Blockit, an AI scheduling startup, allows autonomous agents to negotiate meetings across users’ calendars, bypassing the usual back-and-forth emails. Co-founders Khimji and John Hahn, who previously worked on Timeful, Google Calendar, and Clockwise, describe the system as an “AI social network for people’s time.”
Users can invoke Blockit by copying the agent on emails or messaging it in Slack. The AI negotiates times, locations, and meeting priorities according to user preferences. Agents can even prioritize meetings based on cues like email tone and nonnegotiable time blocks. By learning individual preferences, Blockit aims to capture the hidden context of scheduling decisions, a concept venture investors refer to as “context graphs.”
Blockit is already in use at more than 200 companies, including Together.ai, Brex, Rogo, and venture firms such as a16z, Accel, and Index. The platform offers a 30-day free trial, after which individual licenses cost $1,000 annually and team licenses $5,000.
The launch positions Blockit in direct competition with traditional scheduling platforms like Calendly, valued at $3 billion, while leveraging AI agents to handle the complexity and nuance of professional scheduling automatically.
The launch reflects a broader wave of AI productivity tools, including Doist’s Todoist Ramble, which converts spoken tasks into organized to-dos, and Google’s Gemini-powered Gmail features that summarize messages, generate replies, and prioritize emails to streamline workflow.
