Overview

Clara is an email-based scheduling assistant. You CC Clara on a thread and it reads the conversation, proposes times, answers each reply and confirms the meeting, including reschedules. It works with Google and Outlook calendars and with Zoom and Teams. Clara states that no employee or contractor reads customer email; the assistant handles threads on its own.

Best for: Individuals and teams who schedule over email — recruiters, executives, legal and agencies
