How do I build an AI booking chat with Next.js and Groq?

Grab Next.js App Router, Supabase for DB, Groq for parsing. Extract JSON from user text, state machine validates slots. Deploy standalone on VPS.

Does Groq handle German for salon bookings?

Yes, Llama 3.3 70B parses slang like "Do 14h Schnitt" in 200ms. Cheaper, faster than GPT-4.

Can AI booking reduce salon no-shows?

Indirectly via SMS reminders — proven 10-20% drop. Chat just eases intake; reminders seal ROI.
