  • OutputBook Outlook event and invite groupOutlook

What it does

Replaces scheduling polls for larger groups. The bot opens an availability ask, gathers free-text replies ("I can do Wed or Thu morning") through a webhook, normalizes each into time ranges, scores candidate slots against Outlook free/busy, and books the slot that satisfies a quorum of attendees.

When to use it

Use it for committee meetings, training sessions, or all-hands where you need most people present and a rigid poll grid annoys everyone. It accepts messy human replies and still converges on a real booking.

How it works

  1. 1Each attendee reply arrives via webhook to kick off or update the tally.
  2. 2OpenAI converts each free-text reply into structured time ranges.
  3. 3The bot cross-checks proposed windows against Outlook free/busy for hard conflicts.
  4. 4A logic step scores each candidate slot and checks whether quorum is met.
  5. 5When quorum is reached the bot picks the highest-scoring slot.
  6. 6The bot books the Outlook event and sends invites to everyone who responded.
