New: Patients can now book direct session from your profile - no commissions

When we launched the public directory of psychologists, patients could find you and contact you. That was fine, but one step was missing: that they could schedule a session directly from your profile, by choosing day, time and mode. Today that is already true.

What changes

Before, a patient looked at your profile, texted you and expected you to respond to coordinate a schedule. Now see your real availability and book directly on an appointment that will serve you. You get the application and confirm it. No WhatsApp back and forth, no "do you have anything on Tuesday?"

The full flow:

1. The patient searches in the directory by specialty, modality or city
2. Enter your profile and see your calendar with the available times of the week
3. Choose an appointment and complete your data (name, email, query reason)
4. You receive the reservation and confirm it or reject it

The patient knows there's a real appointment waiting for him, and you know someone wrote to you who already saw your profile, your focus and your availability.

How the availability looks in your profile

Each directory profile now has an availability section below your bio and specialties. Show:

• Weekly calendar with the next 7 days
• Opening hours per day, in the time zone of Argentina (GMT-3)
• Movement selector: online or face-to-face (if you offer both)
• Season browsing to see future availability

Patients see only appointments that you make available. If a schedule has already been booked, it disappears automatically. You don't have to update anything by hand.

And on the list: "Next appointments"

Not only in the profile. On the search page, every psychologist card now shows the next available appointments. The patient sees something like:

Next appointments: Today 14:00 · Mar 10:00 · Mié 11:00

This completely changes the dynamics: the patient no longer has to enter profile by profile to see who takes place. From the list you can identify who has availability soon and take action.

No commissions - neither now nor ever

This is important and we will repeat it whenever necessary: Brauni does not charge commission for reservations you receive through the directory. Not a percentage, not a fixed fee, nor a "premium plan to unlock reservations".

The session reservation is a feature included in your Brauni plan. If you already pay for the plan, you already have access. If you are on the free 30 day trial, too.

Why? Because we are not a marketplace. We do not compete with you for the patient or keep a part of your work. The directory exists for more people to find a suitable psychologist, and the direct reservation exists for that to be translated into real sessions, not messages that are lost.

The patient reserves, you confirm

Every booking you enter is a request pending confirmation. not automatically confirmed. You decide whether or not to accept each appointment. This gives you total control:

• If a patient book on a schedule that you already occupied by another channel, you can refuse the application.
• If you want to filter for query before accepting, you can do so.
• If you're on vacation and missed an open appointment, it's okay - the reservation awaits your confirmation

The patient receives a clear warning that his appointment is pending confirmation, is unconfirmed. There is no confusion.

Cancellation from email

If a patient needs to cancel, they can do so from the same confirmation email with a single click. Without having to call or send a message to you. The cancellation is immediately reflected and the appointment is again available to other patients.

How to set up your availability

If you already have an account in Brauni:

1. Ingresses to app.brauni.io
2. Go to My Profile → Directory
3. Find the section Agenda Settings

Reservation of sessions is an opt-in functionality: it is only activated if you set your public availability. Patient data (name, email, reason) is shared exclusively with the professional receiving the reservation. Brauni does not access or use this information for any other purpose. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
