# Howie

> AI assistant that schedules meetings over email and text

Howie is an AI scheduling assistant from 3030 Labs, Inc. that you loop in on an email thread or message by iMessage or SMS. It reads the conversation, checks your calendars, offers times, handles replies and sends the invite, and it can also hold focus time, add buffers and send reminders. Pricing is a monthly pool of credits shared by a whole workspace instead of a fee per seat.

## Key features

- **Scheduling over email and text:** Add Howie to a thread and it reads the conversation, checks availability, offers times, handles the replies and creates the calendar event.
- **Group threads and follow-ups:** It finds a time across group threads and follows up when people go quiet, using a rule you set such as two nudges 48 hours apart.
- **Booking links:** Besides negotiating by message, Howie can create booking links for different kinds of meetings.
- **Calendar protection:** Finds blocks for deep work or errands, adds holds, buffers, commutes and travel time, and watches for conflicts and overloaded days.
- **Reminders and daily briefings:** Manages reminders, to-dos and follow-ups, briefs you on the day ahead and tracks who you are waiting on.
- **Assistant with your own identity:** The assistant can have a name and signature you choose. An email address at your company's domain is a paid add-on.
