Dot booked haircuts on a flexible 4-6 week window without issue (Hermes managed 2/10)

Back in April I set up Hermes to specifically book me haircuts. But not on a regular cadence, in a 4-6 week window, based on priors. It worked... maybe 2/10 times, after tons of configuration and fighting my barber's booking system. I just used a Dot to do it without issue. Game done changed (again).

Nick Mason (@njmason) reports his Dot successfully booked haircuts in a flexible 4-6 week window based on his history, with no issue — contrasted with Hermes, which he configured for the same task in April and which worked only ~2 times out of 10 after heavy setup. Text post, no media.
