Features
An assistant for the whole life of a meeting
Most of the work in scheduling happens after the first "does Tuesday work?". Cece is built for that part too.
Reschedules, cancellations, follow-ups
Booking is the easy part. Cece stays on it.
Every meeting Cece books stays linked to its email thread, so when something changes, Cece already knows who to tell and how.
- Move or cancel in one sentence. "Cancel Thursday's lunch." Cece writes to everyone involved and updates the invite.
- Counterparts can reschedule too. If the other person needs to move, they just reply to Cece on the thread.
- Polite follow-ups. No reply after 48 hours? Cece nudges, at most twice, then hands it back to you.
Coming later: "Something came up" and conflict detection
- "Something came up" Coming later
One sentence clears an afternoon. Cece finds every affected meeting, ranks them by priority, shows you a plan to approve, and sends each person a personal note. Your reason stays private unless you say otherwise. - Conflict detection Coming later
When something new lands on top of a booked meeting, Cece suggests a reschedule.

Sorry to hear that. I found 4 meetings after 1pm:
- 1Priya (VIP), video at 2pm: move to Tue or Wed next week
- 2Weekly 1:1 with Dana: skip this week
- 3Candidate interview, 3pm: move to Thu or Fri, with an apology to the candidate
- 4Vendor demo, 4:30pm: decline and ask them to rebook
For the people you meet
Natural replies. No booking links forced on anyone.
The people you meet never sign up for anything. They answer Cece the way they'd answer a person, and Cece takes it from there.
- Plain language in, a booked meeting out. "Wed after 2 works, my time" is a perfectly good answer.
- Their time zone first, yours in brackets. Cece works out the other person's zone from their signature, wording or history, and asks when it isn't sure.
- Your assistant, your voice. Choose its name, tone and signature, and it matches the formality of each thread.
- Times you can trust. Every time Cece offers comes from a deterministic availability check of your calendar, not from the AI's imagination, and it's re-checked right before sending.
A typical reply
Trust ladder
You decide how much Cece does on its own
Trust is earned, so Cece starts by asking. Set a level for everything, then adjust it per contact tier (VIP, normal, low) and per kind of action.
- Start at L1. Every email and calendar change waits for one-tap approval by email, push notification or the portal.
- Move up when you're ready. After you've approved 20 drafts with fewer than 10% edited, Cece suggests the next level. It never promotes itself.
What always comes to you, at every level
Anything involving money or legal commitments, requests to share calendar details beyond free/busy, anyone other than you asking to move or cancel other people's meetings, overriding protected time, and anything Cece isn't confident about.
- L0 · ObserveCece drafts suggestions in the portal. Nothing is sent. Good for a dry run.
- L1 · Approve all Where you startEvery outgoing email and calendar change waits for your one-tap approval.
- L2 · Approve changes RecommendedCece offers times and books on its own. Reschedules, cancellations and anything outside your rules need approval.
- L3 · Full autonomyCece handles everything within your rules and reports in your digest. It still escalates when unsure.
The portal
Every rule visible. Every action undoable.
Email is how you talk to Cece. The portal is where you set it up and check its work.
- Preferences in plain view. Working hours, meeting types, buffers, protected time, daily caps and default locations, all as rules you can read and edit.
- Approvals inbox. Review, edit or reject drafts, with the reason for each one.
- Activity log with "why" and undo. Every action shows the rule that triggered it, and anything Cece did can be undone.
- Contacts and tiers. Mark VIPs so they get your best slots and Cece checks with you first.
Coming later: learned preferences
When Cece notices a pattern ("prefers mornings for external calls"), it suggests a rule and shows the evidence. Nothing applies until you confirm it.

Invite triage
The flood of invites, sorted
Some meetings arrive as calendar invites, not emails. Cece handles those too, by your rules, without ever opening your inbox.
- Accept the obvious ones. For example: internal, inside working hours, no conflict.
- Decline politely, or suggest another time. Cece writes a short note in your assistant's voice.
- Ask you about the rest. A daily digest sums it up: "Accepted 6, declined 2, need you on 3."
- Calendar access only. Triage works entirely through Google Calendar, so Cece never needs to read your email.

Why Cece
Why not a booking link, or another assistant?
There are good tools in this space. Here's where Cece is different, and where it isn't yet.
Booking links
The other person does the work: open the link, find a slot, fill in a form. That's fine for some meetings, but it can feel cold for a first intro or a senior contact, and it doesn't help when the meeting needs to move.
With Cece, people just reply in plain language. Nobody has to click a link.
Inbox AI that suggests times
Built-in assistants can suggest times inside your draft. You still send it, chase the reply, book the event, and start over when plans change.
With Cece, the assistant emails the other person, follows up, books, and handles the changes.
Other cc-style assistants
These work the most like Cece, and some are very good. Many focus on getting the meeting booked, learn your preferences out of sight, and meter usage with credits or meeting caps.
With Cece, the work continues after booking, the rules are visible, and pricing at launch is flat.
Where Cece is different, point by point
- The whole lifecycle, not just the bookingReschedules, cancellations and follow-ups are first-class. Bulk "something came up" plans are coming later.

- Private by designCece only sees threads you cc it on, plus your calendar. It never asks to read your inbox.
- Flat, simple pricing at launchPaid plans include unlimited meetings for one price, with no credits. See planned pricing.
- Where others are ahead todayCece is new and in private beta. It works with Gmail and Google Calendar only. Outlook, Slack, SMS and Teams are coming later.
Getting started
Who the beta is for, and what setup looks like
Who it's for
People who schedule many external meetings and use Google Calendar: founders and executives, investors and consultants, sales and business development, recruiters and hiring managers. Spots are limited, and we'll invite people in small groups.
Setup in minutes
Setup is designed to take under five minutes: sign in with Google, connect your calendar, name your assistant, set your hours.
Nothing sent without you
You start at "Approve all", so nothing is sent without you. You'll talk to the people building Cece, and your feedback shapes what ships.
More questions
The details
What address does Cece email from?
Each assistant gets its own address, such as cece.alex@cece.to. An assistant on your own company domain is planned for the Pro plan (coming later).
Who owns the meetings Cece books?
You do. Events are created on your calendar with you as the organizer, so replies and RSVPs come to you as usual, and your meetings stay put if you ever stop using Cece.
Can I rename my assistant?
Yes. The product is Cece, but your assistant can be called whatever you like ("Morgan", "Ava"), with its own tone and signature.
How does Cece disclose that it's an AI?
By default, Cece's signature says it's an AI assistant (for example, "Cece · AI assistant to Alex Chen"). Where the law requires disclosure, it's always on. If anyone asks whether Cece is a bot, it answers truthfully. Cece never claims to be human.
Which integrations are coming?
During the beta, Cece works with Google Calendar and is designed for people on Gmail or Google Workspace. Outlook and Microsoft 365 calendars are coming later, as are Slack, SMS and Teams.
Ready to just cc Cece?
Cece is free during the private beta for Gmail and Google Calendar.
