That’s been my experience. LLMs excel at languages that are popular. JavaScript and Python are two great examples.

I built this tutorial repo that gets you started building a webchat. Feel free to take it and use it to build your own. It includes LLM context management, SSE for status progress, and backend calendar integration via Block APIs.

I’ve been building automation tools for small businesses and hit a recurring pain point: every booking platform has a totally different API (if it even has one).

So I’m experimenting with a universal booking API: a single JSON interface that lets developers book, cancel, and check availability across many systems (starting with Vagaro, Mindbody, and Fresha).

Under the hood it’s a mix of native APIs and AI-assisted browser automation that handles login states, 2FA, and DOM drift. The goal is to make booking as portable as payments (think Stripe, but for scheduling).

Right now I’m validating demand. If you’ve ever had to build or maintain integrations with scheduling software, I’d love your feedback. What would make an API like this genuinely useful (or trustworthy) for you?

Vagaro, Housecall Pro, Fresha, Zenoti to name a few

These are usually purchased by the business owner to run their core business then they but add on features for marketing, review management, etc.

I can’t comment on whether the PMs are doing their job, but I’ve been building on my own for almost a year now. Working directly with the end user is what motivates me and it’s very eye opening. A lot of engineering thought can miss without guidance. Some experience is always worthwhile.
