Clara is one of the longest running email scheduling assistants, and it now runs entirely on AI. You CC Clara on a thread once; it reads the conversation, proposes times, handles every reply and reschedule, and sends the invite. Clara says no person at the company reads your emails, which matters for legal, finance and executive users who need discretion. It works with Google and Outlook calendars and Zoom or Teams video. The free trial lasts 14 days and covers 5 meetings. Standard costs $80 per month for 30 meetings, with multiple calendars, customizable preferences, delegate access and advanced integrations. Enterprise adds unlimited meetings, company wide preferences, an admin dashboard, a custom domain and data retention controls. Clara reports more than 1M meetings booked. The main drawback is price: Skej offers a similar CC-based assistant from $15 a month, though Clara emphasizes a professional tone and privacy for client-facing work.
