Calendar Concierge
A calendar concierge is an agent that reads calendar context, proposes meeting times, drafts invites, and resolves conflicts on the owner’s behalf.
In plain English
A calendar concierge is like a very competent scheduling assistant. Someone emails asking for time; the concierge reads the context, checks the calendar, proposes two or three slots that match the owner's rules (no mornings, no meetings after 5pm, minimum buffer between calls), drafts the reply, and on acceptance books the slot and sends the invite. For reschedules and cancellations it does the same in reverse.
The value is not the minutes saved per meeting — it is the context switch avoided. Every time an owner opens their calendar mid-flow to play Tetris with a 45-minute slot, they lose twenty minutes of real work to recovery. A concierge holds all of that in its head so the owner never has to.
Why it matters for Black Box
Black Box ships a calendar-concierge capability that reads Google Calendar with the owner's consent, holds their preferences and availability rules, and handles the full scheduling round-trip. Like other sends, its outbound replies route through the Approval Inbox by default until the owner trusts the pattern.
Examples
- Proposing three slots honoring a "no Monday meetings" rule.
- Detecting a conflict and offering to reschedule the lower-priority meeting.
- Booking a call across time zones with the right local times in the invite.
