Move the Appointment While You Make Lunch

A muse can move an appointment on a booking website for you, working through dates in your order of preference while you do something else. It handles real booking tasks end to end: rebooking childcare across four dates, with a list of preferred sitters, on a booking site.

What it does

The service handles appointment rebooking end to end. You give the muse the details the way you would tell a friend: what needs moving, which dates work in order of preference, and any people involved. For anything behind a password, you log in yourself first. The muse cannot see passwords you type into the browser by hand. Once you are logged in, it does the clicking, then it asks before it confirms anything. It can also add the result to your calendar.

How to use it

1. Pick the errand: a doctor's office, a haircut, the dentist, childcare.
2. Tell the muse the details in plain words: "I need to move my appointment. These are the dates that work, in order of preference. Here is my login for the booking site."
3. Log into the booking site yourself in the muse's browser.
4. Let it work, then read the confirmation screen yourself before it books. That is the step that keeps your accounts in your hands.

What you need

The booking details, your dates in order of preference, and your login credentials, which you enter by hand.

What to watch for

Read the confirmation screen, not just the summary. A muse once invented a gym promotion for the wrong gym on the wrong coast, which is a reminder that you check the details before anything is confirmed. The manual login step is the part that keeps your accounts in your hands. The muse prepares, you decide.
