funnily enough I was actually speaking to one of the founders of x.ai recently

I think they paved the way for a lot of the implementation we do today along with the model providers. That being said we are trying to do scheduling a degree greater of complexity.


Fair feedback that the case studies don't show this well - they're simplified to demonstrate the flow. The multi-party dependency resolution is happening underneath but we could surface that better.

On the LLM point - agreed that context window alone doesn't cut it. The coordination and state management layer sits outside the model. We learned that the hard way early on.


The concurrent resolution problem you're describing is exactly what we deal with. When a staffing coordinator has 15 interviews to book across shared interviewers, confirming one cascades into others. We track pending holds, rank by urgency, and when a confirmation on one thread invalidates a proposal on another, Vela detects the conflict and re-proposes. Theres

The only other alternative is a booking link but this, slows down business, doesnt work in many many real life situations and more :)


open claw breaks so often with scheduling... given the number of things that need to be considered to get it right

We do not have a skill if thats what you meant?


out of curiosity how were you planning on using it?

we are b2b focused unfortunately

but there are a bunch of b2c options :)

I like the name... very UK "ting." Would love to chat one sunday in April and see if there are learnings - feel free to use Meet-Ting to help get something on the calendar :)

Will drop you a line now and very UK indeed, hope that's a good ting. ;0)

if you dont mind me asking what makes the appointments hard to fill? as I understand it the demand far outweighs the supply?

very fair callout - and I can see how "scheduling solved" reads very differently to someone coming from the optimization/planning side of AI. You are right.

Appreciate the note on the slogan, definetly thinking of revamping our landing page in the near future to speak more directly to our audience.


wow what a wonderful coincidence

Thank you for the advice - really appreciate it.

Was actually chatting with a large industrial staffing firm and they were saying the same thing that it was super painful to schedule 1000s of workers for drug tests and then shifts too!
