Replies & drafting

An invite lands overnight and needs an answer before your first meeting, but you're not at a desk yet. You're on the train. Beemy has the confirmation drafted and checked for conflicts before you even open your phone.

When the invite lands before your day does

A meeting request arrives overnight or first thing, your calendar's already tight, and the reply needs to go out before the sender starts wondering whether you saw it.

What arrived

Priya

10am tomorrow work for a quick sync?

Priya asks for a 10am slot tomorrow, sent late last night, needing an answer before your day even starts.

Beemy's draft

To Priya

Re: 10am tomorrow work for a quick sync?

A confirmation is drafted and checked against your calendar first: the slot is free, so the reply just confirms 10am. Approve it and the calendar entry updates itself, no separate step needed.

You approve from your phone, and the calendar catches up on its own.

How Beemy handles it

## 4 steps, approval-first the whole way.

### Checks the invite against your calendar

Before drafting anything, Beemy checks for a genuine clash rather than assuming the slot is free.

### Drafts the confirmation in your voice

The reply is written the way you'd actually confirm: brief and specific to the meeting.

### Holds it for a one-tap approval

The draft is ready the moment you check your phone, wherever that happens to be. No need to be at your desk to answer it.

### Updates the calendar once you approve

Approve, and the event's confirmed and added: you don't have to also go update the calendar separately.

What you still decide

- The confirmation waits for your one-tap approval before it sends, until you promote this category yourself.

- A genuine clash is always flagged to you instead of Beemy picking a side.

- You can edit the reply from your phone if the time needs negotiating instead of just confirming.

The honest scope

## What it reads. What it can do. What it never does.

Reads

- The invite and your calendar's free/busy status, to check for a real clash

- Related thread history, to draft a confirmation specific to that meeting

Can do

- Drafts the confirmation and holds it for your one-tap approval

- Updates your calendar once you approve

Never

- Never confirms or declines a meeting without your approval until you promote the category yourself

- Never resolves a genuine clash on its own: that's always escalated to you

- Never lets a personal calendar event inform this work confirmation, or vice versa

Why a quick confirmation is harder than it looks

A confirmation sent from a phone, half-awake, is exactly where a genuine clash gets missed. Checking your calendar properly before drafting anything, and still having the reply ready the second you glance at your phone, is what makes a one-tap approval actually safe to give.

Questions

## Fair questions, straight answers.

**What if I'm double-booked?**

That's flagged to you rather than resolved quietly: a genuine clash is the one thing this always escalates instead of guessing.

**Can I approve it from my phone, or do I need to be at a computer?**

The draft and the one-tap approval both work from your phone. That's the point of having it ready before you're at a desk.

**Does it also update my calendar, or just send the reply?**

Once you approve, it updates the calendar too, so you're not confirming in two places.
