Can AI replace Zeeg?
KINDA · weekend projectThe visible scheduling + routing loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Zeeg earns its keep through OAuth, calendar reliability, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.
Build a deliberately narrow personal substitute for Zeeg, not a full clone. Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + SQLite. Primary job: Build a personal scheduling + routing tool that reads one calendar, publishes availability, reserves a slot, and writes the event back. Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project. Make the default mode single-user and private. Store user data locally unless the core job requires the declared self-hosted database. Do not add analytics, telemetry, ads, or third-party accounts. Put every secret and external credential in .env and provide .env.example. Use realistic sample data that is clearly labelled and easy to delete. Implement the smallest polished interface that completes the core loop end to end. Include clear empty, loading, validation, success, and failure states. Add import and export so the user is not trapped in the app. Use accessible keyboard navigation, labels, focus states, and sensible contrast. Validate untrusted input and never log secrets or private file contents. Deliberately exclude these paid-product advantages: race-free booking under load; team routing and round robin; reliable reminders and timezone edge cases. Do not fake integrations, network effects, proprietary data, model quality, compliance, or security claims. Where an external API is optional, keep the app useful without it and explain the degraded mode. Write focused unit tests for the data model and the most important workflow. Add one end-to-end smoke test that proves the core loop works. Create a README with setup, permissions, architecture, data location, backup, and limitations. Add scripts for install, development, test, build, and a production-style local run. Run the tests and build before finishing, then fix errors rather than merely describing them.

Can AI replace Zeeg?
Kinda. The core of Zeeg is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: race-free booking under load, team routing and round robin. Read the honest list above before committing.
How much does Zeeg cost?
Zeeg's pricing is usage-based or varies by plan — The official pricing URL is recorded, but a stable current amount was not safely recoverable in this pass. Do not publish a number until rechecked..
What do I lose by replacing Zeeg?
Honestly: race-free booking under load; team routing and round robin; reliable reminders and timezone edge cases; calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness; multi-calendar conflict handling. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Zeeg?
Yes — Cal.com (Mature open-source scheduling platform and OAuth reference.). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
