An AI receptionist for your Austin business
Give first-time callers a helpful starting point and existing customers a way to reach your team. Aria answers routine questions from your business information and takes inquiries while staff are with customers.
Planning your call flow
Austin publishes a map of permitted street events, with a reminder that it may not show every closure and can change. For a studio, salon or office near an affected route, the questions may be practical: which entrance is open, where should I arrive, and what if I am running late?
Aria can share the current arrival information your business supplies alongside its service descriptions and hours. Your team checks local changes and updates those instructions. The City map is a reference for staff; it is not a live information feed connected to Aria.
Keep a first-visit question separate from a change to an existing appointment. A new caller may need help understanding your introductory options. An existing customer may need to leave a message about a delay. Your staff can review either request before making an exception or confirming a change.
Call handling needs
Help a caller prepare for a first visit. Explain the service options, what to expect and the arrival details your business has approved.
Keep practical information current. When an event affects access near your business, give Aria the revised entrance or visitor instructions your team has checked.
Take a useful message when plans change. Capture a caller's delay or requested appointment change so staff can decide what to offer next.

Example scenarios
A first studio visit near an event route
A caller asks an Austin fitness studio about its introductory session and which entrance to use that weekend. Aria can explain the studio's approved first-visit information and current arrival instructions. It can take an inquiry or, when booking is enabled, offer an eligible configured introductory appointment.
A salon customer running late
A customer reports a delay near a street event and asks whether a salon can still see them. Aria can take the caller's name, appointment details and message, then follow the salon's configured contact instructions. Staff decide whether the appointment can proceed or needs a change.
Frequently asked questions
Does Aria know about current Austin street closures?
Use Aria to share the arrival instructions your business has checked and supplied. It should not be treated as a live traffic or street-closure service. Staff can review current local information and update what callers are told.
Can it tell callers which introductory service to choose?
Aria can explain your supplied service descriptions and ask what the caller is looking for. Requests involving suitability or an unclear choice can go to staff. Optional booking should include only the introductory services and times you have chosen to enable.
Can a caller leave a message about being late?
Yes. Aria can take the message and follow your configured staff-contact instructions. Your team decides whether to hold the appointment, change it or offer another option. A message alone does not change the booking.
