Email-based scheduling
Add [email protected] to an email thread and Callie can suggest times, coordinate replies, and book a meeting without moving the conversation into another tool.
Calendly
Calendly now includes Notetaker and Callie, two AI products that help schedule meetings over email, capture notes, and generate recaps and follow-up materials. They are aimed at people and teams that want meeting admin handled in one workflow.
Overview
Calendly is a scheduling platform that now extends beyond booking links with two AI products: Notetaker and Callie. Together, they are designed to handle work before, during, and after meetings, rather than only managing the booking step.
Callie helps schedule meetings over email and can assist inside Calendly with preparation and meeting-related questions. Notetaker joins supported video meetings, records and transcribes them, and turns the conversation into recaps, action items, and follow-up drafts.
Core capabilities
Context-aware scheduling changes
Callie can work with default meeting details, then adapt to one-off changes such as a different time, duration, location, or availability window.
In-app meeting assistance
Inside Calendly, Ask Callie can help with meeting prep, recall details from past conversations, and surface next steps using your schedule, contact profiles, meeting history, and prior notes.
Automated meeting capture
Notetaker can join Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings, record and transcribe them, and produce a recap with summary, key points, and action items.
Recaps and follow-up materials
After a meeting, Calendly can generate a pre-drafted follow-up email and share recaps through passcode-protected links, with downloadable transcripts on supported plans.
Connected meeting workflow
On Standard Plus and Teams Plus, the product is positioned as part of a broader Calendly workflow that also includes scheduling, meeting handling, and post-meeting follow-up in one place.
Where it fits
Sales scheduling and follow-up
Sales reps can ask Callie to find a time over email, then use Notetaker recaps and drafted follow-up emails to move quickly after the call.
Handling exceptions to standard scheduling
Managers or operators who handle many recurring meetings can use Callie for one-off scheduling changes without rebuilding their setup or switching tools.
Cross-platform meeting notes
People who join meetings across different platforms can use Notetaker to capture notes and action items even when the meeting was not created in Calendly.
Meeting preparation in one place
Individual users can rely on Ask Callie in Calendly to prepare for a meeting by surfacing context from contact profiles, meeting history, and past notes.
End-to-end meeting workflow for teams
Teams on paid plans can keep meetings moving by combining scheduling, notes, transcripts, and post-meeting follow-up in a single Calendly workflow.
