Ting's magic has always been in "multiplayer" mode - CC the AI, and it books your meetings with other people.

But we quickly realized a huge part of calendar management is actually "single-player," because: CC'ing an AI adds friction if you don't have a thread going, and digging through an old Ting thread to reschedule is a massive pain. We knew we had to build a way for you to just chat with Ting directly and have it orchestrate all the boring stuff in the background.

We started 1-on-1 emails first, but that felt clunky and slow. The obvious answer for a busy person on the run was WhatsApp. We've had a lot of requests for it, since these days meetings are discussed in many places - not just email, but LinkedIn DMs too.
