Inspiration Small appointment businesses (salons, physio studios, tutors, groomers) live on a calendar and lose money when people do not show up. At the same time AI assistants are starting to book appointments on people's behalf, and a business that takes bookings from assistants has no way to know the booking is real. A deposit hold on PayPal answers both: the slot is committed, and nobody is charged unless something happens. We also wanted to see how far an AI can go in a business that moves money, and our answer was: it plans, a person approves, and the code checks everything in between. PayPal's own AI resources page names service businesses that invoice, take payments and manage appointments as a typical use of its AI tools, which is the business we built for.
