Fyxer AI can detect when you are trying to schedule an event such as a call, meeting, coffee, etc. and help propose times it thinks you and your team will like.

How can Fyxer AI Help?

  • When someone emails you asking to schedule a call or event, Fyxer AI will consult your calendar for availability and select some times based on your calendar habits

  • The draft Fyxer AI then writes in your inbox, will include information about:

    • your wider availability,

    • your preferred slots,

    • the timezones of you and your team,

    • and even the availability of any calendars you have access to on the call.

  • You'll also (depending on your settings) receive a private email from our Fyxer AI address showing you the times we proposed and any events you also have that day - just to give you an idea of what you're up to around those times, without you having to open your calendar!

Can Fyxer AI create events for me?

  • We do not currently add anything to your calendar(s) without your consent,

  • We do create pre-filled links which when clicked will make an event for you.

  • These can be found in the form of 'Create Event' buttons in the Slot Suggestion emails.

What calendars can I connect?

  • We work seamlessly with Google and Outlook calendars.

What if I have multiple calendars?

  • You can connect multiple calendars to your Fyxer account, both from Outlook and Google Cal. We will consult all your calendars when we select slots for a meeting to avoid picking a time you can't actually make.

  • When multiple calendars are connected, we will use the one with a matching email address to your Fyxer AI account to choose a 'primary calendar' which we will use for making new events, reading your timezone, etc.

    • (if no connected calendars match your Fyxer AI account, we just use the first one you added)

Why do the times in the 'Create Event' buttons not match the ones in the draft?

  • While this could be an error on our side, the most likely cause for this is a timezone difference between yourself and the person you are meeting with.

  • The draft we write will prioritise using the attendee's timezone, which can make times themselves look different to the ones we are putting in your calendar.

How did the AI know my colleague was free at a time?

  • Before drafting, our AI will check if you have access to any of the invitee's calendars through your Google/Outlook account,

  • We then use their availability to help pick times that work for everyone.

  • We do not modify any permissions with regards to what calendars you have access to, nor do we modify the permissions of other people to view your calendar.

    • Example: If you can see your colleague's availability but not the details of their events, we will use that availability to pick times they can attend, but will also not be able to see the details of their events.

  • You can tell FyxerAI about any future travel plans you have by making an all-day event with a name beginning with "tz:" and then the location you are travelling to.

    • Example: If you have a week-long event called "tz: New York", Fyxer AI will use ET to schedule your meetings for that week.o schedule your meetings for that week.


Here is an example video for how calendar slots work:


Not shown in the video: You'll also be given "slots"


These slots are highlighted so you don't need to check your calendar and given you context for when you can make the meeting
