Why is writing harder than talking?
In person, things usually go well: you show, you ask, you understand each other. But running your own business happens largely in writing — a new enquiry through your website, a rescheduled appointment, a question about price. And in writing, every word counts: if you do not reply to an enquiry at all, reply too late, or reply in a way that is hard to understand, you lose the job to someone who writes faster and clearer. That has nothing to do with how good your work is — only with how confident you feel in German.
How does the chat with automatic translation work?
In bop you chat with your clients just like in a normal chat — except bop translates automatically in between:
-
The enquiry arrives in German
A client writes to you — for example through your own website. bop shows you the message in your language. -
You reply in your language
Turkish, Ukrainian, Romanian — it does not matter. You write the way you think and express yourself best. -
Your client reads professional German
bop translates your reply automatically — polite, clear, and with correct appointments, prices and addresses. And the next reply comes back to you translated too.
The translation is done by AI that does not translate word for word, but understands the context. "I can come Thursday 14" becomes a message that sounds like a professional: "Sure — I can come on Thursday at 2:00 PM."
What does this mean day to day?
- Answer enquiries fast: whoever replies first gets the job — you no longer need to spend an hour polishing three sentences.
- State your prices with confidence: a clear message looks professional — and professional prices are easier to charge.
- Sort out details without misunderstandings: extra requests, key handover, parking — both sides read in their own language, so nothing gets lost.
- Decline or reschedule politely: even awkward messages come across as respectful and clear.
- Keep regular clients: good communication is the reason clients come back — not just good work.

Not just clients
What does this do for your business?
For many people, language is the real reason they stay on a booking platform instead of building up their own clients — the platform takes care of the writing, but keeps a commission and the client relationship in return. With bop, that reason disappears: enquiries come straight to you through your own website, you reply in your language, and your clients stay your clients. Combined with appointments, invoices and tax reserves in one app, you have the complete office in your pocket — in your language.
Who is this for?
