Entering yet another cancellation manually in Magicline?

Service requests eat up time you could use better: for member care or growth in peak season. melibo AI agents automate recurring requests – for brands like FITSEVENELEVEN & Clever Fit and directly in Magicline

The problem

Growth is wearing out your service team

Every new location and every January rush brings the same questions and the same manual work. melibo solves that for you.

Same requests, every day

Cancellations, plan questions, studio access – standard cases tie up resources you need for complex issues.

Service doesn't scale

Volume explodes in January and before the summer slump. But your team doesn't suddenly have 30% more capacity.

Disconnected systems

Magicline, helpdesk, CRM – data is scattered and agents have to piece everything together manually.

Talent shortage

Good service staff are hard to find. New hires take time to onboard and deliver inconsistent quality.

Summer cancellations

Cancellations pile up in spring. Without proactive outreach, you lose members who just need a break.

SLA breaches at peak

Monday morning: 80 open tickets. Friday evening: no agent online. Members wait – and cancel.

Our solution

Your AI agent works directly in Magicline

Not a chatbot that just answers questions. An agent that completes tasks without human intervention.

FAQs

Common questions from gyms.

Does melibo work if we don't use Magicline?

Yes. melibo integrates with common helpdesk systems (Freshdesk, HubSpot, Intercom) and also works without Magicline. The Magicline integration is a big lever for fitness brands, but not a requirement.

How long does implementation take?

In our experience, a first productive agent is live in about 4 weeks. The speed depends on how quickly the relevant processes and content are provided.

What happens to requests the agent can't resolve?

The agent hands over seamlessly to a human agent (human handover) – with full conversation context, so your team doesn't have to start from scratch. At FITSEVENELEVEN, the human handover rate is just 3.9%.

Can the agent actively reduce cancellations – not just process them?

Yes. The agent detects cancellation intent in the conversation and can proactively offer alternatives – membership pause, plan change, freeze – before the member formally cancels. That reduces churn, especially during the summer slump.

Is the AI agent GDPR-compliant?

Yes. melibo is fully GDPR-compliant and processes data on European servers. We sign a data processing agreement (DPA) and support you with the data protection setup.

How many locations is melibo suited for?

melibo is designed for mid-sized to large fitness chains. Groups with around 5 or more locations benefit most, since recurring standard requests occur in enough volume to make automation pay off.
