How MeetMaker works

You tell the agent three things: who you want to gather, what the occasion is, and roughly when you're thinking. Then you add the detail that makes everything actually work — the deadline by which you need a confirmed answer.

The deadline is not a strict event time — it's the cutoff for the agent's coordination work. If you need to know by Friday whether poker night is happening Saturday, Friday is your deadline. Without a deadline the agent has no signal for when to stop waiting and report back to you.

A brief might look like: "Poker night, five friends — Amit, Noa, Dana, Reuven, Talia — sometime next week, evenings. I need an answer by Thursday."

Or: "Family dinner, parents and two siblings, this weekend, need to know by Friday noon." Or: "Team lunch after the sprint, eight people, Wednesday or Thursday, let me know by Tuesday."

The agent needs: who, what, roughly when — and your deadline for getting an answer.

The agent contacts each invitee on the channel you have for them — WhatsApp, Telegram, or whatever is available. Each person gets their own private message, not a blast to a group.

The note is short and personalized: who's organising, what the occasion is, and a clear question about availability. It does not CC anyone else. It does not expose other people's answers. Each conversation is between the agent and that one person.

Critically, replies go back to the bot — not to your personal DMs, not to a shared thread. You don't have to manage incoming messages, chase anyone individually, or apologise for asking twice. The agent handles all of that in the background.

This is the part most coordination tools get wrong: locking too early. Two people say yes and suddenly everyone gets a calendar invite.

MeetMaker does not do that. It pings everyone, then waits. Responses trickle in — some fast, some slow, some ambiguous. The agent aggregates them, notices conflicts, and asks targeted follow-up questions when the picture is unclear. "You said Wednesday works but Dana said only after 8pm — does 8:30pm work for you?"

It only moves toward a conclusion when there's enough signal to commit — or when your deadline arrives. It does not rush. It does not give up early. It works the problem until it can give you a real answer.

When the agent has a convergent answer, it sends you a single clean message. Something like: "5 in, Wednesday 8pm at Dani's. Reply YES to confirm."

If the deadline arrives before enough responses are in, you get a different kind of message: "Couldn't lock — here's what I got: 3 yes, 1 no, 1 no response. Want me to retry with a new deadline?" You decide what to do next.

Either way, you get a clear answer before the deadline you set — not silence, not a half-filled Doodle link, not a group thread still active at midnight.
