The problem it solves

You get emails asking for a meeting and have to stop what you're doing to check your calendar and type back some available times. It eats into your day and slows down scheduling for everyone waiting on you.

Who it fits

Any small business owner or manager who fields meeting requests by email.

How it works

  1. Triggers when a new email arrives in Gmail asking for a meeting
  2. AI reads the email to understand the request
  3. It checks your Google Calendar for open time slots
  4. It drafts a reply email suggesting available times
  5. The reply is sent back to the person who asked
What you get

Meeting requests answered with real open times

New meeting request emails are read, checked against your calendar, and answered with open times you're actually free for.

What you get

A sent email reply offering specific open meeting times.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Calendar, and an OpenAI account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
