Vela

AI Scheduling Assistant for Professional Services

Visit Vela

Vela is an AI scheduling assistant that handles meeting coordination for professionals and teams. It reads calendar availability, negotiates times across participants, and manages rescheduling, addressing the back-and-forth email chains, timezone coordination, and calendar conflicts that come with booking meetings.

Vela works through email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and phone, as well as email threads in Gmail and Outlook. Users start by CC'ing Vela on an email or messaging it directly with a request. Vela pulls availability from all participants, proposes times in each person's timezone, follows up on non-responses, books meetings, sends reminders, and re-coordinates with all parties when changes are needed, updating calendar invites and notifying everyone.

Vela is aimed at professionals such as associates, lawyers, business development staff, and partners or directors who coordinate meetings regularly. Pricing details are not specified on the available pages.
