Why Choose
SavvyCal vs X.ai?
X.ai was a novel solution when it first came out, but now they’re right back to the conventional (broken) approach to scheduling a meeting. SavvyCal is the X.ai alternative that makes scheduling collaborative instead of a nuisance.
“SavvyCal makes scheduling calls and meetings so easy for us. I wish we had this years ago.”
“I use SavvyCal so my customers can easily compare my availability to their own. Making their lives a little easier is a treat I’m happy to pay for.”
“My favorite is the personalized links. SavvyCal links feel more natural and save everyone time.”
Leave everything to AI and you just might miss some of the personal touch.
X.ai believes that the best way to schedule a meeting is to loop in an AI assistant over email to then trade times to figure out a mutual time to meet. SavvyCal believes that the best way to schedule a meeting is to remove the need for the back-and-forth scheduling dance entirely!
If you’re okay with looping in an AI assistant or sending out a generic link that forces the recipient to jump through a few hoops to meet with you, SavvyCal probably won’t be a good fit for you. But if you care about providing an enjoyable experience for anyone booking a meeting with you, you’re in the right place.
