FAQ
Common questions about the AI agent
What is Talo, and how does it run my grooming business?
Talo is Talopet's AI assistant for pet grooming businesses. You text Talo in plain English — 'book Daisy for a full groom Thursday at 2', 'who has a rabies expiring this week?', 'send a confirmation to everyone with a 5pm pickup' — and Talo executes the task against your live business data. Talo handles 35+ operations across 12 categories: booking, client and pet management, staff scheduling, two-way messaging, vaccine tracking, reporting, marketing campaigns, and more. You don't open menus, build workflows, or learn a new system. You just tell Talo what you need.
Do I need to learn the software or train Talo to use it?
No learning curve. Talo speaks plain English, so if you can describe what you want, Talo can do it. There is no command syntax, no menu hierarchy, no template builder, and no training videos to watch. Owners use Talo on day one. Brand-new front-desk hires use Talo on their first shift. The hardest part is remembering you can just ask.
How does Talo actually know my business?
Talo is wired directly into your Talopet account — your calendar, clients, pets, services, staff, vaccine records, payment history, messaging threads — in real time. No imports, no spreadsheets to upload, no scripts to write. The moment your account is set up, Talo already knows your business. When you ask Talo something, it is reading and writing the same data you see in the dashboard, not a stale copy.
Is Talo safe with client and business data?
Yes. Talo respects every permission rule that already exists in your dashboard. Destructive actions — cancellations, refunds, outbound bulk messages — require your explicit approval before they execute. Role-based access carries over: a groomer using Talo only sees their own schedule and clients; a manager sees everything. Talo never invents data; if it does not know an answer, it tells you and asks.
How is Talo different from ChatGPT or a generic AI chatbot?
ChatGPT can talk about pet grooming. Talo runs your pet grooming business. The difference is access. Generic chatbots have no link to your calendar, clients, or services. Talo is purpose-built for pet grooming and connected directly to your operations. When you ask Talo to book Max for Thursday at 2, it actually creates the appointment, checks staff availability, holds the slot, and queues the client confirmation. ChatGPT can only describe how that would happen — Talo does it.
Is Talo an add-on, or is it included in my Talopet plan?
Talo is included in every Talopet plan at no extra cost. There are no per-message fees, no premium tiers, no token meters, and no usage limits. Talo is the platform, not a sidecar. If you have a Talopet account, you have Talo.
Can my whole team use Talo, or just owners?
Every team member can use Talo. Each person sees and acts only on what their role allows — the same permission rules from the dashboard apply automatically. Front-desk hires get productive in their first shift. Groomers can check their schedule, mark services complete, look up vaccine status, and text clients without opening the app. Managers can run reports, reschedule the day, and message clients in bulk. One assistant, every role.
