A booking feature Timerise builds into custom booking systems its clients own. One fixed project price, typically $15,000 to $50,000, with this feature part of it. Last updated: 2026-10-20.

Customers ask the same questions all day, and more of them now book through AI assistants. We build an AI assistant into your booking system that answers from your own facts and books inside your rules, and an API that AI agents can use.

What goes wrong without it:
- Your team answers the same questions about prices, parking and free slots, by phone and chat, all day.
- AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude are starting to book for people. A system they cannot read is one they skip.

How we build it, to the client's rules:
- Assistant on your site: Answers from your own services, prices and rules, and books a slot without sending the customer to a form.
- Assistant for your team: Your staff ask about the day, a customer or a report in Slack, and approve changes with a button.
- Bookings by AI agents: An MCP server and an API that AI agents can use to check slots and book for their users.
- Within your rules: The assistant can only do what a customer or staff member may do. Every action is logged.

Compared with a SaaS tool:
- Knowledge. In a SaaS tool: A generic chatbot that guesses. In your own system: An assistant that reads your own facts and live slots.
- Agents. In a SaaS tool: AI agents see only the platform's public page. In your own system: An API built for agents to book in your system.

FAQ:
- Q: Which AI model does it use?
  A: The one that fits your data and budget. The assistant is built so the model can change later without rebuilding it.
- Q: What does this feature add to the price?
  A: It is part of the one fixed price for your system, and you see it in the quote before the build starts. Most projects cost $15,000 to $50,000 in total, paid once, with no subscription and no commission on bookings.
- Q: Can you add it to a system we already run?
  A: Yes. We build it into a new system or into the one you already run, with its own quote. When the feature has an Agent Skill, your own developers can also build it with the skill.
- Q: Who owns the code?
  A: You do. The code, the data and the documentation are handed over, and the system runs in your cloud account or on ours. Every project includes 3 years of support.
