AI Appointment Scheduling That Books While You Work
Let callers book, reschedule and cancel appointments by phone at any hour. Your AI receptionist offers times that fit your services, hours and rules, confirms the details and keeps your schedule organised.
Booking by phone
The booking conversation, handled from start to finish
Booking an appointment by phone sounds simple, but it takes several steps: understanding which service the caller needs, finding a time that suits both of you, collecting their details and confirming everything clearly. Done by hand, each booking can take several minutes of staff time, and it only happens when someone is free to answer.
With AI appointment scheduling, your AI receptionist runs that conversation for you. It asks the right questions, offers suitable times and books the slot the caller chooses, then saves the appointment with a link to the call recording and transcript. Your team sees new bookings in the dashboard without having to pick up the phone.

Booking Rules That Match How You Actually Work
An appointment that does not fit your day is worse than no appointment. You decide exactly what can be booked, when and for how long.
Services and durations
List the services callers can book and how long each one takes, so a consultation and a full treatment are never squeezed into the same slot.Hours and closures
Set opening hours per day, lunch breaks, holidays and dates when you are closed. The AI only offers times that are genuinely open.Buffers and notice
Add preparation time between appointments and a minimum notice period, so nobody books a slot that starts in ten minutes.Staff and resources
Tell us how your team and rooms are organised during onboarding, and we will configure booking around them as far as your setup allows.Changes and cancellations
Decide whether callers can move or cancel appointments themselves and how much notice they need to give.What to collect
Choose the details to ask for, such as name, phone, email, reason for visit or service address, and the AI collects them every time.
An AI receptionist with Google Calendar
Many small businesses already run their day from Google Calendar. We are building a direct integration so that, once you connect your account, your AI receptionist can check real availability across your calendars and add confirmed appointments automatically, including changes and cancellations.
This integration is not available yet and is clearly marked as coming soon. Today, appointments booked by phone are stored and managed in the NOVYQUOR AI dashboard. If calendar sync is essential for you, tell us during your demo so we can keep you updated.
Planned Google Calendar capabilities
- Connect one or more Google calendars
- Check free and busy times before offering slots
- Create events for confirmed bookings
- Update or remove events when callers reschedule or cancel
- Respect your business time zone

FAQ
Scheduling Questions
Common questions about booking appointments with an AI receptionist.
Can it schedule appointments?
Yes. Callers can request, book, reschedule or cancel appointments within the services, durations, business hours and booking rules you configure. Each booking appears in your dashboard with the caller details and the call that created it.
Does it work with Google Calendar?
Google Calendar integration is on our roadmap and marked as coming soon. Once it is available, you will be able to connect your Google account so the AI can check real availability and add confirmed appointments to your calendar. Until then, appointments are managed in the NOVYQUOR AI dashboard.
Can the AI answer calls after business hours?
Yes. Your AI receptionist can answer around the clock, including evenings, weekends and holidays. You decide what it does outside your business hours, for example take a detailed message, offer the next available appointment, or transfer genuinely urgent calls to an on-call number.
Can the AI transfer calls to a real person?
Yes. You define when a call should go to a person, such as an emergency, a request to speak with someone, or a topic you prefer to handle yourself. The AI can transfer the call to the number you choose, or take a message when nobody is available.
How long does setup take?
It depends on how much your receptionist needs to know. A simple setup with your greeting, hours, services and common questions can be ready quickly, while detailed booking rules or several locations take longer. We walk you through configuration and test calls before any real caller is answered.
