AI receptionist for small business: calls, bookings and handoffs
What an AI receptionist does on a real call, the rules that apply, a sample greeting and a pass/fail checklist to launch one safely.
Travelers get booking, itinerary and document answers on WhatsApp in any time zone, and disruptions reach your team with full context.
Travelers have questions before and during every trip, often at hours your office is closed. WhatsApp AI Support Agent for Travel & Tourism answers them on WhatsApp from their booking and your approved guides, sends pre-trip reminders through approved templates and passes disruptions straight to your operations team with the booking attached. Your team keeps every decision.

WhatsApp AI Support Agent for Travel & Tourism answers travelers on WhatsApp wherever they are: booking details from your reservation system, itinerary and document questions from your approved guides, and pre-trip reminders through approved templates. Disruptions and changes go to your team with the booking attached.
Travel support never really closes. Travelers in other time zones message about pick-up times, documents and inclusions, and every unanswered question becomes an anxious follow-up or a bad review. This edition answers from the booking and your own guides at any hour, and sends anything that needs a decision to a person with the details collected. Your operations team spends its time on real disruptions. The Scope Card fixes the connected systems, the templates, the knowledge sources and the forty test conversations before you buy, so it never relies on general travel advice.
The agent answers travelers on WhatsApp wherever they are. Booking details come from your reservation system, so answers are available outside your working hours. Nobody waits overnight for simple details.
Itinerary and document questions are answered from your approved guides. The agent sticks to what your guides say and passes unusual cases to staff. Travelers get clear answers in the run-up to departure.
Approved templates send pre-trip reminders at the right time. Up to five templates are submitted for Meta approval as part of the build. Travelers know what to pack and when to arrive.
Disruptions and changes go straight to your team with the booking attached. Staff can act quickly without asking the traveler to repeat details. The agent does not try to rebook trips itself.
Your portal lists these the moment you order. Delivery starts the working day after everything is in and your access is checked.
| Option | Delivery time | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 20–30 working days | $3,500 |
| Express | 15–25 working days | $4,100 |

Before you start: Export a month of traveler chats with times and topics. Note how reminders are sent today and how fast disruption chats are picked up.
These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.
The build is one fixed price. To run it you pay Meta's WhatsApp conversation fees in your own account, plus roughly $30 to $150 a month for AI model usage and hosting. Your reservation system and CRM subscriptions do not change.
AI usage while we build and test is billed to your accounts as well, so the operator keeps every provider relationship, Meta's included.

How maintenance works| Do it yourself with a SaaS tool | Hire a custom agency | Upmark Labs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | A WhatsApp inbox tool charges monthly per agent | An outsourced travel helpdesk bills per hour or per traveler | Ours is one fixed price, shown on this page before you buy |
| Booking answers | A generic bot cannot see bookings | An agent looks each booking up | Ours reads the booking by reference and answers from it |
| Disruptions | Often lost in the general queue | Depends on staffing at that hour | Ours gathers details and passes them to operations at once |
| Delivery | Days to install, weeks to map flows | Usually several weeks, set per project | Ours has a fixed delivery time shown before you buy, with faster options |
Yes, when your booking engine or reservation system is connected by API as one of the two systems. The agent asks for a booking reference first, then answers from the booking itself, such as dates, inclusions and transfer times. Without that connection it answers from your guides and passes booking-specific questions to your team.
Only what your own approved documents say. It answers document and entry questions from the checklists and guides you provide, and when a traveler asks something those materials do not cover, it says so and hands the chat to your team rather than relying on general knowledge that could be out of date.
The agent collects the booking reference, what happened and where the traveler is, then passes the chat straight to your operations team with the booking attached. Finding and confirming new arrangements stays with your team. If you want rebooking options proposed automatically, see AI Travel Rebooking Agent, $6,900.
