# DeskOwl

> DeskOwl is an AI phone receptionist and salon booking platform for Australian salons and service businesses. It answers every call in a natural Australian voice, books appointments straight into your calendar, and texts the client a confirmation — 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends, and while you're with a client. Operated by Veda Digital Solutions Pty Ltd (ABN 21 690 553 621).

## What DeskOwl does
- AI voice receptionist: answers every incoming call 24/7 in a natural Australian voice, and handles several calls at once. It books, reschedules and cancels appointments on the phone, recognises regular clients and offers their usual, speaks callers' languages, hands off to a human when needed, and screens time-wasters. It identifies itself as an AI if asked.
- Salon platform (free): a salon calendar with rosters, chairs and colour-processing gaps; online bookings with Stripe deposits; a client book (import, visit history, "their usual"); two-way sync with Google Calendar and Square; owner dashboard.
- Confirmations: SMS and email on paid plans; email on the free plan.
