Boka.
English · Bahasa Malaysia · 中文 · Cantonese

Your business never misses a call again.

Boka answers your phone and WhatsApp in English, Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin, books the appointment or table straight into your calendar, and remembers every customer who calls. It works at 9pm, on Sundays, and while your team is already with someone.

Restaurants · Cafés · Salons · Clinics · Workshops · Studios — anywhere customers ring to book.

  • Keep your existing number
  • Live the same afternoon
  • Data kept in the region

What you get

One assistant, three jobs.

01

Answers the phone

Every inbound call, in four languages, booked into your calendar before the caller hangs up. On the number your customers already have.

02

Answers WhatsApp

The same assistant with the same memory, on the number people already message you. Enquiries, bookings and confirmations in chat.

03

Chases what you never get round to

Reminders the day before, no-show win-backs, DuitNow requests. The follow-up work a front desk never has time for after a full day of walk-ins.

The cost of a ring-out

Every missed call is a customer who books somewhere else.

Setup

Live by the end of the afternoon.

  1. 01

    Forward your number

    Keep the number your customers already know. Forward it when you're busy, after hours, or all the time — your choice.

  2. 02

    Connect your calendar

    Boka reads your real availability before it offers anyone a time, so it can't double-book you.

  3. 03

    Tell it how you work

    Opening hours, what you offer, what to say about pricing, when to take a message instead. Plain English, no scripts to write.

The unfair advantage

Things a front desk can't do.

Never busy, never at lunch

Picks up on the second ring whether it's one caller or fifty at once, on a Sunday, on Raya, at 3am. Your best receptionist can hold one line at a time.

Books straight into your calendar

Checks real availability before offering a time, confirms it back to the caller, and writes it into Google Calendar before they hang up.

Speaks the way your customers do

English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and Cantonese — including switching mid-sentence, which is how people actually talk here.

Remembers your three-thousandth caller

Greets returning customers by name with their last visit already in mind. No human remembers that far back, and no handover note survives it.

Answers WhatsApp on the same number

The same assistant with the same memory, on the channel most of your customers already prefer. No second inbox for your team to watch.

Shows you every call

Every conversation transcribed and summarised — including the ones your team takes over. You see your whole front line instead of it vanishing into the air.

Everything it does

The whole list, including what isn't ready.

Anything marked planned is on the roadmap and not built yet. We'd rather you found that out here than three weeks into a pilot.

Trust and compliance

Built to clear a clinic's compliance review, which is the hardest room.

  • Automatic recording deletion on a schedule
  • Your data is never used to train public models
Why local matters

Built for Malaysia, not adapted for it.

Manglish is the default, not an edge case

Tools trained on American English fumble a caller who opens in English, switches to Malay for the time, and drops in a Cantonese word on the way out. That's just how a Tuesday sounds here.

PDPA 2010 is designed in, not bolted on

Recordings encrypted at rest and kept in Malaysia or Singapore. Consent announced at the top of every call. Built to survive a clinic's compliance review, because that's the hardest room.

Built in Kuala Lumpur

Not a US product with a local reseller. Same timezone as your front desk, so when something breaks at 9am on a Monday there's someone awake to answer for it.

The rails Malaysians actually use

Google Calendar, WhatsApp Business, DuitNow and FPX. Not PayNow — that's Singapore, and a vendor who offers it here has never looked at the market.

Ninety seconds

Listen in on a real call.

A customer rings after hours, switches to Malay halfway through, and walks away with a booking. Nobody at the business touched a thing.

Pricing

Cheaper than the calls you're losing.

A front-desk hire runs RM2,000–2,700 a month, closer to RM3,100 once EPF and SOCSO are in. Boka starts at RM40 a day — no annual leave, no MC, no EPF, no handover notes, no notice period.

Before you ask

The questions everyone asks.

What happens when it can't answer something?

It stops rather than guesses. Anything outside what you've told it — a complaint, a question only your team can answer, an unusual request — either goes through to a person, if you've switched transfers on and someone is there, or becomes a message in the caller's own words. It never invents a price, a policy or an opening time.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You keep the number your customers already know and forward it to Boka — all the time, after hours, or only when your line is busy. Nothing to reprint, nothing to re-advertise. Forwarding takes a few minutes with your telco.

Which languages does it handle?

English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and Cantonese, including callers who switch mid-sentence. Before you commit, we'll set it up on your number so you can ring it and hear how it sounds on the languages your customers actually use.

Can it double-book me?

It reads your live calendar before offering any time, so it can only offer what's genuinely free, and it writes the booking back immediately. If your calendar is unreachable it takes a message instead of guessing at availability.

Where does my customer data go?

Stored in the region — Malaysia or Singapore — and encrypted at rest. Every call opens by telling the caller it's recorded, which is what PDPA requires. You can export or delete a customer's records on request.

What if I go over my minutes?

Extra minutes are RM1.20, billed as used — calls don't stop and nothing gets cut off mid-booking. If you're consistently over, moving up a tier is cheaper than the overage and we'll tell you when that's the case.

Try it on your own number.

We'll set Boka up for your business and you can ring it yourself. If it doesn't sound like someone you'd want answering your phone, no hard feelings.
