Assistant.to vs Doodle

• Their Chrome extension is very user-friendly. It allows you to quickly insert times into an email by selecting available timeframes then automatically converting them into individual links for each available time based on your meeting length preference (15 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, etc).
• Assistant.to automatically creates a calendar event and sends an invite when a recipient chooses a time. It also allows someone to quickly rebook a time or select an option if no times that were sent to them work with their availability.
• You can customize your meeting settings but only send options for 3 days at a time. This is actually helpful in my opinion because it simplifies the selection experience so our customers choose a time sooner.

• Doodle provides options for quizzes, polls, and scheduling, which makes it a versatile tool.
• Doodle very clearly shows you the top choice(s) picked by respondents, making it easy to select a time that is best for the most people.
• Doodle allows you to connect your calendar, which helps to more efficiently select workable time slots - and syncs your events.
• Doodle doesn't require respondents to create an account in order to participate in the poll.

• The app currently does not save the availability times that I select, therefore I have to re-select my availability every time I sent meeting options.
• The app does not have the ability to customize the theme or styles of the meeting times. It'd be nice to allow users to choose between a set of themes to better fit their company's brand.
• If Assistant.to had a scheduling link option like Calendly has, that would be another improvement. Sometimes we'll have customers who cannot meet until the following week, so having a scheduler link would be helpful in those situations.

• I would like to create groups within Doodle that I use frequently rather than manually enter emails or share a link each time.
• I would like to be able to sync multiple emails into my Doodle account so that when I get invited to a Doodle poll I am also signed in. I use Doodle for personal and professional use, and those have to exist separately.
• Add a comment section to polls! Attendees could then comment if availability has special circumstances.

• The app has saved our organization time through less email replies in order to schedule meetings and also not having to review your calendar in a separate before replying.
• We're able to onboard accounts more quickly through providing options only for the next three days. This forces customers to schedule their meetings sooner, which helps move our pipeline.
• Since we do have some customers who are not technically savvy, it has caused some delays in scheduling for those that do not understand how to use the links provided to the customer by using Assistant.to.

• Doodle allows me to offer various dates/times to schedule a meeting, have the attendees choose their availability at their leisure, while I focus on other projects and tasks.
