I built Porter, an AI front desk for appointment- and booking-based businesses.

The idea came from years of booking studios and creative spaces myself. The process was always the same: send an inquiry, wait for someone to check availability, exchange emails, answer more questions, then finally book. Porter removes that friction. A customer simply says what they need in natural language, and Porter understands the request, checks availability, pricing, capacity, equipment and business rules, and gets them booked.

It also handles what happens afterward changes, add-ons, rescheduling, cancellations and refunds without the owner having to step in.

On the business side, Porter turns those conversations into useful operational data and insights, so the owner can see not only what was booked, but what customers are asking for, where bookings are being lost, and where Porter is recovering revenue.

The goal is simple: make booking feel like talking to a great front-desk person without needing a person sitting at the front desk.

I hope you enjoy!
