How AI and smart automation help small businesses save time, book more clients, and stay ahead—without needing to be “tech people.” Let’s be real—if you’ve heard about AI, chatbots, or automation lately, you’ve probably thought one of two things: “That sounds cool, but I don’t really get how it would help me.” “That’s probably something for big companies, not small businesses like mine.” That’s where Alera Nexus comes in. We bridge that gap—bringing the power of AI and smart systems to everyday businesses in a way that’s simple, affordable, and tailored to how you actually work.

👋 So... What Do We Actually Do?

We build digital tools that do the things your team doesn’t have time to do—and do them automatically.

Here’s what that looks like in real life:

✅ For a salon:

A client visits your website at 9:30 PM. Our chatbot answers her questions, checks your availability, and lets her book a haircut—without you ever lifting a finger.

✅ For a dentist:

A lead fills out a form. Our system screens the request, routes it to the right contact, and sends the patient an automated follow-up—no front desk chase-downs needed.

✅ For a real estate agent:

A potential seller clicks your ad. Instead of just filling out a form, they enter a full conversation with your AI assistant, who collects property details, screens for urgency, and emails you only if it’s a serious lead.

✅ For a gym:

Members get access to an AI-powered personal trainer and nutritionist inside your site or app. They can ask for a 45-minute machine-only workout, factor in an elbow injury, or request a meal plan based on their dietary restrictions. You offer it as an add-on subscription ($15 trainer / $15 nutrition / $25 for both)—it runs 24/7, and it never gets tired.

✅ For an HVAC contractor:

A customer needs urgent help. The chatbot asks the right triage questions, identifies the job type (AC repair, install, etc.), and books the appointment—or escalates the emergency directly to your on-call tech.

✅ For a plastic surgeon:

A prospective patient wants to know the difference between two procedures. The chatbot walks them through pre-consult basics, screening questions, and next steps. After surgery, the same assistant answers common aftercare questions at 2:00 AM—when the surgeon is asleep, the system still delivers clarity and care.

🧠 But Isn’t That Just... Live Chat?

No. Most chat tools (like Tidio, Drift, or Facebook Messenger bots) are glorified message boxes. Ours are custom-trained smart assistants built to understand your business—how you talk, what you offer, what matters to your clients.

Our bots can:

  • Qualify leads (only send you serious ones)

  • Book appointments directly into your calendar

  • Answer common questions

  • Route conversations by service, urgency, or location

  • Collect Google reviews

  • Trigger email/text automations

And unlike a front desk employee, they’re never sick, never off the clock, and never forget to follow up.

💡 What Else Do We Automate?

We also build simple automation systems that quietly run in the background:

  • Text/email reminders for clients

  • Follow-ups for missed calls or inquiries

  • Review request flows

  • Low inventory alerts (for salons, spas, or product-based businesses)

  • Internal task bots trained to help your staff stay organized

And if your business has a unique workflow? We build around it.

✍️ What About Marketing?

We also help your business get found online by creating:

  • Search-optimized blog posts and FAQs

  • Industry insight articles that position you as an expert

  • Content that boosts traffic and trust—without needing to write a single word yourself

If your website just sits there looking pretty, we’ll make it start pulling its weight.

🛠️ What You Don’t Need

To work with us, you don’t need:

  • Tech skills

  • Big budgets

  • A team of marketers

  • A new POS or software stack

We build around what you already use—whether that’s Clover, Calendly, Google Calendar, or even just a spreadsheet.

🚀 What You Get

  • A website that works

  • A smart assistant that books, screens, and follows up

  • Automations that save you hours every week

  • Content that drives more traffic to your site

  • A partner that keeps things running and improves them over time


🧩 Who We Work With

We help small, service-based businesses that are ready to modernize—without overcomplicating.

Most of our clients are in:

  • Salons, med spas, and gyms

  • Law, real estate, and healthcare

  • Trades like HVAC, plumbing, and contracting

But if you rely on leads or appointments, we can help.

💬 Still Not Sure?

You’re not alone. Most of our clients came in saying, “I’m not very tech-savvy, I just need something that works.”

That’s exactly who we build for.
