Sidekick AI
AI-assisted scheduling focused on coordinating meetings from email and reducing manual back-and-forth.
Sidekick AI is a low-cost, AI-assisted scheduling tool that positions itself as a lightweight alternative to Calendly. Alongside conventional shareable scheduling pages, its signature capability is Forward to Schedule: you forward a meeting-request email to Sidekick, and it reads the request, checks your calendar availability, books the meeting, and sends confirmations automatically.
It connects to Google, Outlook, and Office 365 calendars and supports Google Meet, Zoom, Skype, and Microsoft Teams, with team scheduling handled through Team Pages, automatic calendar invites, and meeting reminders. Pricing is unusually simple: a free-forever Hero plan with three scheduling pages and unlimited meetings, and a single low-cost Superhero plan that unlocks unlimited pages, the Forward to Schedule AI workflow, branding removal, and team features.
Sidekick AI suits solo professionals and small teams who want a cheap, low-friction booking tool rather than an enterprise scheduling platform. It works through the web and email rather than a dedicated mobile app, and is best understood as a budget, no-frills option than a feature-leading competitor.
Solo professionals and small teams that want a very low-cost booking tool with an AI forward-to-schedule workflow.
