After a 7 years in business, x.ai was acquired. Unfortunately, the day has come for the new owner to shut down the scheduling product. On October 31, 2021, x.ai entered the startup graveyard.
It’s a huge bummer when a product you’ve used for years is shut down. But the good news is that if you’re looking for a replacement, SavvyCal just might be what you’re looking for!
“SavvyCal makes me feel better about finding time to meet with clients, partners, and colleagues. It goes beyond similar tools by removing the awkwardness of imposing your schedule upon others.”

Make personalization a priority.
With SavvyCal, you can create personalized links in seconds to make a great impression while also reducing the steps needed to schedule a time.
Find the best time for everyone
With SavvyCal, recipients can overlay their calendar on top of yours to easily find mutual availability.
With x.ai, the burden is on the recipient to switch back and forth to find a good time.
Optimize for preferred times
With SavvyCal, you can optimize your schedule by presenting availability windows in a particular order.
With x.ai, recipients are limited to just one availability window.
Adjusting availability should save time, not waste time.
With SavvyCal, you can quickly make changes across multiple meeting types at the same time.
With x.ai, availability has to be manually changed for each and every link.
Protect against meeting overload
With SavvyCal, you can limit how many meetings can be booked per day, week, or month.
With x.ai, you might wake up to 10 back to back meetings on a Monday.
Customize availability on the fly
With SavvyCal, you can preview and manually allow or block off time before sending.
With x.ai, “ad hoc meetings” have to be created in order to adjust availability, which completely negates the purpose of creating preset links in the first place.
Select calendars on a per-link basis
With SavvyCal, you can check for conflicts across multiple calendars and set which calendar you want to store each meeting in.
With x.ai, every meeting is stored on the same calendar — don’t they teach you not to mix business with pleasure?
Multiple duration lengths for each link
With SavvyCal, recipients can book as little or as much time as they need.
With x.ai, you have to create a separate link for every duration variant you want to offer.
Ad-free meeting polls
With SavvyCal, you can invite people to vote on a set of times to meet without any distractions.
With x.ai, you’re out of luck if you want to schedule a group meeting.
