For barbershops

Your barbershop books clients while you cut

Clients write on Instagram, WhatsApp or call while your hands are busy. Raka AI answers, offers a free time with the right barber and books it.

Raka AIRaka AI is an AI receptionist and AI manager for small businesses and online stores. It answers customers in Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and website chat, answers phone calls, books, moves and cancels appointments, hands a conversation to a person when needed, and runs Shopify store tasks and social media content when the owner asks.
