Schedule meetings without the back-and-forth

“Finding a time with someone takes ten emails.”

AI can read the request, check your calendar (including travel time), and draft a reply with times plus the invite. You approve before it sends or books.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Connect your calendar, or paste your free times for the week.
Forward or paste the scheduling request and say any limits (no mornings, travel time).
Approve the draft reply and the invite.

Copy this prompt

Here's a meeting request: [email]. My calendar for [dates]: [free/busy or connected]. Propose 3 times that fit, leaving [travel/buffer] time. Draft a short reply offering them and a calendar invite for when one is accepted. Don't send or create anything — stop for my OK.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
