🧠 Meet Brain AI—your studio’s memory. 

Now you can teach your AI exactly how to talk to clients: the right tone, what to say (and not say), and the details that make your studio unique. Upload your PDFs, snippets, or Google Docs once, and every reply stays consistent—even across multiple locations.

💬 Meet Buddy, your 24/7 sales AI agent.

He books classes, cancels when needed, upgrades memberships, and collects payments—right inside your website chat. Visitors act on the spot, and you wake up to more bookings! 

🏠 Your new Home dashboard is now your one-stop view of everything happening in your studio. 

First visits, upcoming birthdays, memberships about to expire, plus your tasks, check-ins, and staff updates—all in one place. 

Our old Bring a Buddy feature is being replaced with two smarter options:

• Group Bookings → Credit-based or paid bookings that let customers reserve multiple spots. Get started now

• Guest Passes → A free, plan-based benefit for members to invite friends. Read more here

Set percentage share on payouts for classes and appointment bookings in payroll templates. This is great for incentivizing staff performance with the actual revenue earned per booking.  

For payroll purposes, you can now also define the value of one credit in unlimited credit memberships.

Steps to set credit value for payroll for unlimited type memberships:

• Go to Setup → Pricing Options

• Select and edit your unlimited membership plan

• Scroll to "Section 2: Expiry and Credits"

• Under “Unlimited” credits, enter the value for: “For payroll and refunds, 1 credit equals ____”

You can enable Quick Pay for selected classes, allowing clients—even non-members—to book and pay instantly with minimal friction.

• This is ideal for trial or one-time purchases where no membership is held.

• Quick-Pay is fully supported on your client app once activated.

• You can also configure exclusive discounts specifically for Quick-Pay transactions.
