Introducing the New Calendly
Say hello to the new Calendly! Meetings are essential, but the work around them adds up fast. 😅 That's why we're launching an evolved Calendly. One that handles not just scheduling, but all of the work before, during, and after your meetings, so you can focus on what matters. The New Calendly includes: *Before the Meeting* Callie, an AI assistant, handles all the scheduling coordination. Just add callie@calendly.com to email threads and Callie finds times that work for everyone. You can also chat with Callie in Calendly to generate your meeting prep from contact profiles, meeting history, and past notes. *During the Meeting* Calendly Notetaker automatically records and transcribes meeting notes, so you can stay fully present and engaged. It works seamlessly with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. *After the Meeting* Notetaker generates automatic recaps with summaries, key points, and action items — plus pre-drafted follow-up emails ready to send. You can also ask Callie questions about past meetings to surface context instantly. Your entire meeting lifecycle is now connected in one platform. It's Calendly. It's easy. And it works where you already work!
