Scout books them. Qualifyr Scout is the booking agent that lives in your Instagram DMs and Facebook Messenger. It qualifies the lead, proposes real open slots, and collects the deposit before the booking is confirmed. For solo pros and small service businesses. Not a chatbot: an agent that actually books. Private beta — 50 founding spots. Free during private beta. No credit card required. ### A chatbot answers. Scout books. - A typical chatbot answers FAQs — Scout asks the qualifying questions for your profession. - A typical chatbot sends a link and hopes — Scout checks your availability and proposes real slots. - A typical chatbot can't take payment — Scout collects the deposit before the booking is confirmed. - A typical chatbot forgets the client — Scout remembers returning clients by handle. - A typical chatbot sounds scripted — Scout replies in your voice, in the client's language. - A typical chatbot acts on its own — Scout hands off and asks approval on important actions. ### How it works 1. A client messages you. Scout replies in your voice and asks the right questions for your profession — placement, size, reference, budget, or whatever fits your craft. 2. Scout offers real slots. It reads the availability you set in Qualifyr, holds the time, and reschedules in the same thread when the first choice is taken. 3. Deposit paid, booking confirmed. You get the summary and show up. No chasing, no no-shows, no back-and-forth. ### What Scout handles Live in private beta: lead qualification, calendar-aware booking, Stripe deposit collection, voice match, client memory, approval cards.

No. A chatbot answers questions. Scout qualifies the lead, checks your availability, proposes real slots, and collects the deposit before the booking is confirmed. ### What is Qualifyr Scout? Qualifyr Scout is a booking agent for solo pros and small service businesses. It lives in your Instagram DMs and Facebook Messenger, qualifies inbound inquiries, proposes real open slots from your calendar, and collects a Stripe deposit before the booking is confirmed — so you stop spending hours in your inbox and start showing up to confirmed work. ### Will this feel spammy to clients? No. Scout replies to inbound messages only, follows the platform's messaging windows, and matches your voice. Clients see a normal thread in your brand's voice, not a marketing bot. ### Will Meta ban me for this? Scout is built to follow Meta's messaging rules: it replies only to inbound messages within the 24-hour customer-service window and never sends unsolicited DMs. You remain responsible for your account's compliance with Meta's policies. ### What if the AI gets it wrong? Important actions show you an approval card first, Scout hands off when unsure, and you can take over any conversation at any time. ### Do clients know it's an AI? Yes. Scout introduces itself as your assistant, and it never claims to be human when a client asks. ### Is my client data safe? Your data stays in your workspace, separate from other businesses. Deposits go straight to your own Stripe account. Client messages are processed by an AI model provider to write replies. We don't use your conversations to train shared models. See the Privacy Policy for retention and deletion. ### I already use a booking tool. Scout reads the availability you set in Qualifyr. If you use another booking tool, mention it during onboarding and we'll confirm how Scout fits alongside it. ### Does it speak my language? Scout replies in your voice. Languages are confirmed during onboarding. ### How does the Stripe deposit work? Scout sends the client a Stripe deposit link in the same thread as soon as the slot is agreed. The client pays; you get paid straight to your connected Stripe account. Stripe's standard processing fees apply — Qualifyr takes 0% on deposits. The slot is held only when the deposit lands, so no-shows drop sharply. ### Which channels does it work on? Instagram DMs and Facebook Messenger during private beta. WhatsApp, SMS, and TikTok are planned but not supported yet. ### What if I want to pause it? One click in Settings pauses Scout. Clients still get the auto-reply you wrote. Resume any time. ### What does beta cost? Free during private beta. Founding price locked in for beta members. No credit card required to join the waitlist. ### Which professions is it built for? Solo pros and small service businesses that take appointments, deposits, or DM inquiries. During private beta we tune playbooks for tattoo, barber, hair, wedding photography, life and business coaching. Playbooks for esthetician, lash, nail, massage, personal training, fitness and sports coaching, videography, event planning, UX/UI design, and tutoring are in active development. Health, medical, legal, and financial professions come later, once compliance review is complete. ## Why — Why service pros use Qualifyr Many solo pros lose hours a day to DMs. Multiply those hours by your hourly rate. That's what you're losing. Deposits reduce no-shows — Scout collects the deposit before the booking is confirmed. You stay in your craft. No platform cut on deposits during beta — deposits go straight to your connected Stripe account; Stripe's standard processing fees apply. Privacy by default. You can override — by default, important actions show an approval card first. ## Verticals — playbooks Launch verticals: Tattoo Studio, Barber Shop, Hair Salon, Wedding Photographer, Life Coach, Business Coach.
