I built an AI that books appointments for small businesses 24/7 — got my first real user and real feedback

Hey IH 👋

Two weeks ago I shipped an AI Appointment Setter for small businesses — solo therapists, trainers, coaches, consultants — anyone who loses clients to missed calls and back-and-forth booking emails.

How it works:

• Client opens a chat-based booking page
• AI collects their info, asks what they need, confirms duration
• Checks real availability from the business owner's Google Calendar
• Books the slot and sends confirmation emails to both sides

No forms. No phone tag. Just a conversation that ends in a booked appointment.

Tech stack:

• Next.js 14 + Prisma + Neon Postgres
• Claude API (Anthropic) as the conversational brain
• Google Calendar API for real-time availability
• Resend for email confirmations
• Deployed on Vercel

It's multi-tenant — each business gets their own branded booking page and dashboard.

I got my uncle, a property consultant, to actually use it with real clients for two weeks instead of just demoing it to myself. That turned out to be the most valuable thing I did — he found two real UX bugs I never would have caught alone (markdown formatting showing as raw asterisks, and the chat input not auto-focusing). Fixed both based on his actual usage, not assumptions.

Here's what he said after using it:

"Normally for property enquiries, clients have to call or message back and forth just to coordinate timing — but with this, they directly talk to the AI and book the appointment themselves. The best part is that appointments automatically show up in Google Calendar, so I don't have to worry about tracking things manually anymore. It saved time and made the booking process feel more professional."

Built the entire thing using Claude Code — from spec to live deployment to iterating on real user bugs, all in focused sessions.

I'm a solo founder running this under VEDANTIX AI, currently offering done-for-you setup for small businesses. Starting at $399.

Would love feedback from this community — especially on positioning and whether the conversational booking approach feels genuinely better than a Calendly-style form, or just different.
