Best AI Assistant for Google Calendar
Connect Carly to Google Calendar to schedule meetings from email threads, hold focus time, reschedule without the back-and-forth, and get briefed before every call — by emailing or texting Carly.

Schedule from inside the email thread
CC Carly on any thread and she reads the context, checks your Google Calendar, and proposes times to the other party. When they agree, she creates the event, adds a Google Meet link, and sends the invite — you never open the calendar.
Reschedule without the back-and-forth
Something moves and you tell Carly in a sentence. She finds a new slot that works for everyone, updates the Google Calendar event, and notifies the attendees with the change and a short explanation.
Protect focus time before it disappears
Ask Carly to hold Thursday mornings for deep work or block travel time around an offsite, and she puts the holds on your calendar. Because she schedules against your real availability, those blocks actually defend the time.
Turn emails into calendar events
Forward a flight confirmation, a dinner reservation, or a project deadline and Carly creates the event with the right date, time, and time zone — including the details you'd otherwise retype.
Get briefed before every meeting
Ask Carly what's on today and she pulls the calendar together with the context behind it: who you're meeting, what the last thread said, what was outstanding from the previous call.
Share availability without a booking link
Ask Carly to send someone your open slots and she writes the times into the email in plain language. For the cases where a link is faster, she gives you a booking page backed by the same live calendar.
Why Google Calendar still costs you an hour a day
Google Calendar is very good at showing you where your time went. It is not good at protecting it. Every meeting still starts with the same exchange — three proposed times, one that turns out to be a holiday, a reply that arrives after the slot is gone. You open the grid, count backwards across time zones, paste availability into an email, and do it again the next day.
The grid is honest but passive. It records what you agreed to; it does not negotiate on your behalf, notice that you accepted two things at once, or tell you the person you are meeting in twenty minutes emailed yesterday with a change of plan. That gap between what the calendar knows and what you needed it to do is where the hour goes.
How Carly works as your AI Google Calendar assistant
Carly connects to your Google Calendar through the Google API. Once linked, you run your calendar over email and text — no dashboard to learn, no app to install.
CC Carly on a thread and she reads the conversation, checks your real availability, and proposes times to the other side directly in the email. When they pick one, she creates the event, adds a Google Meet link, and sends the invite. If someone needs to move it, they tell Carly and she updates the event and notifies everyone.
She also works in the other direction. Forward a flight confirmation and it becomes an event with the right times. Ask her to protect Thursday mornings and she blocks them. Ask what your day looks like and you get a brief with the context — who you're meeting, the recent thread, what's still open from last time.
Carly acts on her own once you've asked. She isn't a chat window waiting for you to approve each step.
Scheduling across two calendars without double-booking
Most people with a work life and a personal life have their time split across two accounts, and the conflicts land in the gap. Carly reads Google Calendar and Outlook together, so availability is calculated across both. A dentist appointment on your personal Google account blocks the slot on your work calendar without exposing what it is.
The same applies across time zones. You say "sometime Tuesday afternoon their time" and Carly does the conversion, checks the result against your real availability, and proposes only slots that are genuinely free on both sides.
Booking pages, when a link is the faster answer
Sometimes negotiating over email is the wrong tool and you just want to send a link. Carly includes booking pages at no cost — a shareable page backed by your live Google Calendar availability, so the slots on offer are always real and a booking writes straight to your calendar.
The difference from a standalone booking tool is that the link is one option rather than the only one. For a client who would find a booking link presumptuous, Carly negotiates in the thread like a person would. For the twelve people who just need a slot, you send the link. Same assistant, same calendar, no second subscription.
Who uses Carly with Google Calendar
Founders and executives whose calendar is the constraint on everything else. Consultants and agency owners scheduling across clients who all use different tools. Recruiters running many first-round calls a week. Solo practitioners — lawyers, therapists, advisors — who need appointments booked reliably without hiring an assistant to do it.
The common thread is that scheduling is not the job, but it keeps eating the day. Carly starts at $35/month, which is the point at which most people find it cheaper than the hour it gives back.

Get Started →Frequently asked questions
How does Carly connect to Google Calendar?
Authorize your Google account in the Carly dashboard. Once connected, Carly can read your availability, create and update events, send invites, and add Google Meet links — all through the official Google Calendar API.
Can Carly schedule meetings without me being involved?
Yes. CC Carly on a thread and she negotiates times with the other person directly, then books the event and sends the invite. You don't have to approve each step, though she'll keep you copied so you can see what's happening.
Does Carly work with both Google Calendar and Outlook?
Yes, and at the same time. Carly calculates availability across both calendars, so a commitment on one blocks the slot on the other and you don't get double-booked between your work and personal accounts.
Can Carly handle time zones?
Yes. Tell her the meeting should land in someone's afternoon and she converts to their time zone, checks the result against your real availability, and proposes only slots that work on both ends.
Does Carly add Google Meet links automatically?
Yes. When Carly creates an event on your Google Calendar she includes a Google Meet link in the invite by default. You can also ask her to add one to an event that already exists.
What happens if someone needs to reschedule?
They can reply to Carly directly. She finds a new time that works for everyone, updates the Google Calendar event, and notifies the attendees — you'll see the change in a summary rather than a chain of emails.
Do I need Google Workspace, or does a personal account work?
Both work. Carly connects to personal Google accounts and Google Workspace accounts the same way, and you can connect more than one so availability is calculated across all of them.
How much does it cost?
Carly starts at $35/month, and booking pages are included at no extra cost. Non-AI workflow steps aren't metered — you can build unlimited Zapier-style workflows for free.
Ready to automate your busywork?
Carly schedules, researches, and briefs you—so you can focus on what matters.
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."
