1 · The problem
A tutoring company wanted parents to book sessions over WhatsApp without staff juggling calendars.
2 · Agent setup
A small AI agency owner reused his own WhatsApp-to-calendar-to-database platform, so he only had to write the client's booking rules.
3 · Result
He says the build took two days for a US$5,000 fee, against about a week and a half for a similar job six months earlier.
4 · Copy-paste prompt
Design a WhatsApp booking assistant for my tuition centre. Subjects: [list]. Slots: [days/times]. It must check the calendar, offer 3 free slots, confirm the booking, and send a reminder 24h before. Write the conversation flow and the rules for handing over to a human.
