Like a trusted advisor. **(Default)** | | `direct_confident` | No fluff. 3 punchy sentences. | | `curious_consultative` | Question-led. Low pressure. | | `casual_peer` | Founder-to-founder. Very short.

It reads email threads and books meetings automatically — no back-and-forth, no links, no time zone math. Teams like yours are recovering 2–3 hours a week per person. Worth a 10-minute look? I can demo it on your actual calendar. Jordan Kim Co-founder, ScheduleAI --- **LinkedIn DM:** Maria — your post about async work resonated. Scheduling is the silent async killer most people don't fix. We built a tool that books meetings straight from email threads — zero back-and-forth. Teams are saving 2+ hours a week.
