The Best Way to Share Your Availability (Without Sending a Link)

The Skej Team2025-05-02

You’ve probably done it a hundred times: “Here’s my Calendly — grab a time that works for you.” And while scheduling links are convenient, let’s be honest — they don’t always land well. In more personal or high-touch conversations — with a client, a candidate, or an investor — dropping a link can feel cold, impersonal, or even a little… presumptuous. But manually typing out a list of times? That’s a pain. And if even one of them changes, the whole thing falls apart. There’s a better way: Skej — an AI assistant that shares your availability for you, in natural language, right inside your email thread. No links. No portals. Just a smarter, faster, more human way to schedule.

Why scheduling links aren't always ideal

Scheduling links work great for low-stakes meetings. But in many situations, they create subtle friction — especially when:

  • You’re reaching out to a high-value client
  • A candidate is considering multiple offers
  • You’re coordinating with a busy executive (or their assistant)
  • You’re following up on a warm intro
  • You’re trying to build rapport — not assign homework

Links can feel like you’re saying, “Here, you figure it out.” And for certain audiences, that’s a turn-off.

Skej: The Best Alternative to Scheduling Links

Skej is an AI scheduling assistant that lives in your email. When you CC Skej (skej@skej.com) on a thread, it reads the context, checks your calendar, and offers up real, available times to the other person — instantly and conversationally. Here’s what it looks like: “Thanks for getting back to me! [Your Name] is available Tuesday at 11am, or Thursday afternoon after 2pm. Let me know what works for you — I’ll take care of the rest.” That’s it. Skej proposes times, handles the replies, confirms the meeting, and sends out calendar invites — all without anyone clicking a single link.

It’s not just polite — it’s powerful

Because Skej works in natural language and in real time, it feels like a real assistant. It can:

  • Respect tone and formality in the thread
  • Adjust suggestions based on time zones
  • Follow your availability rules (e.g. “never book Mondays”)
  • Include specific teammates
  • Respond instantly when someone suggests a time
  • Reschedule or cancel if anything changes

It’s professional. It’s responsive. And most importantly — it doesn’t make the other person do the work.

Examples where Skej wins over links

  • A VC replies to your outreach with: “Can you do sometime tomorrow? What works?” → Skej responds in seconds, proposes ideal times, and books it before anyone else does.

  • A candidate emails back saying: “I’m generally free next week.” → Skej reads your calendar and your hiring manager’s (if they use Skej too), and suggests overlapping times automatically.

  • A client replies late at night while you’re asleep: “What about 10am your time?” → Skej confirms it while you’re still dreaming. Calendar invite sent.

No links. No friction. Just booked meetings.

If you’re tired of links that feel transactional, or endless email threads trying to find a time that works, Skej is your solution. It’s the best way to share availability in a way that feels natural, respectful, and fast — all while saving you the effort.
