Outreach
AI Appointment Setter
Leads chatting on your site or replying to email get qualified and booked, without a rep touching either channel.
Inbound leads arrive at all hours, and many wait too long for someone to ask the first question. This setter engages each lead over chat or email, asks the qualifying questions from your playbook, and books the ones who fit straight onto a rep's calendar. Leads who are not ready are handled politely, and your team sees every conversation.
- Every inbound lead engaged and qualified the same way
- Qualified leads booked directly onto a rep's calendar
- Full conversation and outcome logged in your CRM
$3,900
20–30 working days
Optional maintenance $249/mo
What it is
AI Appointment Setter engages leads across chat and email, asks qualifying questions from your playbook, and books the ones who pass straight onto a rep's calendar. It works across the channels and calendar you already use, and logs every conversation and booking in your CRM.
Why businesses buy it
Speed and consistency decide inbound sales. The lead who waits until tomorrow has often booked with someone else, and qualification varies widely from one rep to the next. This setter answers right away, asks the same questions every time and only puts genuinely qualified meetings on calendars, so reps spend their day selling rather than screening. The written scope fixes the channel, the connected systems and the qualification workflows before you order, so you know exactly what will be built and tested.
Problems this solves
Inbound leads wait for a rep before anyone asks a question
The setter engages each lead on your chosen channel and asks the qualifying questions from your playbook. Leads who pass are booked onto a rep's calendar straight away.
Reps lose time on calls with leads who were never a fit
Only leads that meet your criteria get a slot. Others receive a polite reply under your rules, so reps' calendars hold conversations that are worth their time.
Qualifying answers stay in an inbox and never reach the CRM
Every conversation and booking is logged in your CRM. The rep sees the lead's answers before the call, so the same questions are not asked twice.
A good fit if
Leads come in through website chat, email, or both, and someone currently has to qualify each one before booking a call.
You have qualification criteria, such as budget, timeline or company size, that decide who is worth a rep's time.
You want a consistent qualifying conversation every time, instead of quality depending on who happens to pick up the lead.
You already keep a calendar and a CRM and want qualified bookings and disqualified leads both logged automatically.
Not the right fit if
Your leads are already qualified and simply need converting from a reply into a calendar slot. See AI Meeting Booking Agent, which is built for that narrower job.
You need to reach cold prospects who have not engaged yet, not qualify inbound interest. See AI Outreach Sequencer.
You want broader conversational selling that goes beyond qualifying, into handling objections and moving a deal toward close. See AI Sales Agent.
You need more than two connected systems or more than six qualification workflows. Add a note at checkout for a written Change Quote.
How it works
- We load your qualification criteria, playbook and sample conversations, so the setter knows what makes a lead worth booking.
- It engages new leads across chat, email or both, asking the qualifying questions your reps would normally ask first.
- Answers are checked against your criteria in real time. Leads who qualify move straight to booking; leads who do not are logged with the reason.
- For qualified leads, it reads live calendar availability and books directly, respecting the buffers and rules you set.
- Anything ambiguous, such as a borderline answer or an unusual request, is held for a person rather than decided automatically.
- Every conversation, qualification outcome and booking is written back to the CRM, so reps see exactly why a meeting is on their calendar.
What you provide within 72 hours
Your portal lists these the moment you order. Delivery starts the working day after everything is in and your access is checked.
- Admin or API access to your chat, email and calendar systems, sandbox or test records if available.
- Your qualification criteria and playbook, including what disqualifies a lead as well as what qualifies one.
- Ten real sample conversations or emails so the setter's questions and tone match how your team actually asks them.
- The name of the person who approves borderline qualification calls the rules do not clearly cover.
- Your business information (company basics, hours and brand voice), shared during intake.
- Admin access and API keys for every connected system, shared by adding our team as a user or creating a key you control, never by email.
- One decision-maker who can confirm the qualification and booking rules before we build.
- An API key for your own AI model account (for example OpenAI or Google Gemini), created for this build with a spending limit.
The 72-hour rule. Send everything on your checklist, including access, within 72 hours of ordering so your build starts on time.

Expected benefits and how to measure them
- Can get qualified leads onto a calendar sooner.
- Helps reps spend more of their week with good-fit prospects.
- Lead-to-booked-meeting rate
- From your CRM, compare booked meetings with new inbound leads for the month before launch and the month after.
