What is Sked
Sked is an AI scheduling assistant for Slack. It simplifies meeting management by automatically finding the best times for everyone. It aims to end scheduling chaos with AI, finding open slots, booking, and rescheduling meetings in seconds using simple commands.
How to use Sked
To use Sked, you need to sign up with your Gmail, add the /Sked app on Slack, and sync it with your Google Calendar. You can then use simple commands in Slack to interact with Sked. Examples include using /Sked get me an hour with @Alex and @Christy tomorrow to find open slots, /Sked get me 45 min at 5pm with @Alex and @Tessy to book a specific time, /Sked move my 5pm call today to 4pm tomorrow for rescheduling, and /Sked show me @Christy's calendar tomorrow to view a teammate's calendar. You can also respond to event invites and manage your own calendar directly from Slack. Commands are visible only to you, allowing you to use them in channels, DMs, or the Sked app privately.
