Hi! Do you have two seats in a beginner wheel class this Saturday? It would be me and my daughter.

Hi Jenna! Saturday's beginner wheel class has seats at 10 AM and 1 PM. The 3:30 PM session is already full. Which one suits you?10 AM1 PMAnother date

1 PM. She's 9, is that ok? And do we bring anything?

Nine is great, kids join our wheel classes from age 7 when they come with an adult. Clay, tools, aprons and glazing are all included, so just wear clothes that can get a bit muddy.

Sounds fun. Honestly $45 each feels like a lot for a first try though.

Totally fair. The $45 covers two hours at the wheel with an instructor, all the clay, and firing two finished pieces each. A $20 deposit holds both seats, and the rest is paid when you arrive.

Paid! When can we take our pots home?

Pieces go through the kiln and are ready for pickup about two weeks after class. Ask here anytime and we'll tell you if yours are on the shelf.

Perfect. If she loves it, is there a longer course for kids?

Yes! A six week kids wheel course starts in November on Saturday mornings. I've let the studio know she's interested, and you can ask me here anytime to save her a seat.

THE PROBLEMS

Empty seats, half answered questions and students who drift away

Running a studio means teaching with clay on your hands or a room full of dancers in front of you. The messages keep coming anyway, and these are the ones that cost you the most.

01

Questions arrive while you're teaching

You're in the middle of a two hour class, helping someone center their clay. Your phone fills up with people asking about Thursday's painting night, the price of a kids class and whether there's parking. By the time class ends, half of them have signed up somewhere else.

How ZMODE fixes it

ZMODE answers on WhatsApp and your website chat while you teach, with your class list, prices, dates and open seats, and books the student right there, so nobody waits for you to wash your hands.

02

Seats held by people who never show

Someone grabs the last two spots in a sold out workshop and doesn't come. The materials are prepped, the wheel sits empty, and the person who asked yesterday already gave up.

How ZMODE fixes it

ZMODE takes a deposit to hold each seat, so a booked seat belongs to someone who plans to come. When a class fills, it offers the next date instead of letting the student walk away.

03

Private party requests that go back and forth for days

A birthday party or a team event is good money, but every request comes with ten questions: how many people, which date, can kids join, is the paint included, how much to hold the room. The thread drags on and the date gets taken.

How ZMODE fixes it

ZMODE asks the group size and preferred date, explains what the party includes, offers the times that work and collects the deposit to hold the room. You get a WhatsApp note once it's confirmed.

04

Parents asking about ages and what to bring

Is my 6 year old old enough? Does he need his own brushes? Should she wear dance shoes? Parents ask the same things before every term, and each answer costs you a few minutes you don't have.

How ZMODE fixes it

Tell ZMODE your age rules and what each class includes once. It answers parents with the right details every time and suggests the class that fits their child's age.

05

A new course opens and past students never hear about it

You finally schedule the next six week course, and the people who loved the last one have no idea. Getting the word out means scrolling old chats and writing to each person by hand.

How ZMODE fixes it

ZMODE runs a campaign to past students when a new course opens, tells them the dates and the price, and books the ones who reply yes, deposit included.

HOW IT WORKS

How an AI assistant works in an art or class studio

Nothing to install and no script to write. You talk to ZMODE the way you'd brief a front desk helper, and four things keep working from then on.

01 / 04

Describe your studio once

Tell ZMODE what you teach, how many seats each class has, what's included and when you ask for a deposit. From that one conversation it can answer students and fill your schedule.

ZMODE

We teach wheel throwing and painting nights. 8 seats per class, materials included. $20 deposit per seat.

Got it. Your classes, seat limits and deposit are set. I'll answer students in your tone and book them into open seats.

02 / 04

Say a rule one time

Some things are never up for debate in your studio. State the rule once and ZMODE keeps it in every chat, then offers what does fit.

ZMODE

Kids classes are only for ages 7 and up.

LESSON SAVEDKids classes: ages 7 and up only

Can my 5 year old join the Saturday kids class?

Our kids classes start at age 7. A parent and child clay session on Sundays welcomes ages 4 and up. Want me to save you two seats?

03 / 04

Students and parents, one inbox

Some people write on WhatsApp, others use the chat on your website. ZMODE replies to all of them and keeps every conversation together, so you can catch up between classes in one place.

Fill a new course from past students

When you open a new course or a workshop has empty seats, ZMODE writes to students who took a class with you before and books the ones who want in.

WHAT IT DOES

What ZMODE does for your studio

One assistant for student questions, seat bookings and bringing people back, made for studios where the owner is also the teacher.

  • Answers WhatsApp and website chat

    Replies with your class list, dates, prices, age rules and open seats, in English or Spanish, and remembers each student's past chats and classes.

  • Holds seats with deposits

    Sends a deposit link for a class seat, a course or a private event and confirms it once paid, so the seats you prep for are seats people show up to.

  • Gives you a booking page

    Students pick a class, a date and how many seats they need on your own booking page, any time of day, and it lands on your schedule.

  • Keeps you posted on WhatsApp

    New bookings, paid deposits, party requests and changes arrive as short WhatsApp notes you can read between classes.

  • Follows your studio rules

    Say it once, like kids classes start at age 7 or parties need a deposit, and ZMODE applies it in every chat and suggests the option that fits.

  • Brings past students back

    When a new course opens or a workshop has empty seats, it writes to students who came before and books the ones who say yes.

Available features depend on your setup, supported channels and location.

QUESTIONS

Questions studio owners ask

What does an AI assistant do for an art or class studio?

It takes care of the conversations around your classes. ZMODE answers students and parents on WhatsApp and website chat, books seats, takes deposits and invites past students back when a new course opens, all from your own class list and schedule. You keep teaching.

Can it handle seat limits for each class?

Yes. Tell ZMODE how many seats a class or workshop has and it only books the seats that are open. When a class is full, it offers the next date that still has room, so you don't lose the student.

Can it book private parties and group events?

Yes. ZMODE asks for the group size, the date and any ages involved, explains what's included and sends a deposit link to hold the studio. You get a WhatsApp note with the details once the deposit is paid.

What about kids classes and age rules?

Tell ZMODE your rule once, for example kids classes only for ages 7 and up, and it saves it as a lesson. It explains the rule kindly to parents and suggests a class that does fit their child.

Can it fill a new six week course?

Yes. When you schedule a new course, ZMODE runs a campaign to students who took a class with you before, shares the dates and the price, and books the ones who want a seat, deposit included.

Does it answer in Spanish?

Yes. ZMODE replies in English or Spanish, depending on how the student writes, using the same class details and rules. Available features depend on your setup, supported channels and location.
