German number and 200 minutes included. Answers while you're behind the camera, asks passport or portrait and books straight into your calendar. An AI phone assistant for photographers answers calls while you're behind the camera: it asks passport or portrait, checks free slots live and books straight into your calendar. At terminio.ai it is part of Pro Voice, with a German phone number and 200 call minutes, no setup fee, set up in about ten minutes. ## One call mid-shoot. And what comes of it. - Booked through the link or by phone: one studio calendar. Whoever arrives from Instagram in the evening books through your link: pick a session, pick a time, done, no account. Whoever would rather call gets the assistant. Both land in the same calendar in the same minute, with no double booking. - Prices on the phone. A deposit on the session. If someone asks what application headshots cost, the assistant tells them, or says it depends on the work. You decide. The deposit you set per service: on the Saturday family session through Stripe, nothing on passport photos. - Picks up while the phone stays in the camera bag. Set a call forward, done. When you're mid-shoot, out on location or the studio is closed, the assistant answers with your studio's name and your greeting. It asks passport, headshots or portrait, checks free slots live, books and summarises every call in the app. - Booked by phone, confirmed on WhatsApp. A session the assistant books runs like any other booking: WhatsApp confirmation straight away, a reminder before the session, from your number, in your words. What to wear, what to bring, where to park: all in there, without you typing. - It knows when the studio is free. The assistant looks at your real studio calendar: location shoots, editing time, the duration of every service. A family session only gets a slot where ninety minutes are free. Wedding enquiries it doesn't book through. They land with you as a call-back. - Every call in the app. On the watch too. After every call you get a push message with a summary, the outcome and the duration. Call-backs land in their own list. Web app at the desk, app on iPhone and Android, smartwatch on the wrist, on location too: the same picture everywhere. ## Common questions **What happens if the phone rings in the middle of a shoot?** You don't pick up, and after the ring the AI phone assistant takes over. It answers with your studio's name and your greeting, asks passport, headshots or portrait, checks free slots and books. The summary is in the app afterwards. You read it once the camera is back in the bag. **Does it know a family session takes longer than passport photos?** Yes. It knows your services with duration and price, exactly as you set them up. If someone asks for a family session, it only offers times where ninety minutes are free. Passport photos get their fifteen minutes. It quotes prices if you allow that, or says it depends on the work. **What does it do with a wedding enquiry?** It doesn't just book that through. It takes the date, the venue and what the couple has in mind and leaves you a call-back in the app. You ring back once you can put the camera down and talk the package through yourself. Nothing gets lost, not even on a Saturday. **Do I need a new phone number for the assistant?** No. You get a German phone number from terminio, and your existing number stays on your website and on Google. You only set a call forward, for example for when nobody picks up. In the Pro Voice plan the number is included. **Does it pick up while I'm out on location?** Yes. The AI phone assistant for photographers has no opening hours and no fixed address. Whether you're in the studio, at a wedding or editing late at night: you decide when it takes over, always, only when nobody picks up, or only outside opening hours. Then it knows the studio is closed and doesn't refer callers to you. **Can someone move or cancel their session over the phone?** Yes. Reschedules and cancellations the assistant handles straight in your calendar, and the freed slot is back on the booking page at once. If everything is full, it notes the request as a call-back. Requests it shouldn't handle it passes on to you, or takes name, number and reason. **What does an AI phone assistant cost?** On the market, between roughly 30 € and several hundred euros a month, depending on whether billing is per minute, per call or a flat rate, and whether the phone number costs extra. At terminio.ai the AI phone assistant for photographers is included in Pro Voice: 129.99 € a month, German number and 200 call minutes included, every further minute 0.25 €. No setup fee, cancel monthly. **Is there a free AI phone assistant?** A permanently free one hardly exists, because the phone number and the call minutes cost the provider money. What does exist is a free start: at terminio.ai you begin on Free without payment details, with a booking page, a calendar and the app. The AI phone assistant for photographers comes with Pro Voice, with no setup fee and no minimum term, cancel monthly. **What can an AI phone assistant do?** It answers while you're behind the camera, greets callers with the name of your business and deals with the request: it asks passport or portrait, checks free slots in your calendar, books, moves and cancels. It knows how long a portrait shoot takes and only offers gaps that fit. Anything it shouldn't handle it forwards to you or takes down as a callback with name, number and reason. After every call there is a summary in the app. --- terminio.ai is online appointment booking for small businesses with WhatsApp reminders and an AI phone assistant, from €0 a month, hosted in the EU.
