AskMyBusiness answers from your own site content and captures the lead when a visitor wants to book, then hands the appointment itself to a person, not a calendar.
AskMyBusiness answers questions from a business's own published content, including its booking pages, but it does not run a calendar or book an appointment itself. When a visitor is ready to book, the assistant hands the conversation to a person: it captures the visitor's name and contact, with their permission, and sends it straight to the owner's inbox, even at midnight.
The assistant is built to answer from what the business has already published: services, pricing, hours, policies, and booking pages. If someone asks "what's your cancellation policy" or "how much is a two-hour session," it pulls that answer from the site and shows the page it came from. That's the core job — answering, with a receipt attached to every answer.
Booking is different. AskMyBusiness doesn't hold a calendar, doesn't check open slots, and doesn't confirm a time. Those things live in whatever booking tool or page the business already uses. The assistant's job at that point is to recognize the visitor wants to book, and route them to a person instead of guessing at availability.
A second model checks every answer against the business's own published content before it ships. If the assistant can't verify something — including whether a time slot is actually open — it says "I don't know" and offers a person rather than inventing an answer. Booking sits squarely in that category: nothing on a services page tells the assistant what's open next Tuesday, so it doesn't pretend to know.
Whenever a visitor wants to talk, wants to book, or raises something that needs judgment, the assistant captures their name and contact information with their permission and sends it to the owner's inbox right away, including outside business hours. The owner's dashboard also shows which leads still need follow-up, so a booking request from midnight doesn't sit unnoticed.
Visitor: "Do you have any openings for a Saturday afternoon wedding next spring?"
Assistant\: "I can tell you what our packages include and what a Saturday event typically runs, but I don't have access to the live calendar to check open dates. Want me to pass your name and contact to our team so someone can check availability and follow up? (Source: Weddings & Events page)"
No. It answers from the business's published content and, when a visitor wants to book, sends their contact information to the owner so a person can confirm it.
Yes, if hours are part of the business's published content, the assistant can answer from that page directly, with the source shown.
That's the core use case. The assistant answers pricing, policy, and service questions straight from the site 24/7, and only hands off to a person when a visitor wants to talk, book, or needs a judgment call. Try the free private preview, built in under 24 hours, no card, at askmy.business.
