Calendly throws its hat into meeting note-taker circus

Note-taking has quickly turned into a critical part of the productivity space, with many workplace software companies chasing the dream of having AI automate tasks based on action items created from meeting transcripts. Calendly, known for its scheduling and meeting booking software, is now entering the fray with a note-taking product.

Like others in the space, Calendly’s note-taker also joins meetings, records the audio and video, and transcribes it, after which it can generate a summary and action items, and draft follow-up emails. The company said it is also testing a Granola-like feature that uses system audio to transcribe meetings. Calendly is also planning to release an AI assistant named Callie that taps the company’s existing meeting and scheduling stack to set up meetings, check peoples’ availability, and surface context from prior meetings.
