AI Assistant for Founders
You are the CEO, the EA, and the inbox. Carly takes two of those.
Founders lose hours a day to scheduling, inbox triage, and prep they never have time to do. Carly is an AI executive assistant that books your meetings, briefs you before every call, drafts and sends email, and runs the repetitive workflows you set up in plain English.

The busywork founders know too well
Investor and customer meetings need real coordination
You cannot fire a Calendly link at a VC or an enterprise buyer. Carly proposes times over email, text, or WhatsApp like a real assistant, coordinating across Google Calendar and Outlook with anyone regardless of their calendar.
You walk into calls cold
Back-to-back meetings leave no time to research who you are talking to or where a deal stands. Carly researches the person and company beforehand and sends you a short brief, plus your next-day schedule the night before.
Inbox and follow-ups swallow the day
Warm intros go cold and replies pile up while you build. Carly triages your inbox, drafts and sends replies you approve, and handles the repetitive follow-ups so nothing slips.

A founder needs to schedule a follow-up with a VC after a pitch and wants to be prepped
Carly, book 45 min with Mark at a fund next week, morning Pacific. And get me up to speed before the call.
I emailed Mark three morning options for next week (Tuesday 9:00, Wednesday 10:00, Friday 9:30 Pacific) with a Zoom link and a note that this follows your earlier conversation. Once he confirms, I will send you a one-page brief on Mark, his recent investments, and the notes from your last thread the night before.

Frequently asked questions
Why use Carly instead of a booking link for founders?
Booking links feel transactional for high-stakes meetings like investor and customer calls. Carly proposes specific times in a personalized email, text, or WhatsApp message, the same way a human executive assistant would, and coordinates with anyone regardless of their calendar.
What can Carly do beyond scheduling?
Carly researches people and companies and sends you briefs before calls, drafts and sends emails, helps manage your inbox, and runs multi-step workflows you describe in plain English, like sending you tomorrow's schedule every night or following up with prospects who went quiet.
Does Carly connect to the tools I already use?
Yes. Carly integrates natively with 260+ apps including Google Calendar, Outlook, Gmail, Slack, Notion, and HubSpot, and it can reach any other tool by bringing your own API key. There is no app Carly cannot work with.
Can I run Carly from my phone?
Yes. Text or WhatsApp Carly a request and it handles the rest, whether that is booking a meeting, sending an email, or kicking off a workflow. Carly works over email, SMS, and WhatsApp.
How much does Carly cost compared to a virtual assistant?
Carly starts at $35/month. A part-time virtual assistant typically runs $500-2000/month, and Carly covers scheduling, research, email, and workflows for a fraction of that.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
