What is Sked?
Juggling calendars and coordinating with colleagues to find that elusive meeting slot can often feel like a full-time job. The back-and-forth, the endless clicking, the mental gymnastics of time zones and availability – it's a common frustration that eats into your productive hours. What if you could reclaim that time and streamline the entire process without ever leaving Slack?
Sked is an AI scheduling assistant built directly into Slack to take the headache out of arranging your meetings. With simple, intuitive commands, you can find open slots, book appointments, and reschedule calls in seconds, letting you focus on what truly matters.
Here's How Sked Simplifies Your Scheduling:
🗓️ Discover Open Calendar Slots Instantly Ask /Sked to find an hour with specific colleagues for tomorrow. The AI intelligently scans calendars and suggests the best available times, even offering 30 or 45-minute alternatives if a full hour isn't free.
💬 Book Meetings Directly from Slack Tell /Sked to book a 45-minute slot at 5 pm with your team members. If you provide context for the call, Sked will even auto-fill the meeting title; otherwise, it defaults to a friendly "Catch up."
🔄 Reschedule with Ease Plans change. If a teammate can't make it, simply tell /Sked to move your 5 pm call to a new time. It handles rescheduling for multiple attendees just as smoothly.
👀 Plan Meetings with Better Insight Curious about a colleague's availability for a potential meeting? Use /Sked to view their calendar for a specific day, helping you propose informed meeting times without leaving Slack.
🤫 Operate Discreetly Anywhere in Slack All /Sked commands are visible only to you. Feel free to use them in public channels, direct messages, or the Sked app itself – your scheduling activities remain private.
👍 Respond to Invites on the Go Quickly accept, decline, or tentatively respond to Google Calendar event invites directly from Slack notifications. Each response saves you a few precious seconds.
🧘 Manage Your Own Time Effectively Need to carve out some uninterrupted work time? Check your own calendar and block out focus periods whenever you need, all through simple Sked commands.
