Meet Your AI Assistant

CaptainBook is the first reservation technology company in the world to release an AI Assistant with real-time access to your inventory and availability — capable of placing bookings without human intervention.

Available 24/7, it enhances your customer experience, boosts conversions, and reduces repetitive workload for your team.

🤖 What the AI Assistant Can Do

Here’s what your Assistant is trained to handle:

✅ Answer Customer Questions

From product details to availability and cancellation policies, customers can ask things like:

  • “Where does this tour start?”

  • “Is it suitable for children under 5?”

  • “How much does it cost for 2 adults and 1 child?”

🔎 Real-Time Availability Search

The Assistant can:

  • Check whether an experience is available for a specific date, time, and guest mix

  • Offer alternative suggestions when the requested time is unavailable

📝 Lead Capture

Your AI Assistant naturally gathers:

  • Name

  • Email

  • Phone number
    It requests this information only when necessary (e.g. to place a booking or hand off a conversation).

📤 Handover to Manager

When needed, the Assistant can escalate the conversation to a human.
This happens if:

  • The customer asks to speak to someone

  • The Assistant can’t answer a question

  • A technical issue occurs
    The manager (a user of your workspace assigned to the Assistant) receives an email redacted by the AI Assistant with a link to the conversation history and any customer details already collected

📅 Make Reservations

Your AI Assistant can:

  • Create a real-time reservation for the customer

  • Explain pricing and send the payment link

  • Hold the reservation until the expiration time (set in your widget settings)

  • Automatically release the spots if not paid in time

🔌 How to Enable the AI Assistant

  1. Create an Assistant and assign it to a widget from your CaptainBook dashboard

  2. It will learn about all products linked to that widget (may take a few minutes)

  3. If AI credits are available, the Assistant will appear on your website automatically

⚠️ Important Notes

  • AI Assistants consume AI credits with each customer interaction

  • If your credits run out, the Assistant will stop appearing

  • Enable auto-recharge to make sure your Assistant is always online

The CaptainBook AI Assistant is your always-on sales and support tool — trained on your products, connected to your live availability, and built to convert.
No setup headaches, just smarter bookings.
