Scheduling is a thin app over a calendar API: read your free/busy, subtract buffers, render slots, write the event, send the invite. A bot with a browser, a terminal and your Google account can stand the whole thing up on its own computer and keep it online, which is the part that usually kills a DIY booking link. What you are paying Calendly for is the polish around the edges - timezone handling that never embarrasses you, reminder emails that land in the inbox, and a booking page your clients already trust the look of.
the prompt
Written for a bot that already has a browser, a terminal and your logins · paste it in whole.
You have a computer, a browser and my Google account. Build me a personal booking page and keep it running on your machine. What it does: - Reads free/busy from my primary Google Calendar. - Offers 30 and 60 minute slots, weekdays 09:00-17:00 in my local timezone, with a 15 minute buffer either side of anything already booked and a 2 hour minimum notice. - Shows the visitor slots in THEIR detected timezone. Get this right, it is the only part people notice. - On booking: write the event to my calendar with the guest invited, send both of us a confirmation, and send the guest a reminder 24 hours and 1 hour ahead. How to build it: - One small web app, your choice of stack, SQLite for bookings. No user accounts - a booking link and an admin page behind a password in your env. - Use my Google account through the browser to authorise Calendar access. If you need an OAuth client, register one in Google Cloud Console yourself and tell me when you need me to click approve. - Send mail through Resend if a key is in the env, otherwise fall back to Gmail's SMTP with an app password and tell me you did. Running it: - Serve it from your computer on a stable URL and keep it up. Restart it if it dies. - Check every morning that yesterday's bookings actually landed in my calendar. Message me only if one did not. - Do not send any mail to a guest before I have booked a test slot myself and confirmed the email looks right.

- the timezone edge cases they have already been burned by
