The problem it solves

No-shows and missed appointments cost you time and revenue, but manually reaching every client to confirm or remind them isn't realistic when you're busy running the business. Generic, copy-paste reminders also feel impersonal to clients.

Who it fits

A clinic, salon, law firm, or any appointment-based service business that wants fewer no-shows.

How it works

  1. A new appointment booking comes in through your system
  2. The details are stored and matched against your client history
  3. AI writes a personalized confirmation or reminder message
  4. The message is sent to the client automatically
  5. The appointment is logged and your team is alerted if something goes wrong

You decide how many no-shows a reminder would have prevented, from your own experience. We assume no rate, and we do not count slots you would have refilled anyway.

What you get

A personalized reminder message sent to the client and a logged record of the appointment.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Supabase account, a Google Sheets account, a messaging provider account, and optionally a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
