Where to find it

This feature is found within AI agent settings. HighLevel has not published a more specific navigation path yet, but it will be configurable within your AI agent's setup area.

How agencies will use this

Agencies can deploy this to streamline client booking processes. For example, a spa sub-account could have a Conversation AI agent fielding initial chat inquiries. Instead of simply sending a booking link, the AI can now ask the prospect directly, "What service are you interested in and what day works best for you?" Based on the prospect's responses, the AI will use a public service calendar to find and propose available slots. If the prospect agrees, the AI books the appointment directly without leaving the chat. Further, if the client later chats saying, "Can I move my massage to next Tuesday?" custom bot logic will allow the AI to handle the reschedule directly, triggering an update in the calendar and potentially a workflow to send a confirmation SMS.

Our take

This is a major update. The ability for Conversation AI to manage the entire booking lifecycle—from initial booking to rescheduling and cancellation—directly within chat is significant for agencies seeking to automate client interactions. It moves HighLevel's AI capabilities beyond simple lead qualification and into direct service delivery. Agencies should investigate how this integrates with existing calendar setups and custom workflows, as it offers a more fluid customer experience than traditional booking link drops.
