Alexa Scheduling

Amazon’s Alexa has been able to schedule meetings for

some time now, but starting today Alexa can schedule

one-on-one meetings based on the availability of both

meeting participants. The Alexa Smart Scheduling Assistant

also lets you move events around on your calendar with

voice commands and is the first such service to be made

available to Alexa and Alexa for Business users in the United

States.

Alexa is unable to schedule one-on-one meetings if the

person in your contact list lacks an email address, since

suggested meeting times and calendar invites are sent

via email.

However, if there’s more than one person in your contact

list with the same name, Alexa will ask: “There are multiple

people named John in your contacts, which would you like

to invite?”
