The problem it solves

Coordinating interview times over email means endless back and forth checking availability. You end up manually scanning your calendar for open slots and confirming times one candidate at a time.

Who it fits

Hiring managers or recruiters who schedule multiple candidate interviews each week.

How it works

A candidate starts a conversation with the scheduling assistant
It checks your Google Calendar for existing meetings
It offers a list of open 30-minute weekday time slots
The candidate picks a time and shares their contact details
The assistant books the interview on your calendar and confirms it

What you get

A confirmed interview booked directly on your calendar, plus a confirmation message to the candidate.

What you need

A Google account with Calendar access and an OpenAI API key.

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.
