Schedule meetings by CCing Carly
CC Carly on any email thread and she'll read the context, check your Outlook calendar, and propose times to the other party. Once they pick a time, she sends the invite. No booking links, no back-and-forth.
Triage your inbox on demand
Ask Carly "who emailed me recently?" and she'll check your Outlook inbox, summarize what's waiting for you, and flag anything that looks urgent — so you can stay on top of things without opening Outlook.
Draft and send replies from your account
Carly can suggest replies to emails in your Outlook inbox. Review what she drafts, tell her to tweak it or send it as-is, and she'll send the reply directly from your Outlook account.
Manage scheduling across Outlook and Google Calendar
If your team uses Outlook but external contacts use Google Calendar, Carly coordinates across both — no one needs to switch tools.
Why professionals need an AI assistant for Outlook
Outlook is the default email client for most enterprise and mid-market companies. That means high email volume, complex scheduling across time zones, and an inbox that fills up faster than you can process it. Microsoft's built-in Copilot features help with drafting, but they still require you to be inside Outlook clicking buttons.
An AI assistant for Outlook should work the way a human assistant does — you delegate, it executes. That means reading your inbox, summarizing what's waiting, drafting replies you can approve, and handling meeting coordination without you opening the calendar app. That's what professionals are searching for when they look for AI tools for Outlook.
How Carly works as your AI Outlook assistant
Carly connects to your Outlook account at the API level — not as a browser add-in or COM plugin. Once connected, you interact with her over email or text. CC her on a thread to delegate scheduling. Email her to ask who's been trying to reach you. She reads your Outlook inbox, drafts replies in your tone, and sends them from your Outlook address once you approve.
For scheduling, Carly checks your Outlook calendar (and Google Calendar if you use both), finds open slots, and proposes times directly in the email thread. When the other person picks a time, she sends the calendar invite. If your team uses Outlook but an external contact uses Google Calendar, Carly coordinates across both without anyone switching tools.
This is different from Microsoft Copilot, which works inside Outlook's interface. Carly works outside of it — she can pull context from your CRM, spreadsheets, and other connected tools when responding to an email thread.
Who uses Carly with Outlook
Teams on Microsoft 365 who want an AI assistant that works across Outlook and their other tools — not just inside the Outlook window. Sales teams who need to respond to prospects quickly and log interactions to their CRM without switching apps. Executives who get hundreds of emails a day and need someone to surface what matters. If your company runs on Outlook but you still feel buried in email, Carly handles the busywork.

What is the best AI tool for Outlook email?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects to your Outlook account and lets you triage your inbox, draft replies, send emails, and schedule meetings — all by emailing or CCing her. She works at the account level, not as a browser add-in, so it doesn't matter whether you use Outlook on desktop, web, or mobile.
Can AI automate Outlook email and scheduling?
Yes. With Carly, you CC her on any email thread and she reads the conversation, checks your Outlook calendar for availability, and proposes meeting times to the other party. She can also read your inbox, summarize what needs attention, draft replies, and send them from your Outlook address.
How is Carly different from Microsoft Copilot for Outlook?
Microsoft Copilot works inside the Outlook interface — it helps with drafting and summarizing within the app. Carly works outside Outlook as a standalone assistant you email or text. She can cross-reference your inbox with your calendar, CRM, and other connected tools to take action across multiple apps in one exchange.
Can Carly send emails from my Outlook account?
Yes. Carly can send emails directly from your Outlook account so replies come from your address. She can also send from her own Carly address when coordinating scheduling on your behalf — you choose which approach works best.
Does Carly work with Microsoft 365?
Yes. Carly works with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) Outlook accounts, including business and enterprise plans. She connects at the account level, so it works across desktop, web, and mobile.
Can Carly handle scheduling across Outlook and Google Calendar?
Yes. If your team uses Outlook but external contacts use Google Calendar, Carly checks availability across both platforms and coordinates without anyone switching tools. She'll propose times that work for everyone regardless of which calendar system they're on.
