Availability and booking links
Answer “when are you free?” once.
Paste your open times into a reply, or send a link that puts the meeting on your calendar for you. Both read every calendar you have connected, so a dentist appointment on your personal calendar stops a client booking over it.

Sometimes a link is too much
Copy your next open times as plain text.
One button puts the next week of your free time on the clipboard, written the way a person would write it. Paste it into the reply you were already typing. Nobody has to click anything, and you do not have to send a scheduling link to someone who asked you a one-line question.
Above it sits the one window that governs everything: a start time, an end time, a timezone, and the days you are willing to be booked. Your calendars say when you are free. This says when you are open for business.

Named links
One link per kind of meeting.
A 30-minute intro. A 60-minute working session. Each one is a name and a set of rules with its own web address, and each carries its own length, buffer, notice, booking window, and daily cap. Pause a link and it stops working without being deleted. Rename it and the address people already have keeps working.
Your links
Length
How long the meeting runs, from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
Buffer
Time held clear either side of a booking, so calls do not collide.
Minimum notice
How soon from now the first slot can be. Four hours by default.
Booking window
How far ahead times are offered, in days.
Most per day
A cap on how many bookings this link will take in a day.
Book onto
Which calendar the meeting lands on. Open times are still read across all of them.
What the other person sees
No account, no sign-in, no idea who we are.
They open the address and see whose calendar it is, what the meeting is, and how long it takes. They pick a day, pick a time, leave a name and an email, and they are booked.
Every time on that page is shown in their timezone, worked out on our side before the page reaches them. This is the part that goes wrong most often everywhere else: “2pm your time” turns into 2pm somewhere else, and one of you sits alone on a call. The address itself is sixteen random characters rather than your name and the meeting title, and the page is kept out of search results, so the link goes where you send it and nowhere else.
On your side the meeting appears on your calendar with them invited, and they get the invite. Book onto a Google calendar and a Meet link is attached to it.
Every calendar, not the one you pointed at
Open times are read across all of them.
A standalone scheduling tool sees the calendar you connected to it. That is why people end up daisy-chaining accounts, keeping a second tool in step with the first, and still getting double booked on a Thursday afternoon.
Groupthink is already reading every calendar you have connected, across accounts and across providers, because that is where your relationships live. Availability comes out of the same place. Pair it with calendar sync and the people looking at your calendar directly get the same answer your booking page gives.
Where the booking goes
A booking starts a relationship, not a row.
The meeting comes in through the same door as everything else in Groupthink. The person who booked becomes a relationship you have a record of, and the meeting joins what you know about them.
So the intro call they booked on Tuesday is on their record when they come back in November, alongside what you talked about and what you said you would send. A scheduling tool writes to a grid of open slots. This writes to the relationship.
What is not here yet
Three things worth knowing before you switch.
- Changing or cancelling a booking happens by replying to the calendar invite, which reaches you directly.
- Round-robin and team scheduling are not here. A link belongs to one person, and that person is you.
- There is no payment step. This is for putting time on a calendar.
