What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend inquiries to voicemail during busy Saturday flows. Now, it books aerial yoga spots at 3 AM and even suggests beginner sun salutation sequences. Our sign-ups jumped 25% in the first month – it's like having an extra staffer who never sleeps and understands our vinyasa vibe."
Sarah Linden
Studio Owner, Lotus Flow Yoga Studio in Seattle
"I was skeptical about AI understanding the spiritual side of yoga, but this thing nails it with personalized ujjayi breath guidance. Members love the quick tips on breathwork during off-hours, and our retention went up 22% because no one feels ignored anymore. Saved us from hiring a night receptionist during our peak monsoon retreat season."
Raj Patel
Lead Vinyasa Instructor, Harmony Yoga Collective in Austin
"During our busy summer solstice festival season, the chatbot handled 200+ questions on restorative yoga workshops without missing a beat. It integrated perfectly with our Mindbody scheduling app, and we saw an 18% revenue bump from last-minute bookings in just two weeks. Game-changer for small studios like ours juggling wellness events."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI chatbot handle the unique, personal nature of yoga inquiries?
Great question – yoga isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is our approach. We train the AI on your studio's specific content, like detailed guides for each class type and common member scenarios. For instance, if someone asks about easing into inversions with a wrist injury, it draws from your resources to suggest safe alternatives and props, then offers to connect them with an instructor. It's empathetic, not robotic, and we've fine-tuned it to use warm language that aligns with your welcoming vibe. Over time, it learns from interactions to get even better, ensuring members feel seen and supported around the clock. This personalization has helped similar studios cut response times from hours to seconds, keeping that community spirit alive.
Will this integrate with my existing yoga studio software like Mindbody?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty. We don't just slap on a chatbot; we build deep, two-way connections so it pulls live data from Mindbody – think instant class availability or membership status checks. No more manual updates or broken links. For a recent yoga client, we synced it in under two weeks, allowing the AI to book spots directly and even send confirmation flows. If you're using something else like Glo or Vagaro, we'll customize accordingly. The result? A unified system that feels like an extension of your operations, reducing admin headaches and letting you focus on the mat. You're probably thinking about data security – we prioritize that with encrypted APIs every step of the way.
What if a query is too complex for the AI to handle alone?
We're all about balance, just like a good yoga practice. The chatbot is smart enough for 80-90% of routine questions – scheduling, basic pose advice, or retreat info – but when it detects something deeper, like personalized injury consultations or philosophical discussions on yoga philosophy, it seamlessly hands off to your team. It does this by summarizing the chat history and queuing a notification, so your instructor picks up right where the AI left off. One studio we worked with saw handoffs happen only 12% of the time, freeing up hours while maintaining that human touch. We even include training for your staff to monitor and jump in effortlessly, ensuring no member feels adrift.
How much does a custom AI chatbot cost for a small yoga studio?
Costs vary based on your studio's size and needs, but let's break it down honestly. For a typical small studio with 100-200 members, expect a one-time build fee starting around $8,000-$15,000, covering discovery, custom development, and integration. No ongoing subscriptions – you own it outright, with optional maintenance at $500/month if needed. This pays off quickly: one client recouped the investment in three months through 40 extra bookings. Factors like adding voice features or multi-location support can adjust the price, but we always start with a free consultation to tailor a quote to your workflow. Think of it as investing in a digital receptionist who works tirelessly to grow your sangha.
Can the chatbot help with retention in my yoga community?
Retention is the heartbeat of any yoga studio, and yes, our AI is designed for it. Beyond answering questions, it proactively engages – sending gentle reminders for lapsed members about upcoming restorative classes or personalized tips based on their past attendance, like 'Try our gentle flow after your last vinyasa session.' We've seen studios boost renewal rates by 15-20% because members feel continually valued, not just during sign-up. It tracks engagement patterns too, flagging at-risk members for your team to nurture. Here's the thing: in wellness, loyalty comes from consistent care, and this AI provides that 24/7 without burnout. One partner noted their community events attendance doubled after implementing targeted nudges.
How long does it take to get the AI chatbot up and running?
From our initial chat to launch, it's typically 4-6 weeks for a custom build – faster than you'd think for something so tailored. Week one is discovery: we map your classes, FAQs, and integrations. Weeks two to four involve development and testing with real yoga scenarios, like handling peak-hour traffic for meditation sessions. The final week is deployment and tweaks based on your feedback. We've launched for busy studios mid-season without disrupting flows. Post-launch, it's immediately operational, capturing those after-hours inquiries right away. If you're scaling up teacher trainings or events, we can accelerate to three weeks. The key? Our builder mindset gets it production-ready quickly, so you see benefits like increased bookings sooner.
