What your AI app can access on this site.

The connection provides my published work and meeting availability. It keeps private information and appointment booking separate.

I wanted someone exploring my work to be able to use their own AI app. That meant deciding what the app should be able to request and which actions should remain with the person using it.

Information the app can request

A connected app can read my professional profile, résumé, projects, client stories, services, writing, and meeting options. It can also search for relevant work and check available meeting times.

Those requests return information I’ve chosen to publish. They don’t give the app access to the private systems behind my client projects.

Booking stays with you

The app works from what I’ve published. It doesn’t edit the website, open private files, or see the details of events on my calendar. To book a call, you pick and confirm a time yourself on the booking page.

Keeping that final step with you makes it clear which appointment you’re reserving. A suggested time and a confirmed reservation are different things.

A small exception: notes for review

The connection includes a tool for submitting a short note. I review each one before it appears publicly. An app can submit a note for that review, but it cannot publish it directly.

Checking the answer

A direct connection gives an AI app a source to work from; it doesn’t guarantee a correct answer. The setup prompt asks the app to confirm each successful request and to include links, so you can check what it tells you.

If you’d like to try it, the connection guide includes instructions for compatible apps.

Common questions

What can an AI app read from this site?

It can read my published profile, work, résumé, services, writing, and available meeting times.

How do I book a call?

Pick and confirm a time on my booking page at patrickgibbs.dev/connect/. Your AI app can check my open times first, so you know which slots are free before you book.
