AI booking & scheduling for service businesses
Let customers book the right slot while you stay on the job
AI booking and scheduling lets customers request an appointment in plain language, finds a slot that actually works, and books it — then sends reminders to cut no-shows. No phone tag, no double-bookings, no missed appointments.
How the booking workflow works
Receive the request
A customer asks to book a service or appointment in their own words.
Find a slot
The agent checks your Google Calendar for real availability and proposes times that fit.
Book it
The appointment is created in Calendly and your calendar, with the customer's details attached.
Send reminders
A confirmation and reminder go out by SMS through Twilio, reducing no-shows.
