The Personal assistant is a recipe for a voice agent reachable by phone, to assemble yourself (it is not a shipped template — see Typical business agents). It books appointments, checks your calendar, sorts your mail, and can collect a deposit before confirming.
What it does
- Answer the phone — a caller can request an appointment by voice.
- Book a prepaid appointment — the assistant proposes a time slot, generates a payment link, and only confirms after payment is received.
- Daily report — a morning recap (today's calendar, messages to handle).
- Reminder — a nudge before an upcoming appointment.
- Mail triage — sorts incoming emails and surfaces what matters.
- Targeted transfer — routes a priority caller to a direct line.
How it is assembled
- Channel — real-time Telephony (inbound voice).
- Calendar — Google Calendar to check availability (
google.calendar_list_events) and create the appointment (google.calendar_create_event). - Payment — a Stripe payment link (
stripe.create_payment_link), then payment verification (stripe.check_payment) before confirming. To ensure a slot is booked only once, materialize the slots in a no-code database and reserve them withdatabase_manage.claim_row. - Mail — a triage agent on the Email channel (
email_inboundreceiver). - Transfer —
phone_gateway.transfer_calltool (SIP REFER) to a direct number, usable only during a call.
Booking is reliable by construction if the slots are rows of a no-code database: even if two calls target the same slot, the atomic claim_row operation (compare-and-set) guarantees that only one gets it. It does not apply directly to a Google Calendar event.
Adapting it to your context
- Define your appointment types, their duration and their price.
- Choose the transfer rules (who is a priority).
- Adjust the tone and the voice of the assistant.
