Businesses that switched to AI
“We were missing so many Instagram DMs — someone would message at 9 PM asking about availability and by the time we replied the next morning, they'd already booked somewhere else. OpenTulpa fixed that completely. Now we wake up to confirmed bookings.”

Hair Salon
“Our front desk was spending 45 minutes per day just on appointment-related calls. The AI handles all of it now — insurance questions, scheduling, reminders — and our no-show rate dropped noticeably within the first month.”
Placeholder — Clinic Manager
Dental Clinic
“The quote automation alone paid for the subscription in the first week. We used to lose leads because we couldn't respond to quote requests fast enough. Now the AI handles them instantly and we get the job.”
