Show HN: I killed my Calendly link after people booking randomly

I killed my Calendly link after someone I barely knew booked an intro call 30 minutes before my biggest sales meeting of the quarter. Then another person wedged themselves between two important calls, forcing me to reschedule everything.

The problem: Calendly treats all meetings as equal. It doesn't know that some people matter more, or that some time blocks are sacred.

So I built the opposite. When someone requests a meeting:

1. It searches your email history with that person

2. Understands the context (hot lead vs cold outreach vs investor vs "just curious")

3. Learns your actual schedule preferences (not just "availability")

4. Suggests times that make sense for THIS specific meeting's priority level

Example: A prospect who's been emailing about a deal gets offered your best slots.

Someone wanting to "pick your brain" gets next Tuesday at 3pm and nothing else.

It's still early—I'm using it myself and with ~10 beta users. The context analysis is basic (email volume, reply speed, keywords) but it's already prevented 3 calendar disasters this week.

Built with [tech stack]. Would love feedback, especially from anyone else who's been burned by the "first-come-first-served" scheduling model.
