Smart Meeting Scheduler

Share a link. They pick a time. Done.

The Problem

Scheduling meetings is still painful. "What times work for you?" leads to 5+ back-and-forth emails. Remote teams across time zones make it worse. Calendly and Cal.com work but are bloated with features most people don't need. Small teams want simple scheduling without complexity.

The Solution

A dead-simple meeting scheduler. Connect your calendar, set your availability, share a link. Visitors see available slots in their time zone and book instantly. Auto-creates calendar events and sends reminders. No unnecessary features—just scheduling that works.

How it works:

1

Set availability

Your working hours

2

Share link

name.schedule.app

3

They book

Auto-added to calendars

Market Research

  • Calendly: 10M+ users, valued at $3B—proven demand
  • Cal.com is open-source but complex for simple needs
  • Market fragmented—room for focused, simple tool

AI Prompts to Build This

1. Project Setup

Create a Next.js app for meeting scheduling. Features: - Dashboard: upcoming meetings, booking link - Event types: 15min, 30min, 60min calls with custom names - Availability settings: weekly hours, blocked dates - Public booking page: shows available slots - Calendar sync: Google Calendar and Outlook Use Supabase for auth. Google/Microsoft OAuth for calendar access.

2. Availability Engine

Build the slot calculation system: 1. User sets weekly availability (e.g., Mon-Fri 9am-5pm) 2. Fetch existing events from connected calendars 3. Calculate available slots: availability minus booked events 4. Account for buffer time between meetings (configurable) 5. Display slots in visitor's local timezone 6. Prevent double-booking: lock slot when selected Handle edge cases: holidays, all-day events, out-of-office.

3. Booking Flow

Implement the booking experience: 1. Booking page: clean UI showing date picker and available times 2. Visitor selects slot, enters name and email 3. Optional: custom questions (e.g., "What's this meeting about?") 4. Create calendar event via Google/Microsoft API 5. Send confirmation emails to both parties 6. Send reminder emails: 24 hours and 1 hour before Include cancel/reschedule links in confirmation email.
