Personal API

Apparently my coffee order needed an API.

I made five small endpoints so people and AI agents don't have to guess how to book time with me, get hands-on AI help, order my coffee, check my shirt size, or send a question.

What it knows

Here are the five things it knows.

Book a quick intro or a one-hour working session, get my coffee right, check my shirt size, or ask about the API.

GET

Availability

See when I'm free and book a 30-minute intro.

One response

Yes, the coffee cutoff is real.

This endpoint returns the order and the limits. Anything else is a guess.
