The loop

One email in. A booked job and a full CRM out.

No copying into a diary. No typing into a spreadsheet. BLAM8 does it while you work.

1

Customer emails

"Can you fit me in Tuesday morning?"

2

BLAM8 drafts the reply

In your voice, quoting your real prices, availability and policy.

3

It holds the slot

So the diary can't be double-booked — for timed slots, whole days or multi-day jobs.

4

The job drops into your calendar

Outlook or Google, confirmed in the same thread.

5

The CRM writes itself

Contact, company, deal, promise and follow-up, pulled straight from the email.

You approve before anything sends. Always draft-first, by default.

The admin it takes off your plate.

Before BLAM8

  • Inbox full of "can you do Tuesday?"
  • Jobs written into a paper diary
  • Customer details retyped into a spreadsheet
  • Promises forgotten
  • Double-bookings

With BLAM8

  • Every reply drafted for you
  • Jobs booked into a live diary that can't double-book
  • CRM filled in automatically
  • Every promise tracked
  • You approve; BLAM8 sends

How it stays you

It sounds like you, because it reads your business.

Trained on your business

Your prices, policies, FAQs and knowledge base — replies quote your real numbers, never guesswork.

Your tone, not a bot's

Replies in your voice — not a generic assistant voice. Don't like a line? Thumbs-down it once and it becomes a standing rule.

Draft-only by default

Nothing sends until you hit approve. Every reply waits in the queue for your yes.

Auto-send when you're ready

Move to auto-send per mailbox, once the queue has earned your trust — and switch it back any time.

Setup is configuration, not code — connect your mailbox, teach it your business, approve from the queue. Step by step, including what BLAM8 needs access to: how onboarding works.

Why it doesn't guess

The AI writes and proposes. Your real diary decides.

Most AI tools are a chatbot bolted onto an inbox: fluent, confident, and perfectly capable of promising a Tuesday you don't have. BLAM8 is built the other way round — before anything is quoted, booked, moved or sent, it's checked against the live state of your business, not the AI's impression of it.

Prices from your price list, not thin air

Replies quote the prices and policies you uploaded. When the answer isn't in your knowledge, it says so and flags the gap for you to fill — it doesn't invent one.

A diary that can't be talked into it

A held slot is a real record in the database, checked against your actual capacity, hours and travel buffers. However confident the email sounds, a slot that's taken is taken.

Moves are checked, not guessed

Ask to move a job and the diary is re-checked first. If the new slot doesn't fit, BLAM8 says no — and offers times that genuinely do.

Every action is a proposal you confirm

Ask the built-in Concierge to reschedule a booking or chase a quote and it shows you exactly what will happen before anything does. You confirm, it executes, and every step lands in the audit log.

No one selling AI can honestly promise zero mistakes — so we wrote down how the safety actually works instead: will the AI make things up? and the full capabilities list.

Deal

Filed from this thread

Quarterly maintenance contract

Negotiating · est. £1,200/quarter

Promises — tracked from the mail

You owe them: updated quote — "by Friday"

They owe you: access details for the site

Gone quiet for two weeks? It flags the cold lead and drafts the check-in for you — one click to send.

The CRM that fills itself

Your CRM fills itself in while you work.

  • New enquiries become contacts.
  • Multiple people at one firm roll up into one company.
  • Phone numbers, postcodes and your custom fields read from the thread.
  • Quotes cluster into deals — with stage and value.
  • Every promise, from both sides, is logged.
  • Follow-ups created automatically when a lead goes quiet.

Included on Pro — and pre-filling quietly from your first email on every account, so it opens already populated when you upgrade. No setup, no import, no data entry — ever.

Safety & control

Built for a nervous compliance team.

Draft-only is the default for a reason. Your mail, bookings and customer records live in one UK-hosted database, isolated per company and yours to export any time. Access is OAuth (never a password), and nothing sends without sign-off unless you enable auto-send.

What we store, where it's hosted, and who we share it with is all public — before you sign up — on the security & data handling page and in our Privacy Policy & sub-processor list.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is BLAM8?+

The AI front desk for service businesses. On your side, it answers customer emails in your voice, books jobs into your diary, and fills your CRM automatically — reading every inbound email, drafting the reply from your real prices and policies, and holding the slot so your diary can't double-book. On your customers' side, you get a public portal page where they book, check and reschedule appointments and ask questions, answered by the same AI.

Can my customers book online themselves?+

Yes — every BLAM8 business gets a customer portal at blam8.com/c/your-business. Customers book by conversation: the AI asks what they need, checks your real diary, takes their details and holds the slot. They can also check or reschedule an existing booking with the reference code from any BLAM8 email, and ask about your services. No customer login, no separate booking tool.

Is there a mobile app?+

BLAM8 installs as an app on your phone, desktop or tablet straight from the browser (Chrome, Edge or Safari) — no app store. Once installed it opens in its own window and sends push notifications when a draft is ready for your approval or a customer books through your portal.

Does it send emails on its own?+

No. It's draft-only by default — you approve every reply before it sends. Auto-send is optional, per mailbox, and only when you choose.

Does it work with my email?+

Microsoft 365 / Outlook is open to everyone now. Gmail works the same way, and signing in is open to everyone — but connecting a Gmail inbox is invite-only while our Google verification completes. Connect a Microsoft mailbox in the meantime, or request an invite from the connect step.

Does it book into my calendar?+

Yes — Outlook and Google Calendar, with holds that can't double-book. It handles timed slots, whole days and multi-day jobs, and confirms the booking in the same email thread.

Will it use my real prices and policies?+

Yes — you upload your knowledge base and it replies using your prices, policies and FAQs. It says what it doesn't know instead of inventing.

Where is my data?+

UK data residency — your database is hosted in the UK, the app runs in the EU (Frankfurt), and data handling is built around UK GDPR. Every company is isolated with row-level security, and the full sub-processor list is public before you sign up.

How much is it?+

From £39/month — see pricing. Starter covers replies and booking; Pro adds the self-filling CRM. The free trial opens the full Pro product for 14 days or 100 handled emails, whichever comes first — no card to start.

Is there a contract?+

No contract — plans are monthly and you can cancel anytime, self-serve from inside the app.

Let BLAM8 answer, book and log every customer email — while you get on with the job.
