ManicBot — AI booking assistant for nail & beauty salons
ManicBot answers clients, books appointments, sends reminders and wins clients back — 24/7, across Telegram, Instagram Direct, WhatsApp Business and an embeddable web widget. One AI receptionist, four languages (Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, English), 0% booking commission, from 45 PLN/month. Operating in Poland and the EU.
What it is
ManicBot is a multi-tenant booking SaaS for nail salons and independent nail masters. A salon connects its existing channels and the AI receptionist handles the whole booking flow — slot selection, service catalog, master choice, confirmation and reminders — without the owner lifting a finger. Two-way Google Calendar sync keeps personal events and client bookings from colliding.

Frequently asked questions
What does ManicBot cost?
45 PLN/mo (Start, 1 master), 60 PLN/mo (Pro, 5 masters + AI + Google Calendar), 90 PLN/mo (Max, unlimited). 14-day free trial. No per-booking commission. No transaction fees.
Which booking channels does ManicBot support?
Telegram bot, Instagram Direct, WhatsApp Business, and an embeddable web chat widget. All four feed into one unified AI receptionist with a shared conversation history.
Does ManicBot work for independent nail masters or only for salons?
Both. Independent masters create a personal tenant on the same 45/60/90 PLN plans and manage their own services and schedule without belonging to a salon.
What languages does the AI receptionist speak?
Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and English. The bot detects the client language from the first message and replies in the same language.
Does ManicBot take a commission on bookings?
No. The price is the monthly subscription only. No per-booking fee, no per-message fee, no marketplace cut — the booking flows through your own Telegram/Instagram/WhatsApp account, not through ManicBot.
How does the Google Calendar integration work?
Two-way sync. Busy blocks from the connected Google Calendar are honoured when the AI offers slots, and every confirmed appointment is mirrored back as a Calendar event the master can edit or move.
