Introducing Carly: Your Humanized AI Calendar Assistant

Today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of Carly - our AI calendar assistant with a personal touch.

Why Carly?

We've heard your feedback: while you love CalBot's capabilities, some of you prefer a more humanized interaction when CCing an assistant on emails. That's why we created Carly.

Carly is CalBot at heart - the same intelligent scheduling engine, instant responses, and seamless calendar management you've come to rely on. But now, when you CC your assistant, it's:

  • "Carly" instead of a bot email address
  • A friendly profile photo in email threads
  • A name that feels natural in professional communication

Same Power, Friendlier Face

When you CC Carly on an email thread, your colleagues see a professional assistant helping coordinate schedules. Behind the scenes, you get:

  • Instant availability checking
  • Smart meeting time proposals
  • Automatic rescheduling when conflicts arise
  • Web search for research
  • Natural, professional communication

Perfect for Professional Settings

Carly shines in scenarios where a human touch matters:

  • Client meetings - "Let me loop in Carly to find a time that works"
  • Executive scheduling - A professional assistant presence
  • External coordination - Natural for recipients who haven't met AI assistants before

How to Get Started with Carly

If you're already a CalBot user, activating Carly is simple:

  1. Visit your dashboard
  2. Click on the "Choose Assistant" button
  3. Start emailing the Carly address it shows instead of the CalBot address

You can continue using CalBot too - that email will always work. Now you have the option of also using Carly.

The Future of AI Assistants

Carly represents our belief that AI assistants should adapt to how you work, not the other way around. Some users love the clarity of "CalBot" - others prefer the professional polish of "Carly."

We're giving you both options because scheduling is personal, and your AI assistant should be too.
