AI Schedule Optimiser

The Schedule Optimiser (Pro plan and above) is an AI pass over the day’s bookings on the board. It returns a short list of plain-English suggestions — gaps you might fill, stacks you could reorder, walk-in capacity that could open up if you nudged two bookings closer together.

Run the optimiser

Day at a time

The Optimise pass runs against the date currently shown on the board — not a week view. To look ahead, change the date picker first, then tap Optimise.

1. Open /platform/board.
2. Pick the date you want analysed using the date picker (top-left).
3. Tap Optimise (top-right, sparkle icon).

A panel appears at the top of the board with a list of bullet-point suggestions:

✨ AI Schedule Suggestions

• Move Sarah’s blow-out from 10:00 to 10:15 to fit a 45-min walk-in colour at 09:30.
• Lerato’s chair is empty 12:00–14:00 — consider a re-engagement push for lapsed regulars.
• Three back-to-back colours on Basin 1 — give the practitioner a 10-min break after the second.

The suggestions are for you to read — there is no accept-or-reject button per suggestion, and the AI does not auto-apply changes. Tap a card on the board to edit if a suggestion lands well.

Tell the client first

If a suggestion would change a confirmed client’s time, call or message them before tapping Edit. Trust matters more than a 15-minute optimisation.

When to run it

• Sunday evening — set up the week one day at a time
• Monday morning — catch over-weekend changes
• After a cancellation — see what re-shuffles might fill the new gap

What it won’t do

• Auto-move clients
• Send SMSes to clients
• Push outside your working hours
• Override deposit-paid bookings
