Calendar

Suggesting times

How alfred_ proposes meeting times — single-person availability, mutual availability, and email-thread integration.

When you need to send someone availability, alfred_ does the calendar math for you and writes the email.

Single-person availability (“when am I free?”)

Ask alfred_ for your own openings:

  • “When am I free for an hour this week?”
  • “What do I have open Tuesday afternoon?”
  • “Find me three 30-min slots between Wednesday and Friday”

alfred_ returns slots that respect:

  • Existing meetings on all connected calendars
  • Your working hours / quiet hours
  • Buffer preferences (gap between meetings)
  • Focus time blocks you’ve protected

Mutual availability (“when do we all have time?”)

For meetings with people who share calendars with you (or are at the same Workspace):

  • “Find 30 minutes that works for me, John, and Sarah next week”
  • “When can the four of us meet for an hour before Friday?”

alfred_ checks all attendees’ calendars and returns the slots where everyone is free.

Generating availability for an email reply

When someone asks “when can we meet?”, you can ask alfred_ to handle the reply:

  • “Reply with three 30-min options next Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon”
  • “Send my availability for a 1-hour call next week”

alfred_ writes the reply with concrete times, formatted properly, and waits for your approval.

Conflict-aware proposals

If you want alfred_ to also propose times that would require moving an existing meeting (because you’d rather take the new one):

  • “Find time for Marc this week, even if it means moving lower-priority stuff”

alfred_ surfaces options and explains tradeoffs.
