The Challenge

Before engaging AIVerse Solutions, the instructor faced several operational challenges:

• Missed or delayed responses to client enquiries due to manual SMS handling
• Frequent back-and-forth messages to confirm availability
• Difficulty keeping the calendar updated in real time
• After-hours messages going unanswered, leading to lost leads
• High administrative workload reducing time spent on core teaching activities

The client needed a simple, reliable, and automated solution that worked primarily through SMS, as most of their clients preferred text communication.

The Solution

AIVerse Solutions designed and implemented an AI-powered SMS inbox and calendar automation system tailored to the instructor's workflow.

Key Features Implemented

1. Centralised SMS Inbox

All client messages were routed into a single dashboard, allowing clear visibility and tracking of conversations.

2. Automated SMS Responses

AI-driven responses handled common queries such as:

• Available time slots
• Lesson pricing
• Location and preparation details
• Booking confirmation messages

3. Calendar Integration

The system was integrated with the instructor's calendar to:

• Check real-time availability
• Automatically book confirmed slots
• Prevent double bookings
• Instantly update cancellations or reschedules

4. Smart Appointment Flows

Clients could book or reschedule lessons directly via SMS prompts, without needing phone calls or manual confirmation.

5. After-Hours Automation

The system continued responding outside business hours, capturing leads and confirming tentative bookings automatically.
