AI Booking Agent
The diary that never double-books.
Sophie owns the appointment conversation end to end. It reads live availability, applies the rules for the right service, staff member or location, and confirms the slot with the customer before the call ends.
Booking by phone means somebody has to stop and check a diary.
Every new booking, reschedule and cancellation pulls someone away from the desk or the till to open a calendar, work out what fits, and call the customer back.
- Rescheduling a single appointment takes as long as booking a new one
- Front-of-house staff toggle between a queue and a diary all day
- No-shows go unchased because nobody has time to follow up
What it does
Built for this job, not adapted from another one.
Checks real-time availability
Reads the live calendar, not a static list of slots that may already be gone.
Applies your service and staff rules
Duration, buffers, which staff or location can take which booking.
Creates the appointment
Confirmed with the customer on the call, not left pending.
Reschedules and cancels
On request, against the same live rules used for a new booking.
Sends confirmations and reminders
By SMS, at the point of booking and again before the appointment.
Captures booking notes
Anything the customer mentions that the person seeing them should know.
Follows up a no-show
Contacts the customer and offers to rebook, rather than leaving the slot to go quiet.
Escalates exceptions
Anything the standard rules do not cover goes to a person, not a guess.

- AI employeeFound it — the eleven o’clock service slot. What day would suit better?

- AI employeeI have Tuesday at nine thirty or Wednesday at ten fifteen the following week.
- CallerWednesday at ten fifteen works.
- AI employeeDone — Thursday’s slot is released and you are moved to Wednesday at ten fifteen. I will text the new confirmation now.

Questions about Sophie
Does it actually check real availability, or a fixed list?
It reads your live calendar at the moment of the call, so it never offers a slot that has just been taken.
What happens with a no-show?
Sophie can follow up automatically and offer to rebook, rather than leaving the missed appointment unaddressed.
Can it handle rules for different staff or services?
Yes. Duration, buffers and who can take which type of booking are all configured per service, staff member or location.
What if a request does not fit the rules?
It is handed to a person rather than forced into a slot that does not actually work.
