The results

What you get

The AI handles the calendar scanning so you don't have to.

DATA

Real-time availability

The AI pulls your live schedule from Calendly. You get accurate gaps, not outdated snapshots.

PLANNING

Specific time windows

Instead of a messy calendar view, your agent gives you precise start and end times for upcoming meetings.

DECISION

Meeting readiness

The AI identifies which slots are best based on your specific constraints or meeting length.

HUMAN

Final scheduling

The AI finds the times, but you decide which slot to send to the person you're meeting.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from scanning your full schedule to pinpointing the exact gaps you need.

  1. Scan your schedule

    The agent looks at your entire Calendly calendar to see what is currently blocked off.

    list_availability

  2. Identify gaps

    The agent calculates the empty spaces between your existing appointments.

    get_available_times

  3. Filter by duration

    The agent narrows down those gaps to find windows that fit the specific length of your meeting.

  4. Present options
