⚡️ Scheduling Meetings 101

Skej works just like a human scheduling assistant. Simply add Skej to any email thread with your scheduling request.

➕ Cc'ing Skej

Skej's default email address is [email protected].

This email is different if you choose an assistant like Lexy ([email protected]) or a custom assistant that you set up on a custom email address.

To activate your Skej assistant, all you need to do is add it to the thread and send it your scheduling request. From there, the assistant will read the messages and reply back with an appropriate response to the request.

How Scheduling With Skej Works

A typical scheduling conversation with your Skej assistant works like this.

You loop the assistant in when you want to book a meeting. Write to it in the body of the email, and include everyone who will be in the meeting on the thread. It can be a new email thread, or you can CC the assistant into an existing thread.

↳ Skej - Can you help us book a meeting for next week?
Your assistant replies with suggested meeting times, using your calendar availability, preferences, and any specific details you gave it.

↳ Here are some times for next week:
30 min meeting (times in EST)
Mon, Sept 8: 5pm, 7pm
Tue, Sept 9: 6pm, 7pm
The meeting attendees can confirm one of the proposed times, ask for new times, or propose alternative times. Your assistant handles the back-and-forth until a time is confirmed. Then it sends the calendar invites to everyone.
If anyone needs to reschedule, cancel, or modify the meeting, they can just ask and your assistant will handle the changes!

🗣️ How to Talk to Your Assistant

You can talk to your assistant using normal conversational language. Skej utilizes cutting edge LLM capabilities to understand over 100 languages—not just English. You should still aim to be clear and detailed in your requests.

Always address your assistant directly with your request, both so it knows you're talking to it, and also to alert other people on the thread that it will respond with next steps.

Skej makes scheduling decisions using your default availability and scheduling preferences, as configured in your Preferences, unless you tell it otherwise.

The more details you give your assistant, the better the results will be. Make sure to include these details if you have them:

Meeting date ranges - like "next week" or "tomorrow morning"

Duration - If none is given, then Skej will use your default meeting duration.

Virtual or in-person - If you mention a location, Skej can add it to the meeting or determine the length of the meeting using keywords like "lunch" or "coffee".

⚠️ Time Zones

If people in the meeting are in a different time zone than you are, let your assistant know. Otherwise, Skej will offer times that work for you, but may be inconvenient for them.

💬 Scheduling from a DM

You can initiate a new meeting (or any other task) by writing a 1:1 email to Skej.

If you ask Skej to book a time with someone via a 1:1 message, Skej will email that person on your behalf to coordinate.

🗓️ Rescheduling or Cancelling?

If you need to cancel or reschedule a meeting, just ask your assistant and it will manage the change, letting everyone know. You can do this in the thread with the meeting attendees or via DM.
