Introducing Shimaya: AI-Powered Booking for Independent Consultants

We built Shimaya because great consultants deserve great tools. Here's our story and what we're building.

The Shimaya Team

Independent business consultants are some of the most capable professionals in the world. They've spent years building expertise, growing networks, and delivering real results. But too often, the operational side of running a consulting practice — booking appointments, tracking clients, managing schedules — gets in the way of the actual work.

That's why we built Shimaya.

What Shimaya does

Shimaya is an AI-powered booking and client management platform designed specifically for independent consultants. At its core, it does three things:

  • Books appointments automatically. Your AI agent talks to prospects, understands what they need, collects their contact details, and books a session — all without you lifting a finger.
  • Manages your clients. Every booking feeds a clean client directory with history, notes, and contact information.
  • Runs on your website. Embed a booking widget on your existing site in minutes, or share your personal Shimaya booking page directly.

Why we built it this way

Most booking tools treat you like a dentist — pick a time, pay, confirm. That works for simple transactional services. But consulting is different. Prospects want to explain their situation. They have questions. They need to feel understood before they'll commit to a session.

Our AI agent handles that conversation naturally. It asks the right questions, recommends the right service, and guides prospects through booking at their own pace. The result: higher conversion rates and better-qualified clients arriving in your calendar.

What's next

We're just getting started. Calendar sync, team workspaces, advanced analytics, and deeper integrations are on the roadmap. We're building Shimaya with our consultants, not just for them — so your feedback shapes what we build next.
