The present continuous is often used to talk about appointments or things we have arranged to do in the future. We generally use it with a future time phrase:
What are you doing on Friday afternoon? (What have you arranged to do?)
I am seeing the accountants. (I have arranged to see them.)
We do not use the present continuous with stative verbs.
