In the world of Music Conservatories, practice space is limited and there is a lot of competition to get a room booked. Many places use a niche scheduling product called Asimut specifically tailored to conservatories. Depending on how it is set up, for example, you could book a room 72 hours in advance on a rolling basis - this mean people were always on their phones booking rooms and then extending their booking times.
As you can guess, I wrote a simple python script that lived on a vps and read a schedule and list of my favourite rooms from a text file, would wait until the right time and book/extend for me with my username and password. Never told anyone except my girlfriend, who spent enough time with me to realize I was making bookings without ever looking at my phone!
