Carly’s AI assistant transforms the scheduling process by combining the efficiency of tools like Calendly with advanced natural language processing akin to ChatGPT. Users can include Carly in email threads, and the assistant autonomously proposes meeting times, sends calendar invitations, and manages rescheduling requests. This approach ensures a seamless and personalized experience, unlike traditional booking links that can feel impersonal or rigid. Carly also supports scheduling via SMS and can process event details from images and PDFs, enhancing flexibility for users.
Scheduling often disrupts productivity, requiring time-consuming back-and-forth communication and manual calendar management. Carly addresses these pain points by automating routine tasks while maintaining a human touch. “Scheduling is a tax on productivity,” said Sarah Warman Hirschfield, founder of Carly. “Back-and-forth emailing, cross-referencing calendars, and manually adding events require time and brainpower. Personal assistants are great because they can take these necessary and nuanced yet routine tasks off your plate.” With Carly, users can focus on high-value tasks, leaving coordination to the AI.
Carly has already scheduled thousands of events for a diverse clientele, including startup founders, sales professionals, parents, and professors. The assistant’s ability to integrate with everyday tools like email and SMS makes it accessible and practical for users across industries. Unlike earlier email-based assistants like X.ai and Clara Labs, which were discontinued post-acquisition, Carly leverages the latest AI advancements to deliver a robust and reliable solution.
Carly aims to redefine the standards for AI-driven personal assistants. “Our goal is to continue to raise the bar for how good AI can be,” said Hirschfield. “First, we want to surpass human personal assistants on every metric that matters. Carly is fast and accurate, but can she have the best personality, can she think a thousand steps ahead? Second, we want to expand Carly’s job responsibilities. Currently, she can search the web to find coffee shops and do research. Next, she will be able to make reservations, book flights, and more.” The company is committed to a zero-mistake approach, prioritizing quality and exceptional customer service.
By setting ambitious goals, Carly seeks to lead the resurgence of AI-powered scheduling assistants, offering a scalable solution that enhances productivity for businesses and individuals. As the company expands its capabilities, it aims to become an indispensable tool for managing not just meetings but a wide range of logistical tasks.
Carly, the company providing personal assistants for scheduling, today announced the public launch of its AI-powered assistant that coordinates, schedules, and manages calendar events with human-level quality.
