An alternative to Calendly which can accept payments and use Email-Ai to book meetings without links

Hi Indie Hackers!

I'm currently working on an MVP for a seamless booking solution designed specifically for coaches, tutors, lawyers, freelancers, and other service providers. It aims to solve pain points that existing tools like Calendly haven’t addressed. I'd love your feedback—or a good roasting! 😅

Key Research Findings

1️⃣ Clients dislike impersonal booking links.
Many clients find links sent via email impersonal and rigid. According to a Reddit thread, 40% of leads ignore these links entirely.

2️⃣ No email confirmations if Google Calendar isn’t synced.
Forgetting to sync a calendar means no confirmation emails get sent—a huge gap for users.

3️⃣ No automated reminders = more no-shows.
Current tools lack automated reminders for clients, resulting in missed meetings.

4️⃣ Limited payment options.
Existing solutions don’t support subscriptions or multi-meeting packages effectively.

5️⃣ Timezone confusion.
Poor timezone handling makes global bookings unnecessarily complicated.

How My Solution Stands Out
Here’s what I’m envisioning for this tool:

AI-powered automation: Handles email replies and books appointments directly via email (no need for a static link).

Personalized booking pages: Clients can suggest their availability instead of being restricted by a rigid time picker.

Flexible payment options: Supports one-time payments, subscriptions, and multi-meeting packages.

Automatic timezone detection: Simplifies global scheduling.

Validation So Far:
Many Reddit users have expressed frustration with existing tools for lacking advanced features and flexibility.
Solopreneurs and small businesses want better automation and team management capabilities, but without the high costs associated with enterprise tools.
