"The bot confirms a slot on Tuesday at 2 PM, but my appointment is not booked." "The AI gives me the technician's mobile number." "The chatbot says the installer will come tomorrow without checking the partner status." Three failures where a poorly calibrated installation appointment bot invents slots or externalizes the customer support.
An AI chatbot for installation appointments is not a replacement for PARTINST agents (#625). It reads PARTINST-MAP, lookups install_status API, cites the prep checklist, and hands off post-install no-shows to human agents.
This guide #626 covers intents bot_partinst_*, flow PARTINSTbot, and KPI partinst_bot. Peer bot of playbook PARTINST (#625). New AI usecase: booking prep appointment tracking without promising slots or exposing technician.
Summary
Why automate the installation appointment with a bot?
"How to book an appointment?", "what to prepare before the installer arrives?", and "when is my installation?" represent a major share of pre-no-show partner installation tickets. A calibrated bot cites booking_url prep_checklist and install_status API without promising a made-up date.
What the bot resolves at tier 1
Explain model: customer_copy partner install_sla map
Booking guide: booking_method booking_url portal link
Preparation: prep_checklist cited before the appointment
Appointment status: scheduled completed API lookup
After-sales contact: sav_responsible_party shop_primary
ServiceTitan notes that field service status visibility reduces customer follow-ups by 30 to 50% (ServiceTitan, home services 2026). The bot intercepts bot_partinst_status before NO-SLOT-PROMISE violation.
PARTINSTbot vs PARTINST #625, DIY #228, onboarding bot and bulky #290
Five contents, five distinct installation angles.
Quick matrix
#626 PARTINSTbot: tier 1 bot booking prep appointment status handoff
#625 PARTINST: no-show agents post-install escalate partner
DIY Installation #228: assembly tutorials INS-* distinct partner
Onboarding bot #179: self-service product setup distinct from appointment
Bulky #290: time slot delivery without partner install
Pipeline: booking prep bot status tier 1 → #625 no-show reschedule post-install escalate.
Which bot_partinst_* intents should be configured?
Eight installation appointment bot intents mapped to partinst_* typologies #625.
Eight bot_partinst intents
