Sidekick AI Overview
Sidekick AI is a sophisticated scheduling and productivity tool designed to streamline meeting management, integrate with various tools, and enhance user efficiency.
What Sidekick AI Does
Sidekick AI functions as a personal assistant for scheduling meetings, managing contacts, and automating routine tasks. It was developed to address the lack of adequate scheduling solutions available, and it has evolved based on user feedback and needs.
Key Features and Functionality
Scheduling Meetings
Sidekick AI offers multiple ways to schedule meetings, including customizable scheduling pages that can be shared via URL. Users can add meetings easily, similar to texting a personal assistant, and manage different types of meetings (confirmed, canceled, pending, inbound, and outbound).
Integrations
The tool integrates with favorite tools and services, allowing users to automate their scheduling experience. This includes syncing with Google and Outlook contacts to facilitate easier meeting scheduling.
Contact and Group Management
Users can manage contacts and create groups to simplify the scheduling process. Contacts can be prioritized (high, medium, low), and preferences can be set for each contact or group. This feature helps in handling competing time slots and ensuring higher priority contacts get preference.
Team Scheduling
Sidekick AI enables easy scheduling with teams and groups. Users can create team pages where members connect their calendars, making it simple to find the best times for group meetings.
Meeting Statistics and Reminders
The tool provides insights into meeting statistics, showing the most common meeting times and days. It also sends reminders prior to meetings, creates calendar events automatically, and sends out meeting invites.
Action Items and Notifications
Sidekick AI uses an “Action Items” system, represented by a bell icon, to notify users of tasks that require their attention, such as approving new meeting requests or rescheduling meetings.
Custom Branding
For businesses, Sidekick AI offers the option to remove its branding and add custom logos and branding through its Business Package, currently available as a WhiteGlove service in BETA.
Out of Office Mode
The tool includes an “out of office” mode that can reschedule meetings automatically when the user is unavailable.
Additional Functionality
- Pending Meetings: Users can track meetings that don’t yet have dates or times, ensuring visibility and updates on status and details.
- Automated Tasks: Sidekick AI handles tedious tasks such as creating calendar events and sending meeting invites, keeping users organized and productive.
Overall, Sidekick AI is designed to be intuitive, automating many of the tasks associated with meeting scheduling and contact management, thereby enhancing productivity and efficiency.
