You can probably achieve similar results if you setup your own agent in front of a calendar MCP server, but it took a lot of prompt and tool response refinement to start seeing consistent results. Scheduling larger groups of people, or people across different time zones are some examples of things we needed to optimize for individually.Our goal here is to offer a turn-key solution that drops into your existing tools and just works out of the box, so you don’t need to build any of those integrations yourself

How is this different than adding a calendar mcp server to something like Claude?

Hey HN! I&#x27;m Mike from FlyLoop (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getflyloop.com). FlyLoop automates meeting scheduling for you, like your own executive assistant. You chat with FlyLoop in plain English to manage your calendar and schedule meetings with your teammates. Demo video: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;ODgHilaWvA0I built FlyLoop because scheduling meetings has always been tedious and time-consuming. I&#x27;ve wasted a lot of time combing through my teammates’ calendars just to find a meeting slot - then I remember that someone is in a different time zone and have to start all over. Another big pain point has been the maintenance that comes with being the owner of a meeting. If one core participant can no longer make it, I’m stuck juggling calendars again to reschedule. It’s exhausting.That’s what sparked the idea for FlyLoop - a tool that takes the hassle out of scheduling and is simple to use. FlyLoop is an AI agent that integrates with your team&#x27;s messaging and calendar tools. Just tell FlyLoop things like:- &quot;Set up a 30 minute sync with John, Maria, and Angela next week.&quot;- &quot;Find the next available time for our engineering standup tomorrow.&quot;- &quot;Reschedule my afternoon calls on Friday, I&#x27;ll be OOO.&quot;- &quot;What are some time slots I can meet with Katie and Mark early next week?&quot;FlyLoop creates meetings by looking up the schedule of each participant you want to add and finding availability that works for everyone. It can also modify existing meetings you own, such as renaming, rescheduling, and changing the participant list.FlyLoop is currently in private beta, and we&#x27;re looking to work closely with a few organizations to get feedback and refine the product before a public release. We currently integrate with Slack and Google Calendar, but we can prioritize adding support for other providers such as Teams&#x2F;Outlook if folks are interested.Our priority is to get early feedback, so we are pricing FlyLoop at cost to run the service for your team. We’ll create invoices based on your team’s usage, and as we grow, we plan to transition to a more standard per-seat pricing model.If you’re interested in trying it out, please fill out this form to get beta access https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getflyloop.com&#x2F;beta or email me at mike@getflyloop.com, and I can help answer any questions you may have.Thank you for reading! We look forward to hearing your feedback.
