Ask Teddy is Teddy's built-in digital assistant that you operate by text or voice. You tell it what you need in plain English and it handles the task across your calendar, clients, reports, and payroll. It works like a front-desk assistant you can hand tasks to.

You can ask Teddy to book, reschedule, and cancel appointments; pull revenue and other reports; run payroll; check what you owe each groomer in commission; find the soonest opening for a client; identify clients you haven't seen in a while; and optimize your mobile grooming route. In short, anything you'd hand off to a front desk.
