The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for availability.

The agent acts as a bridge between your chat window and your Acuity account.

  1. Identify services

    The agent first looks up what kinds of appointments you actually offer to ensure it's checking the right thing.

  2. Find open slots

    Once it knows the service type, the agent scans your calendar for empty spots on your requested dates.
