Questions before applying?
Short, practical answers for both the managed setup and the self-setup kit.
What is Sheldon?
Sheldon is a scheduling automation product for small music schools. Right now it has two offer tracks: a managed remote setup and a lower-priced self-setup kit for technical buyers.
Is this software my teachers need to install?
No. Teachers do not need to install desktop software.
What is the managed setup option?
The managed setup is the main offer. We configure the scheduling workflow remotely around the tools your studio already uses, such as Google Calendar, Gmail, and Google Sheets.
What is the self-setup kit?
The self-setup kit is the lower-priced technical option. It includes the skills, templates, docs, and workflow guidance needed to run the system yourself.
Do I need OpenClaw for the self-setup kit?
Yes. If you buy the self-setup kit, you need OpenClaw set up already, or be willing to install and configure it yourself.
Do I need an LLM provider for the self-setup kit?
Yes. The self-setup kit assumes you will provide your own model/provider access.
Do I need OpenClaw for the managed setup?
Not as a buyer-facing requirement. The managed setup is sold as an outcome-focused service, not as an infrastructure product.
What does the managed setup include?
The managed setup includes teacher calendar mapping, reminder emails, reschedule request intake, weekly admin digest, and exception flagging for manual review.
What is not included?
The managed setup does not include SMS reminders, payments or invoicing, student self-booking, non-Google stacks, or custom enterprise workflows.
Do you need to come onsite?
No. The managed setup is remote-only.
Can this work for businesses outside music schools?
Possibly later. Right now the offer is focused on music schools so the workflow stays narrow, reliable, and well supported.
