SavvyCal picks the time. Fasrad runs the meeting around it.

Fasrad as a SavvyCal alternative

Nobody likes the back-and-forth, and SavvyCal fixed that well. Its ranked-times overlay feels like a shared decision more than "pick from my calendar." If all you need is a clean scheduling link, it does the job.

SavvyCal hands you a confirmed slot and a calendar event, and then it's done. The actual work starts there. Who is this person, what did we last say, what do I need in front of me at 2pm? And what happens when they book and then go quiet? All of that lands back on you.

Fasrad treats the booking as the start of a thread:

• It books into your real Google Calendar with the same buffer and availability rules, with no double-bookings
• It pulls the last email exchange with that person and writes a one-paragraph prep brief before the call
• It catches the thread where you proposed times and got no reply, and sends a plain follow-up
• It logs the contact and the interaction in its CRM, so the next meeting starts warm

You keep what people like about SavvyCal, the other side picking from real times, and hand off the assistant work that used to sit in your head.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fasrad have the overlay/ranked-times view that SavvyCal is known for?

Not as a standalone page. Fasrad proposes concrete times directly in the conversation (email, chat, Telegram) and can stand up a public booking surface through its embeddable widget, so the recipient still gets real slots to pick from. SavvyCal's hosted booking page overlays your times on the recipient's calendar and ranks options. A dedicated ranked-overlay page is on Fasrad's roadmap, and conversational booking is what it does today.

So why use Fasrad for scheduling at all?

The booking is the easy 10%, and Fasrad does the rest. It reads the thread to write your prep brief, chases invites that go unanswered, and logs contacts to a CRM. It also handles the conversation that leads up to the booking in the first place. SavvyCal stops at the confirmed event.

Can I move my existing SavvyCal setup over?

There's no one-click import, because SavvyCal doesn't expose one. You connect your Google Calendar to Fasrad and describe your availability rules to the agent in plain language: durations, buffers, working hours, and which days take which call types. That usually takes a few minutes, and your SavvyCal link can stay live during the switch.

Will it double-book if I also keep SavvyCal running?

No. Both read the same Google Calendar as the source of truth, so a slot booked through either one shows as busy to the other. Running them side by side during a trial is safe.

What about meeting prep? Does it actually read my email?

Yes, with your connected inbox. Before a meeting it pulls the most recent thread with that contact and summarizes what was discussed, what was promised and what's still open. It reads to brief you, and it only sends something on your say-so or under a follow-up rule you've set up.

What does it cost?

Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. Setup takes about four minutes: connect Google Calendar and describe your rules. Fasrad is in public beta.
