Standard Scheduler
The Standard Scheduler is the core Scenario in AVA, used to book appointments through your connected calendar. Acting as a company representative, the AI Agent coordinates with contacts to find the best meeting time and can adapt its messaging using customizable inputs. This Scenario forms the foundation for many of AVA’s more specialized and broader use cases.
