Hi Product Hunt — I’m Sam, co-founder of Ferghana Labs who created the schedule. Scheduling emails are the laundry of cognitive work. Each one is trivial in its own right, but they pile up, they stare at you, and the mental energy to clean them up is out of proportion to how easy the actual task is. A rule we adhere to at Ferghana Labs is to spend 15% of your time trying to automate your existing work. Scheduling meetings is a big part of being a founder, from sales to recruiting to fundraising to customer calls. After trying a bunch of solutions, we were surprised that none of them met our needs. Tools like Cal.com or Calendly try to solve this problem, but they’re imperfect. These work great if you run structured sales calls or want to broadcast a booking link. They don’t work if you want to naturally respond to someone who has emailed you asking to meet up. So we built Schedule, an open source AI scheduling agent that lives inside Gmail. When someone emails you to set up a meeting, Schedule reads the thread, checks your calendar, and drafts a reply with suggested times. You review and hit send. It’s all flow. No new app to learn. No link to paste. No availability blocks to configure. It only works within the tool you’re already in. Some things we’re proud of: – **It learns your style** — Reads your past emails so drafts sound like you, not a bot – **It knows your preferences** — Mornings only, no Fridays, 30-minute buffers, without you ever having to set rules – **Drafts are only in your control. Nothing gets sent without you – **Autopilot Mode** — For BOLD: Let it send replies autonomously and scheduling disappears completely – **Fully open source and self-hosted** — Your data stays yours We don’t store any email or calendar events on our servers Everything stays where it already is: Google. You can self-host it from the repo today, or try our hosted version here.
