Simplifying Scheduling with AI Assistant Skej

Introduction

Skej is a new startup that offers an AI assistant to help with scheduling meetings. Unlike other solutions like Calendly, Skej aims to streamline the process by automating the task of finding the best time for everyone to meet.

The Team Behind Skej

  • Founded by Paul Canetti, who previously sold a no-code app development platform
  • Co-founded by his brother Justin Canetti, CTO Anindya Mondal, and Simon Baumer (who sadly passed away)
  • The team has a strong background in meetings startups

How Skej Works

  • Users can add Skej to their email conversations
  • Skej scans both parties' availability without the need to browse through calendars
  • Integrates with Gmail, Outlook, Zoom, and Google Calendar (Outlook Calendar support coming soon)

Ease of Use

  • No app download required
  • Add Skej to your conversation and ask it to find times to meet
  • Allows categorization of contacts for different calendars

Leveraging AI Technology

  • Utilizes LLM models to interpret language in emails and suggest meeting times
  • "Skej brain" acts as a scheduling engine to match different time zones, conflicts, and preferences
  • Helps craft natural language responses for scheduling

Future Plans

  • No plans to develop a standalone app to maintain compatibility with various workflows
  • Focus on user feedback and development of paid tiers in the future

Funding and Current Status

  • Pre-seed investors include Betaworks, Mozilla Ventures, and others
  • Currently in public beta with over 1,000 users
  • Free for now, with plans for a paid tier later on

In summary, Skej offers a simple and efficient solution for scheduling meetings through AI assistance. Its user-friendly approach and focus on automation make it a valuable tool for streamlining the meeting scheduling process.
