What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose half our weekend inquiries about kids' taekwondo trials to voicemail. Now, it books those sessions even at 9 PM on Fridays, and we've welcomed 15 new families in just two months—without hiring extra front-desk help during our busy back-to-school rush."

Mike Chen

Head Instructor, Dragon Fist Academy

Enrollments climbed 35% in the first quarter, and my coaches finally stay in the flow without phone interruptions."

Common Questions

How does the AI voice agent handle accents or martial arts-specific terms?

You're probably thinking about those diverse voices in your dojo—from kids with lisps to international black belts. We train our agents on your exact terminology, like 'kata forms' or 'ground grappling,' using custom datasets from your call logs and class descriptions. It recognizes accents through advanced speech models, ensuring clear understanding. For example, if a parent calls about 'tae kwon do' with a heavy accent, it responds accurately and books the session. We've fine-tuned this for over 20 schools, reducing miscommunications by 90%. Setup includes a quick audio sample from your team for that authentic dojo vibe.

Will this replace my front desk staff during busy hours?

Let's be honest—no AI fully replaces the human touch in a martial arts school, especially during high-energy class changes. Our agents handle routine calls like schedule checks or basic inquiries, freeing staff for in-person greetings and demos. They qualify leads first, then hand off warmly: 'Let me connect you to Coach Mike for that advanced sparring question.' One school cut phone time by 60% but saw staff engagement rise, leading to better retention. It's about augmentation, not replacement, tailored to your workflow so everyone focuses on what they do best—teaching and building community.

What if a call is about a sensitive issue, like a student's progress?

Sensitive topics, like belt promotions or injury concerns, need care. Our AI is programmed to detect context—keywords like 'struggling with forms' trigger an immediate, polite handoff: 'This sounds important; I'll get your instructor on the line right away.' It never shares personal details without permission, complying with privacy standards. We customize escalation rules based on your policies, ensuring members feel heard. In testing with a judo academy, 95% of routine calls resolved on the spot, while complex ones connected humans in under 30 seconds, maintaining trust and satisfaction.

How quickly can we get this up and running for our dojo?

Here's the thing: we move fast because we know enrollment seasons don't wait. After our discovery call, we build and deploy in 4-6 weeks, including training on your data. For a recent karate school, we launched in 28 days, starting with core features like class bookings. Post-launch, we optimize weekly based on real calls. It's not a template—every line of code fits your schedule, from morning kids' classes to evening adult sessions. You'll see value immediately, with the agent live during beta to catch those after-hours leads right away.

Is this secure for handling student information over the phone?

Security is non-negotiable in fitness and wellness, especially with kids' data in martial arts. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all calls, storing only anonymized transcripts unless you opt-in. Compliance with standards like GDPR and CCPA is built-in, with audit logs for every interaction. For instance, when booking a trial, it confirms details without retaining sensitive info long-term. A taekwondo chain we worked with passed their compliance review effortlessly, praising how it protects parent trust while enabling 24/7 service. We audit everything, so you own a system as secure as your locked dojo doors.

Can the AI integrate with our existing class management software?

Absolutely—integration is our superpower. Whether you're on Mindbody, Zen Planner, or a custom setup, we create deep, two-way API connections. The agent pulls real-time availability for things like 'open spots in beginner aikido' and pushes bookings directly, eliminating double-entry. No more syncing spreadsheets after a busy weekend. For a recent client, we linked it in under a week, resulting in zero errors on class rosters. It's custom-built to your workflow, ensuring every call flows into your system like a perfectly executed roundhouse kick—smooth and impactful.
