Appointment Bot

In short: The bot proposes free slots, confirms appointments, and sends reliable reminders.
1. What the appointment bot really is
An appointment bot checks availability, rules, and buffers. It proposes slots and confirms automatically.

Calendar access is minimal and logged. Data is deleted on schedule.

12. FAQ in plain language
Do I need a new core system?
Not necessarily. A lean middleware layer connects the appointment bot to your existing environment.
Which data leave my premises?
As little as possible. The default is local or private hosting with clear roles and permissions.
How do I prevent wrong decisions?
With clear rules, human approval, and logs. The AI provides suggestions; the decision stays with you.
How do I measure success?
Less lead time, fewer corrections, higher first-time resolution. Start with three measurable goals.
