Introducing Gio - Your AI Sales & Support Associate

Gio is built to do what no admin assistant can: work around the clock, learn from every interaction, and grow your business while you focus on what matters — teaching.

Drives enrollment, automatically

Give Gio a goal — promote your next cohort, boost bookings for a new workshop, or follow up with leads—and he handles the rest. He engages prospective students, helps them over the finish line, and keeps your classes full.

Learn as it works

Every conversation makes Gio smarter. He studies what you teach, what students ask, how they behave, and what makes them enroll — becoming a more intelligent rep for your business every day.

Tailored to you

Gio is trained on your Workbench data — your schedule, pricing, instructors, course content, and availability — so he can answer questions and handle bookings without setup or syncing. It’s not just AI. It’s your voice, your info, and your presence, at scale.
