Probably not for the whole job, but AI will likely replace a lot of the routine parts.

If someone’s main work is simple appointment scheduling, AI can already handle a lot of the repetitive admin: checking calendars, proposing times, sending reminders, and rescheduling when nothing unusual is going on. That means fewer jobs focused only on basic scheduling.

Humans are still more important when the scheduling is tied to persuasion, customer relationships, exceptions, or higher-stakes situations. For example, booking sales meetings, handling objections, calming concerns, or working through messy scheduling constraints usually needs judgment and social skill.

So the most likely outcome is hybrid rather than total replacement: AI handles the straightforward scheduling, while humans handle the conversations and edge cases that need trust, context, and persuasion.

If you mean pure appointment booking, then yes, that work is the most exposed to automation over time. If you mean roles that involve qualifying people or convincing them to book, then not fully.
