Applications
The ScheduleMe bot aims to assist small businesses such as barber shops, private tutors, and more who want to more easily manage and schedule their appointments.

The ScheduleMe bot fixes this by providing an easy way for customers to book, check, and cancel appointments whenever and wherever. One of the best things about the ScheduleMe bot is that it can be incorporated into nearly any business's current scheduling plan as it uses Google Calendar. With Google Calendar, the business can add appointments they would normally book through calling or other methods, allowing the ScheduleMe bot to work around them.
