Quick Start
During onboarding, Vela connects to the calendar you already use — Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. It reads availability so it never proposes a slot you cannot keep.
Open the thread with your candidate or client and CC Vela. Write the instruction the way you would to a colleague:
Looping in Vela to find 45 minutes with Priya and our hiring manager this week or early next.
No template. No slash commands.
Vela contacts each participant with real options in their time zone, follows up if someone stays quiet, and comes back when a slot is agreed. You do not have to check on it.
The invite lands on every calendar with the right attachments. If anything changes later, Vela re-coordinates and tells you the outcome.
Things worth saying out loud#
Vela handles ambiguity, so you can be specific about the things that matter and vague about the rest:
| What you write | What Vela does with it |
|---|---|
| "Friday evenings are free" | Treats Friday evening as available for this requester |
| "Priority — this is a client" | Ranks the meeting above internal blocks when slots compete |
| "Send the resume with the invite" | Attaches the document to the calendar invite it creates |
| "Book a 15-minute prep call before" | Schedules the prep call as its own coordinated meeting |
| "Collect feedback after" | Follows up with interviewers once the call has happened |
