Calendly throws its hat into meeting note-taker circus
Calendly is launching a new AI-powered meeting note-taking tool to compete in the crowded productivity software market. The feature will transcribe meetings, generate summaries, and create action items to help users manage post-meeting workflows.
Why it matters
The move signals a shift for scheduling platforms to become comprehensive AI-driven productivity suites, intensifying competition in the enterprise software space.
Note-taking has quickly turned into a critical part of the productivity space, with many workplace software companies chasing the dream of having AI automate tasks based on action items created from meeting transcripts. Calendly, known for its scheduling and meeting booking software, is now entering the fray with a note-taking product.
Like others in the space, Calendly’s note-taker also joins meetings, records the audio and video, and transcribes it, after which it can generate a summary, action items, and draft follow-up emails. The company said it is also testing a Granola-like feature that uses system audio to transcribe meetings.
Calendly is also planning to release an AI assistant named Callie that taps the company’s existing meeting and scheduling stack to set up meetings, check peoples’ availability, and surface context from prior meetings. (Meeting notetaking startup Read AI launched a similar email-based assistant earlier this year .)
