Automate yoga studio cancellations, Instagram DMs and the monthly staff schedule with AI agents

The problem

Cancellation emails, membership freezes, Instagram DMs and staff scheduling ate her evenings; her booking software had no API for membership changes.

What happened

As reported by Shimmer Labs: 50+ cancellations and freezes processed, fully autonomous after 4 weeks; Anna says she no longer has to monitor email constantly (self-reported).

How to set it up yourself

  1. Write your cancellation and freeze rules down.
  2. Have the agent flag anything outside the rules.
  3. Review suggested DM replies before letting it send.
  4. Keep staff schedules as drafts you approve.

Copy-paste prompt

Here is a member's request: {EMAIL}. Our rules: cancellations need 3+ months paid and 30 days notice; freezes 30-90 days. Say whether it qualifies, what form to send, and anything to flag for the owner.
