Your website might look great - but if it's not actively engaging visitors, it's just an online brochure. A LiveChat widget with AI can change that, turning casual browsers into booked clients at any hour of the day. In this article, we'll show you how beauty salons are using AI-powered chat to answer questions instantly, capture contact details, and fill calendars - even while they sleep.
