What it does

Gives staff a conversational way to reserve meeting rooms without leaving Slack. An employee messages the concierge with what they need ("book a room for 6 people at 2pm Thursday"), and the workflow finds an available room, creates the calendar event, and confirms back in the thread.

When to use it

Use this when your office has shared conference rooms managed as Google Calendar resources and people waste time hunting for an open one. Ideal for hybrid teams who already live in Slack and want self-service booking instead of a separate room-scheduling app.

How it works

  1. 1An employee mentions or DMs the concierge bot in Slack with their room request.
  2. 2The agent parses the request into start time, duration, and headcount.
  3. 3It queries each room's Google Calendar to find one that is free for the requested window and large enough.
  4. 4If a matching room is open, it books the event on that room's calendar with the requester as organizer.
  5. 5The bot replies in the Slack thread with the room name, time, and a calendar link; if nothing fits, it suggests the nearest available slots.
