You say who and when. Lindy finds the time, sends the invite, and puts it on your calendar. No scheduling links, no back-and-forth emails. ## Auto Drafting When someone emails you about scheduling a meeting, Lindy detects the request and offers times in a draft reply on your behalf. Your recipient picks one in a single click and the meeting drops onto both calendars. * When someone emails to schedule, Lindy offers times in a draft reply * Recipients book a slot in one click — no back-and-forth * Save \~3 minutes per invite Lindy detects the scheduling request and takes over — no action needed from you. Incoming email requesting a meeting Based on your preferred hours, buffer time, meeting length, and calendar availability, Lindy drafts a reply with three open slots as clickable links. Lindy's draft reply with 3 available time slots When the other person clicks a link, the meeting is automatically added to both calendars. No back-and-forth, no scheduling tools, no manual entry. Meeting booked on calendar after clicking a time slot ### Custom Scheduling Rules Set your scheduling rules in **Settings → Scheduling** in natural language — preferred hours, buffers, blocked times, meeting types, anything that should apply to every auto-drafted reply. ## Ad Hoc Scheduling When you want Lindy to handle scheduling on your behalf, just ask. Text or message her and she'll find the time, reach out, and lock it in. Texting Lindy 'Set up time with Matt to review the proposal' and getting back 'Done. Reached out to Matt with a few options.' alongside Lindy's drafted Gmail reply with time slots ### Add or Update Events on the Fly Use Lindy to add events to your calendar or change them with one line of text: * "Add a meeting location" * "Pick a restaurant for the client dinner" * "Swap the venue and notify attendees" * "Move my 2pm to Thursday" * "Cancel my call with \[name]" Send Lindy a screenshot of a text conversation and she'll pull the meeting details onto the right day. ### End-to-End Outreach Or send Lindy on a mission and let her run the whole loop: > "Find time with Bob on Saturday" She'll reach out, propose times, lock the meeting in, and add it to your calendar. ### Recurring Routines Set up recurring workflows with one text: > "Every week, audit my calendar and make sure I have a 45-min walk break at least once a day" ### Internal Calendars Lindy can check any teammate's calendar that's shared with your workspace, so you can ask her to find time between people on your team without any back-and-forth. Texting Lindy 'help me find 15 to meet with Alice' and getting back an 'Added Thursday' card with a Proposal follow up event Thursday 10:30 - 10:45 AM, You + Alice, created by Lindy ## How to Delegate * **iMessage / SMS**: "Book a call with Sarah next Tuesday afternoon" * **Web app**: chat at [chat.lindy.ai](https://chat.lindy.ai) Scheduling over text is the fastest option. Lindy already knows your calendar and preferences, so a simple text is all it takes. ## Next Steps Get context before every meeting Everything you can delegate by texting Lindy
