About

Think of when you have to set-up a meeting. You need to go through your schedule and then see if the other person is available at the same time as you. This brings a lot of chaos and due to this, you end up having meetings at odd times of the day. What if an app did it for you?? Think of it this way, an app that scans your schedule and the schedule of everyone you want to have a meeting with and gives you a favorable time at which everyone will be available and can fix the meeting for you.

Meet — S scans your and everyone’s schedule and gives you a favorable time at which all of you are available and fix a meeting for you.

Market Demand

Nowadays due to the coronavirus, most things have gone virtual. All the classes, meetings, and conferences are organized on a virtual medium and due to the hectic schedule, it is hard to point out a particular time at which you are available. This sometimes results in having multiple meetings at a particular time which can be a lot of stress. Our app will provide you with a suitable time at which all users who are having the meet are available and can attend the meeting without having multiple meetings at the same time

Relevant Product

Products like Google calendar and Microsoft calendar provide you with a feature to fix a meeting, cancel a meeting, or see the meeting on the calendar. Here we are providing an extra feature in which you will be able to check the time at which all the users who must attend the meeting are available excluding the odd hours. Our product will scan the schedule of every user who has to attend the meeting and give you a suitable time at which you will be able to arrange the meeting.

Target Users

Our main target users are the users who are having regular meetings and classes. Due to Corona Situation, Most of the classes are taken online and are on a strict schedule but sometimes teachers due to some reasons might not be able to take the class at that time and they think of taking the classes at some other time which might be uncomfortable to some students. With our app, teachers will be able to see at what time the students are free and take the class at a convenient time for all of them. Similarly, when a user needs to set a meeting, they will be able to access (With the consent of the other users) the schedule of all the other users and fix a meeting at the time all users are available.

Solution

Meet — S is an app that makes your life much more organized. Our app will check for the free the available in your schedule and bring the time available in both or all your busy schedules. It can be used on any calendar and set up a meeting directly from our app. The app works as such:

· The app will ask you the duration of the meeting you want

· The app will ask the mail of the people you want to have a meeting with

· The app will ask your permission to access your schedule just for seeing the time you are available at

· Similar will happen to the user you selected to have a meeting with

· If people do not respond in time the app will use its algorithm and find a suitable time for the people who responded

· The algorithm used here is that the app will scan for the time everyone is busy and distribute them. Then the app eliminates the time at which anyone is busy. The app will then eliminate the uncomfortable times (like late at night or very early in the morning). Then the app will take out times with the selected duration and gives you the option to select the time frame.

· If you are comfortable with the time it will send the notification to every user invited to the meeting

· You will have the option to set the meeting directly through the app or you can do it your self

Risk Analysis

Two risks might be considered. The first risk is we are unable to connect to Google or Microsoft or any other major companies to use their calendars. The other major risk is this will only be limited to meetings. We can expand our app to add more things like checking your schedule a particular work, but it will take the app in a whole new direction.

Milestone and Timeline

With Meet — S we want to cover the whole world and make a life for you one step more comfortable. We want our app to expand across the world and reach as many people as possible, but we will start with small steps.

We want to bring the app as soon as possible. We have currently not set any Fixed time at which we want to release the app because we do not want to compromise with the performance and give everyone the best experience that we can. Even though we have thought it to be limited to meetings, but we will look at all the advancements that we can make and improve our app more and more.
