I like the idea. CC'ing Sift seems scary for a user. What if it completely misunderstands the message and shows wrong info? That would look bad for the user. Is there a way to preview the message it sends to the other party?
Yes. Actually, your Sift responds back in 3-5 seconds telling you what it thinks you meant and let's you simply confirm when it gets it right or edit any details it missed. Natural language processing is hard so our approach is to do the best job we can and make sure the user agrees; after all the customer/user is always right, not the algorithm.
Try it out and let us know? We're in closed alpha but I can share an invite link.
Of course with Siftnet you cut down on the back and forth but more importantly you've given the other person an opportunity to find a time with you as soon as you send your first e-mail to them. You don't have to deal with the delay of back and forth emails or people going on vacation half-way through the meeting negotiation process.

Does this work for only gmail or does it work with exchange?
