The AI assistant for cobblers:
pick-up reminders, 24/7 replies and Google reviews

- The AI answers common questions (turnaround, prices, opening hours) on WhatsApp without interrupting your work.
- See our Google review response examples to sharpen your local reputation.
- Flat plan from $75/month, no fee per message or per client.
Between two soles, the phone rings
A client calls to ask if their shoes are ready while you're setting a sole. Another forgets to collect and your storage piles up. Your customers are happy but never think to leave a review. The result: wasted time, a backlog of uncollected items and a Google profile below what your craft deserves.
The phone ringing during repairs — you can't answer, the client hears nothing
Items sitting uncollected week after week for lack of a timely reminder
Satisfied customers but too few Google reviews — competitors climb in local search
The problem isn't your skill — it's the lack of an assistant that handles enquiries, reminders and reviews while you work. That's exactly what Reepli.ai does.
