Definitely a deal to pick up

I asked many questions before signing up. Great response time and thoughtful replies - not the stock answers you often get.

I really do like the way the app is working now and even more excited about the updates planned. This is not just a standard calendar tool especially as updates continue.

We are consultants who use scheduling tools to set up our calls with prospects, clients and business partners. Acuity has been working for us for years. They are part of Squarespace since 2019 and future plans for Acuity are all about integrating it with Squarespace sites on the backend. I don't expect to see anything else added anytime soon but who knows - we don't have any information at all.

Sidekickai's draw is the ability to schedule and reschedule via the ai tool. That is the secret sauce I am after. The rest will get there based on what I see so far. After having a link to send people for years and some use it while others do not the ai gives me the best of both world since people interact directly in their emails with ai suggestions.

I love the options to add all my different connection methods and allow the scheduler to select how they want to connect. It puts them in control and adds it to the appointment for me.

Also a big fan of the ability for the person scheduling the appointment to add others to the invite when they book the time. Saves so much time adding and updating! Excellent feature.

Parts I need to feel I have a top-notch solution to my problems in place:

- Add a notes or message option to the scheduling page to allow me to know what we are supposed to discuss. While I can usually guess why someone has booked time with me being prepared makes me look better.

- Highlight the option to add invites. Not sure why but some people don't notice they can do that because they have to flip the switch to show it.

- Ability to set openings for a specific day not only like every Wed from 9-4. I want much more flexibility so I can set my schedule manually selecting days and times I am available on the schedule. If I want to open up next Friday afternoon but only next Friday afternoon, that can't be done right now. Some weeks get booked up and I need to add openings for just that week.

- Embed options or WordPress plugin. I want the page to "feel" like it is on my website by embedding the scheduling page. I use redirects to point the page from Acuity embed to the new scheduling page but it is clearly not our site.

- Automated reminders for scheduled appointments with options for me to send it x days and/or hours in advance.

- For the bonus round have an option for the automated reminders to include not just a link to reschedule get the power by adding the ai bot rescheduling options that shows them immediately where the next openings are instead of them going to a link.

Very happy so far and looking forward to where this product is going.

I try to come check AppSumo Q&A / Reviews daily, I get here and see this. Warms my heart :) Thank you whoever you are!! Please email me at chris@sidekickai.com to talk.

Also - Again THANK YOU so much for this! I wanted to get to your feedback now.

- We are rolling out questions in a few weeks! Currently building this now.

- Interesting about the invite guests. I guess yeah why even have a toggle on the page? Why not just have a box if you allow right? makes sense. I'll ticket this now with dev team.

- We do want to build more sophistication in pages / availabilities and we will. Currently working on Rescheduling / Canceling meetings overhaul for you and your guests. Making this better and smarter. But we will plan on these updates soon after.

- Embed is huge request. We need to look into this soon and know we have to at one point. No clear exact date but we know we will do this.

- We are building 1 hour / 24 hour reminders. We do plan to redo settings page sometime and also allow more customized ability to setup your own reminders. For now we are making it simple and standard 24 hours before and 1 hour before. Then we will build to make users configure them.

- Yeah the rescheduling we will make it way better. We have the core build with the email AI bot now and it will get smarter. We had a huge success with Pages we launched in August. We were competing with Acuity / Calendly, and we feel it's up to par almost. We plan to start enhancing other areas in the platform now like the AI bot / Sidekick Scheduling soon.

Also we are very happy about the product too :) Very excited to see how 2022 goes and THANK YOU for becoming a power user. Can't wait to talk to you on email. Please send me an email soon and let's chat.
