How do I build an AI booking system like term-in with Groq?

Grab Next.js, wire Groq for parsing, Supabase for slots. State machine post-parse. Check the code snippet above — swap models easy.

Does Groq handle German salon booking lingo well?

Surprisingly yes with Llama 3.3 70B. Slang like 'Do 14h' parses fine, 200ms responses. Cheaper, faster than OpenAI.

Can SMS reminders really cut salon no-shows?

Industry data says big time — 10-20% drop common. €40 tickets mean quick ROI on Twilio costs.
