Done-for-you setup

From kickoff to live in days, not months.

You don't configure software. We build Vela around your business, you review her answers, and we launch. Then we keep her current.

Kickoff call

20 minutes on your services, prices, booking process, busy times and the questions you're tired of answering.

Knowledge base

We draft Vela's answers from your website and documents, typically 50 to 120 of them, plus rules for dates, prices and handoffs.

Connect

Chat goes on your site with one line of code. Your phone forwards to Vela, or we set up a new local number.

Review and launch

You call her, chat with her, and approve. Then every conversation is emailed to you and updates are same day.

What you need

Almost nothing.

  • Your website login, or let us know who manages it
  • Access to your phone settings to turn on forwarding (we walk you through it)
  • Your price list, policies and FAQs, in any format
  • 20 minutes for the kickoff and 15 to review

Changing something later?

New price, new class, holiday hours? Email us and Vela knows it the same day, on both chat and phone.

FAQ

Setup FAQ

How does setup work?

Setup is done for you. We start with a 30-minute call, then we write Vela's knowledge base from your website, pricing and policies, install the chat bubble on your site with one line of code, and connect your phone line. You review everything before it goes live. Most businesses are live within a few days.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. We handle the setup. If you can forward a phone number and paste one line of code (or let us do it), you're set.

Is there a contract?

No. Both plans are month to month and you can cancel anytime.

Can I change what Vela says?

Anytime. Send us the change and we update both chat and phone, usually the same day. Prices, dates, policies, new FAQs, all of it.

What websites does the chat work on?

Any website you can add a line of code to: Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, or a custom site. We can install it for you.

Give your business a front desk that never sleeps.