- Time from first contact to booking
- Use the lead's created date and the meeting booking date. Compare the average before and after launch.
- Meetings reps rate as a good fit
- Add a simple fit field to meetings in the CRM and compare the share marked as a fit before and after.
Before you start: Record last month's inbound leads, booked meetings and how long booking took. Ask reps to estimate how many calls were poor fits.
These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.
Running costs
The build is paid for once. Running it costs roughly $50 to $250 a month in AI model usage and hosting, on top of your existing chat, email and calendar plans. Cost tracks conversation volume: a lower-traffic site or inbox sits at the low end, a high-volume lead source sits higher.
AI usage during build and testing is billed to your own accounts, so every provider relationship stays yours.
Ask about running costsCustom requirements
If you need something outside the Scope Card, add a note at checkout. You get a written Change Quote, and that work only starts once you accept it. Your original order keeps its delivery date either way. Larger or bespoke projects go through the Custom AI request form instead.
Request a custom versionKeep it running
We recommend monthly maintenance: monitoring, fixes and a monthly allowance of change hours for things such as new qualifying questions or updated criteria. It starts after the 30 days of included support and can be cancelled any month.
$249/mo (the minimum fee, includes 2 change hours)
Optional. Starts after the post-launch support period. Cancel any month.
How maintenance worksHow this compares
| Do it yourself with a SaaS tool | Hire a custom agency | Upmark Labs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | A chatbot tool charges a monthly fee regardless of how many leads convert | A custom agency quotes after discovery calls | Ours is one fixed price, shown before you buy |
| Qualification | A chatbot tool usually just collects contact details | An agency build depends on what was agreed | Ours applies your actual qualification criteria before booking anything |
| Channels | A chatbot tool is scoped to a single widget on your site | An agency build depends on what was agreed | Ours covers chat and email together in one workflow |
| Delivery | A chatbot tool is quick to install but the qualifying logic is still yours to write | An agency usually takes several weeks, set per project | Ours has a fixed delivery time shown before you buy, with faster options |
Questions about this product
How much does the AI Appointment Setter cost?
One fixed price, shown in the price panel next to this page before you order. It covers qualification, booking, the calendar and CRM connections, 50 documented test scenarios, two rounds of changes and the recorded 60-minute handoff session. Faster express and rush delivery are offered at a set uplift, and we charge nothing per conversation or booking.
What counts as a qualified lead?
Whatever criteria you set during intake, such as budget, timeline or company size, plus anything that should disqualify a lead outright. The setter checks every answer against those rules consistently, rather than leaving it to individual judgment or a rep's mood that day.
Does it work across both chat and email?
Yes, within the one channel included in this build; we recommend the channel where most leads currently arrive. Adding a second channel so both are covered together is available as an add-on, quoted separately at checkout. We recommend the whichever channel currently brings in the most leads.
What happens to leads who do not qualify?
They are logged in the CRM with the reason they did not pass, so nothing disappears silently and you can review the disqualified list at any time to check the criteria are working as intended. That log is often useful later for spotting patterns in lost fit.
What is the monthly cost to keep it running?
Roughly $50 to $250 a month in AI model usage and hosting, on top of your existing chat, email and calendar subscriptions. Cost tracks how many conversations it engages in, not how many end up booked. Usage tracks how many conversations happen, independent of how many convert to a booking.
Can it book directly onto a rep's calendar?
Yes, reading live availability and applying the buffers and rules you set, the same way AI Meeting Booking Agent books confirmed replies, so a qualified lead moves straight from conversation to a confirmed time. That keeps qualification and scheduling inside one continuous flow for the lead.
Can the qualifying questions change later?
Yes. Small changes, such as an updated criterion or a rephrased question, fit inside the monthly change hours that come with maintenance. A new qualification workflow entirely is a written Change Quote. Most teams tune a question or two after seeing real conversations for a few weeks.
Who owns the conversations and lead data?
You do. It runs inside your own chat, email and CRM accounts, so every conversation, qualification outcome and booking, along with every AI provider relationship, stays in your name rather than ours. We do not retain a separate copy of any of it after delivery.
Qualify every lead the same way, every time.
Order the AI Appointment Setter and every inbound lead is engaged, qualified and booked the same way, day or night.
