About

Read full description

Converge is how a group of people find a time that actually works. Create the meeting, share one link, and everyone drags the hours they're free onto the same grid. The best time rises to the top on its own — and the people you invite never have to make an account to answer. FIND THE TIME • One shared availability grid — drag the hours you're free, on top of everyone else's • Mark hours as "preferred" or "if needed", so a compromise is visible rather than guessed at • A live heat map: the brighter the block, the more people are free • Ranked best times, scored on who's free AND whether your meeting actually fits inside the gap • Confirm in one tap — everyone is notified NOBODY HAS TO SIGN UP • Guests open the link, mark their times, and they're done • Works for in-person and virtual meetings • Reminders and confirmations go out by email and push COMPOSE WITH AI Describe the meetup in a sentence and Converge drafts the whole thing — title, place, date range, time window and the invite list. Or drop a screenshot of the group chat and let it read who's in it and which days people ruled out. Refine the draft with chips for people, places and times before anything is sent. THEN JUST SHOW UP • Add to Google Calendar, Outlook, or your phone's calendar • A map and directions for in-person plans • The forecast for the day, so you know whether the roof is a good idea • Group chat, image sharing and shared notes on every meeting • Tags, contact groups and duplicate-a-meeting for the plans you make often CONNECT YOUR CALENDAR Connect Google Calendar read-only and Converge greys out the hours you're already busy, then fills the grid for you. We never write to your calendar or change anything in it. FREE TO START The free plan covers one new meeting a week with up to 5 people, the full availability grid and heat map, guest access, chat, notes, add-to-calendar and AI Compose. Converge Pro — unlimited meetings, up to 20 people, Google Calendar sync, weather on in-person meetings, scheduling up to 2 months out, image sharing, and 50 AI Compose credits a month. Converge Org — everything in Pro, up to 60 people, a year-long scheduling horizon, recurring meetings, your brand logo on the invites you host, and 100 AI Compose credits a month.
