedule. You need a developer once — to launch.
You fill in a knowledge base — question and answer. The bot replies only with what you told it, and honestly says "let me check" when it does not know. In the client's language.
Shows free times and books them. Its own calendar or your Cal.com — cancellations and reschedules flow back automatically.
A day ahead — right on the edge of free cancellation. Fewer empty slots, fewer no-shows.
A code word delivers your price list, a care guide or a checklist. Once per client, and you see who took what.
"Urgent", "today", "cancel" — you get a notification, the bot goes quiet and hands the conversation over. You reply yourself, from the panel, as the bot.
Every conversation is a card: status, request category, a short summary of what was said. You can see how many came and how many booked.
What it looks like
Conversations, bookings, texts and settings in one place. From a phone too.
Who it is for
The same bot works as a barbershop and as a psychologist: the texts, services and questions change, the code does not. That is why launching takes weeks rather than months, and costs like a setup rather than like software written from scratch.
A price list of twelve services, bookings across five barbers, a five-question grooming quiz, care guides for beards. Three languages: Estonian, Russian, English.
Answers about format and fees, an anxiety self-assessment worded with care, calendar booking, and a handover to a human the moment the words turn worrying.
Both examples are demonstrations, built to show what the product can do.
Why two weeks
There are services that put an assistant on your site in ten minutes. They work: the bot reads your website, guesses the rest and starts talking. If that is what you want, take one — it will be cheaper than this. Here is what the extra fortnight is actually spent on.
Your site says "haircut from 35 €". Your clients ask whether that includes the wash, whether you take kids, and what happens if they are ten minutes late. Those answers are in your head — we sit down and get them out of it. A bot scraping your homepage cannot.
The first days after launch we watch the real conversations and fix the wording that misfires. Not a dashboard you are meant to check yourself — an actual person reading them, because the first ten clients always ask something nobody predicted.
Your own Telegram bot, your own admin panel, your own database. It can run on your server if you prefer. Leaving means taking your data and going, not exporting a CSV and hoping.
No sales layer, no ticket queue, no feature promised by someone who will not have to build it. The trade-off is honest: one developer has limits, and you hear them on the call rather than discover them in month three.
Pricing
The exact figure depends on how many services you have and how complex the booking is. I will name it after a first conversation — free and with no obligation.

FAQ
One to two weeks. The slow part is not the technology but collecting your answers: prices, cancellation terms, what makes you different. Usually one hour-long conversation and a few follow-ups.
It answers from your knowledge base, not from its own ideas about your work. What is not in there it does not invent — it offers to check. On worrying words it goes quiet and calls you. And you can read every conversation in full, any time.
No. The bot lives in Telegram and the link works anywhere — Instagram, a business card, your signature. If you do have a site, we put the link there too and you can see which clients came from it.
Our own server in the European Union, daily backups. Conversations are not used to train models. If you leave, you take your data with you and we delete ours.
Good — the bot plugs into it rather than replacing it. Cal.com is supported today; others are added as a separate module, and the product already has the interface for it.
The client's. It detects the language and switches on request. Buttons and messages are written per language, so nothing comes out half-translated.
You do not need to be. The panel is fields and tables: change a price, add an answer, move a time. The rest is on us.
Not a video: ask it about prices, take the five-question check, and book a free call with the person who builds it. Takes a minute.
