Your AI assistant can now book a music lesson for you
Assistants that work in your browser can now read a teacher's lesson options and free times on Learn Instrument and book a lesson for you, once you say yes.
Until now, booking a lesson meant clicking through the calendar yourself. Now you can hand that job to an AI assistant. The booking form on Learn Instrument tells assistants exactly what it offers, through WebMCP, a new web standard that Chrome and Edge are trialling.
How it works
Pick a teacher on an instrument's page and open their booking form. Then ask your assistant something like "Find a Saturday morning time for a free introduction and book it." It reads the lesson options and prices, finds the times the teacher is free, and fills in the form where you can see it. We mark booking as a step that needs your go-ahead, which tells the assistant to ask you before it books.
What stays with you
The tools we give assistants cannot sign you in, create an account or pay. If you are not signed in, the form asks you to, and the booking goes through once you have. After that, you and your teacher can message each other about the lesson as usual.
For teachers
There is nothing to set up. Your lessons on Learn Instrument already work this way. The scheduler you can embed on your own website offers the same tools, ready for assistants that can use tools inside embedded pages.
Where it works today
ChatGPT's desktop app already uses tools like these in its built-in browser, on accounts and models where OpenAI has turned them on. More assistants will follow as browsers take up the standard. Until yours does, the booking form works exactly as it always has.
