Welcome to the 3.4 changelog. We have several significant new features this month, as well as a huge and game-changing announcement for scheduling.
Meet Cal.ai, your new virtual assistant
Introducing Cal.ai, a new product that supercharges your appointment management and scheduling workflow.
Cal.com was conceptualized around the idea of making scheduling easy for everyone. We wanted to design not just a product, but scheduling infrastructure that could grow and change to meet your scheduling needs. We didn't design the platform with just a single market, individual, or scenario in mind. Instead, we focused on designing a system that could be upgraded and customized as our users identify new goals and accomplish their dreams.
We believe that the best technology works with you, symbiotically enhancing your workflows and supporting you as you build, create, and innovate. This is why we're excited to announce Cal.ai, a new tool that will help you schedule and manage meetings with even less friction than before.
Your personal assistant will be based on your username: cal.com/peer will be [email protected]
We all know Cal.com is the best way to make sure nobody else double-books you, but there was still always the risk that you went to someone else's link and double-booked yourself. To avoid this you would have to open your calendar, check your meetings and then go back to Cal.com to book the person. Well, not any more! Simply hit the “Overlay my Calendar” toggle on the top right of any booking page and your availability will be overlaid over theirs showing you when you’re available, and most importantly, when you’re not. Never double-book yourself again.
Team owners will now receive monthly digest emails showing a summary of their team's activities for the previous month. You can turn this off in your general settings if you don't want to receive this email.
