The busywork small business owners know too well

Slow replies lose business

When a potential customer reaches out and you're heads-down on the work, a delayed response can cost you the job. Carly answers scheduling requests in minutes and gets the meeting on the calendar while the lead is still warm.

Follow-ups and your inbox pile up

Quotes, lead replies, and vendor threads fall through the cracks when you're wearing every hat. Carly triages your inbox, follows up on leads and open quotes, and runs the repetitive email workflows you set up in plain English.

Personal and business calendars collide

School pickups, doctor visits, and client meetings all fight for the same hours. Carly checks availability across both calendars and books without creating conflicts.

Carly, a potential client just texted wanting a consultation this week. Set it up and send them what to expect.

Carly

I checked your calendar and texted them three open afternoon slots: Monday at 1 PM, Tuesday at 2 PM, or Thursday at 1:30 PM. Once they pick, I'll send the calendar invite with a Zoom link and a short email covering what to expect and what to bring. I'll also flag it in your nightly schedule the evening before.

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."
