When are you free? It sounds like a question about a calendar and it is really a question about policy. Free for what, for whom, and at what cost to the rest of the week? Answered case by case, it produces a diary shaped by whoever asked first. Answered once, in advance, it produces something you can publish.
AI Availability Planner writes that policy. Office hours, booking windows, coverage rotas, response commitments: the rules that decide what other people can put in your week.
Short answer: AI Availability Planner designs when you or your team are available and publishes it as a rule rather than a case by case decision. It produces booking windows, coverage patterns and response commitments across whatever period you choose. Free, with no account required.
What is AI Availability Planner?
A policy tool. The output is not a schedule of what you will do; it is a statement of when others can claim your time, and what happens to requests that fall outside it.
The prompt area asks for your goals, constraints, or context for the availability planner. Behind Advanced Options sit ten controls covering how far ahead the policy runs, how prescriptive it is, and what it is written to protect.
Note Availability is a subtraction problem. Every hour you make bookable is an hour removed from everything else, so decide the total first and distribute it afterwards.
Why Use AI Availability Planner?
Because saying yes individually is much harder than publishing a rule. "I have office hours on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons" is a sentence nobody argues with. "No, not Wednesday morning" said eleven times a month is exhausting and eventually you stop saying it.
Because coverage needs designing when more than one person is involved. Two people each available half the week can still leave Thursday uncovered, and nobody notices until a Thursday goes wrong. AI Availability Planner checks the pattern rather than the individual calendars.
And because a published availability policy is the cheapest boundary there is. It costs one paragraph and removes a decision from every week thereafter.
Who Should Use It?
Anyone whose time is bookable by other people. Consultants and advisers. Academics running office hours. Support teams designing coverage. Clinicians and therapists managing appointment blocks. Managers who need to be reachable without being permanently interruptible. Small teams sharing an on call rota.
It also suits freelancers who want to protect a portion of the week from client calls without having that conversation individually with each client.
How Does AI Availability Planner Work?
One page, four elements. Your situation goes into the prompt area, the model selector below it groups engines by provider, the Advanced Options accordion holds ten controls, and generate produces the policy.
The result lands in a card with a live word count in the footer, offering copy, listen, reuse, download and open actions. An export row supplies DOC, TXT and HTML, which is normally the next step because availability only works when it is published. The activity history panel keeps recent runs so a generous policy and a protective one can be compared before you commit.
A useful run needs five things described:
- How many hours a week you are willing to make bookable.
- Which parts of the week must stay unavailable, and why.
- Who is asking, and how urgent their requests genuinely are.
- What happens to a request that falls outside the windows.
- Whether anyone else shares the coverage.
Key Features
Booking windows
Defined periods when time can be claimed, sized to a total you decided rather than one that accumulated.
Coverage checking
Patterns across several people, so the gap nobody is covering shows up before it matters.
Response commitments
What happens to out of hours requests, which is the part that makes a boundary acceptable to others.
Publishable wording
Output written to be sent, not just to be understood by you.
Advanced Options Guide
| Control | What it governs |
|---|---|
| Planning Horizon | 1 Week, 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year or Custom. Longer horizons suit published policies. |
| Planning Style | Simple, Detailed, Structured, Flexible, Time-Blocked, Goal-Oriented, Milestone-Based or Minimal. |
| Output Format | Plan, Checklist, Timeline, Table, Roadmap, Step by Step or Calendar. |
| Priority Focus | Deadlines, Goals, Balance, Efficiency, Impact, Quick Wins or Consistency. |
| Include Milestones | Toggle. Useful when availability changes across a project. |
| Include Action Steps | Toggle. Says how to communicate and enforce the policy. |
| Include Deadlines | Toggle. Marks the periods where availability is contractually fixed. |
| Keep It Flexible | Toggle. Produces a policy with stated exceptions rather than hard rules. |
| Detail Level | Slider from 1 to 100 controlling how thorough the policy is. |
| Custom Instructions | Up to 1000 characters, for obligations such as a contracted response time. |
Pro tip Ask for the wording you would send alongside the policy itself. A boundary explained in one friendly sentence survives; the same boundary announced as a rule invites negotiation.
Example Outputs
Describe a consultant with three clients, a need for two protected mornings and a contractual same day response commitment. With Output Format on Table, the policy arrives as something publishable:
| Window | Available for | Outside it |
|---|---|---|
| Tue and Thu, 13:00 to 17:00 | Client calls and meetings, bookable | Requests offered the next window |
| Mon, Wed, Fri mornings | Nothing bookable | Messages answered the same day, after 13:00 |
| Daily, 13:00 to 13:30 | Reply window for anything urgent | Keeps the same day commitment intact |
| Friday afternoon | Kept clear for overspill | Released for booking only in a busy week |
The daily reply window is what makes the rest defensible. Without it, "unavailable three mornings a week" conflicts with a same day commitment, and the conflict is resolved by breaking the mornings.
- ✅ Total bookable hours decided before the windows are placed
- ✅ A stated route for requests that fall outside the windows
- ✅ Coverage checked across everyone sharing it
- ✅ Contractual commitments written into Custom Instructions
- ✅ The policy published, not merely decided
Important An availability policy nobody has been told about is just a private preference, and it will be broken constantly by people acting in good faith.
Comparison Table
| Approach | Effort per request | Coverage visible | Holds under pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deciding case by case | A decision every time | No | No, it erodes |
| A booking link with open slots | None | Partly | Only if the slots were designed |
| AI Availability Planner | None once published | Yes | Yes, because it was stated in advance |
Strengths
- Converts a repeated decision into a published rule
- Checks coverage across several people
- Provides a route for out of hours requests
- Produces wording you can actually send
Limits
- It does not connect to a booking system
- It cannot enforce a policy you do not hold to
- Genuine emergencies will still ignore it
- A policy nobody was told about achieves nothing
AIToolsay is where AI Availability Planner lives, part of a broad collection of AI tools that each finish one job rather than being generally helpful. All are free with no account required, so revising a policy each quarter costs nothing. The same engine picker appears on every page, which makes a second and more generous version easy to produce for comparison. Availability across a named project team is usually better handled by the AI Project Resource Planner, and the wider question of how the remaining time is used belongs with the AI Time Planner. Everything else is at AIToolsay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI Availability Planner free?
Yes, and there is no account step before generating a policy.
Does it connect to a booking tool?
No. It designs the windows and the wording; you configure whatever booking system you use to match.
How much of the week should be bookable?
Decide the total first based on what the rest of your work needs, then place the windows. Working the other way around fills the week.
What about urgent requests?
Build in a daily reply window. Boundaries hold when people know there is a defined moment they will be heard.
Can it plan coverage for a team?
Yes. Describe everyone's availability and it will check the pattern for gaps rather than looking at each person separately.
How do I communicate the policy?
Ask for the message alongside the policy, then export it. A friendly sentence sent once prevents a great deal of negotiation later.
Availability is the part of time management that involves other people, which is why it resists personal productivity methods entirely. The fix is not discipline, it is publication: deciding the rule once and telling everyone what it is. After that the week defends itself.
