You can probably achieve similar results if you setup your own agent in front of a calendar MCP server, but it took a lot of prompt and tool response refinement to start seeing consistent results. Scheduling larger groups of people, or people across different time zones are some examples of things we needed to optimize for individually.

Our goal here is to offer a turn-key solution that drops into your existing tools and just works out of the box, so you don’t need to build any of those integrations yourself

We’re addressing a different use case from Calendly. Our focus is on automating meeting scheduling for internal teams. We add the most value to projects that have several stakeholders and require discussion across a lot of different teams.

Calendly is more external facing, it’s a great tool for scheduling meetings with people that aren’t in my organization such as inbound sales prospects
