Your AI assistant can now book a session with a consultant
Assistants that work in your browser can now read a consultant's session options and free times on Consultant Per Hour and book a session for you, once you say yes.
Until now, booking a session meant clicking through the calendar yourself. Now you can hand that job to an AI assistant. The booking form on Consultant Per Hour tells assistants exactly what it offers, through WebMCP, a new web standard that Chrome and Edge are trialling.
How it works
Open a consultant's page and ask your assistant something like "Book an hour with this consultant next Tuesday morning." It reads the session options and rates, finds the times the consultant is free, and fills in the booking form where you can see it. We mark booking as a step that needs your go-ahead, which tells the assistant to ask you before it books.
What stays with you
The tools we give assistants cannot sign you in, create an account or pay. If you are not signed in, the form asks you to, and the booking goes through once you have. After that, you and your consultant can message each other about the session as usual.
For consultants
There is nothing to set up. Every listing on Consultant Per Hour already works this way, and so does the booking link you share. The scheduler you embed on your own website offers the same tools, ready for assistants that can use tools inside embedded pages.
Where it works today
ChatGPT's desktop app already uses tools like these in its built-in browser, on accounts and models where OpenAI has turned them on. More assistants will follow as browsers take up the standard. Until yours does, the booking form works exactly as it always has.
