How it works
Three steps to a booked client.
- Step 1
A client messages you.
Scout replies in your voice and asks the right questions for your profession — placement, size, reference, budget, or whatever fits your craft.
- Step 2
Scout offers real slots.
It reads the availability you set in Qualifyr, holds the time, and reschedules in the same thread when the first choice is taken.
- Step 3
Deposit paid, booking confirmed.
You get the summary and show up. No chasing, no no-shows, no back-and-forth.
Capabilities
What Scout handles
Private beta scope: lead qualification, calendar-aware booking, Stripe deposit collection, voice match, client memory, approval cards. Coming next: more channels, team seats.
Lead qualification
Scout asks the qualifying questions for your profession in your messages, and only forwards real opportunities. Built-in playbooks for tattoo, barber, hair, photography, coaching, fitness and more.
Calendar-aware booking
Scout reads the availability you set in Qualifyr, proposes real open slots, and handles holds, releases, and reschedules in the thread. No double-bookings.
Stripe deposit collection
Scout collects the deposit before the booking is confirmed. Money lands in your own Stripe account. Stripe's standard processing fees apply. No platform fee on deposits.
Voice and tone match
Scout replies in your voice, in the language your client writes in. Edit a sample and it learns the cadence. Languages confirmed during onboarding.
Client memory
Returning clients don't repeat themselves. Scout remembers prior sessions, preferences, and last conversation — pulled into the thread so you never re-ask what they already told you.
Guardrails by default
Respects the 24-hour Meta messaging window, replies to inbound messages only, won't double-book or double-charge on retries, and hands off when unsure. You stay in control of every reply.
Two agents, one business.
Scout turns your conversations into qualified bookings, while Studio Copilot keeps the back office moving.
