Dots coordinates meetings from a forwarded Gmail request

Eddie Soehnel says he built a working calendar-scheduling assistant over several months and iterations. The intake is a Gmail label: he forwards an incoming request there, or writes an email asking to schedule with someone. He says OpenAI Dot then takes over the coordination, emailing the other person and adding a Zoom bridge when needed. Soehnel has not tested group scheduling.

He published an open-source scheduling toolkit alongside the account. The repository’s README describes a Python reference implementation with policy evaluation, slot selection, an operation ledger and sample fixtures. It explicitly says the repository is not a hosted scheduler, has no live account connection and does not automatically authorize calendar or email changes. That public code is useful context, but it does not expose the author’s personal account configuration or independently prove the reported emails.

The source does not say whether Soehnel reviews each outgoing message before it is sent, so the handoff boundary is unclear. The practical pattern is to funnel scheduling requests into a dedicated mailbox label and have an assistant handle coordination and meeting logistics. It is not evidence that group scheduling, every time-zone edge case or a public reference toolkit is ready for unattended production use.
