Calendly Use In IB and Big Law [Not-Serious]

I'm an MBA Associate coming in for summer 2023, and I have a very important question to ask. I'm considering proposing the use of automatic scheduling tools to the CEO of Goldman Sachs, and my friend in law school is even thinking of proposing it to the Chairman of Kirkland and Ellis.

Professionals waste too much time scheduling meetings. We think that this could even be a 10x efficiency gain. We are imaging the look on their face when they read the short emails introducing what Calendly is. Automatically hired on the spot.

But seriously, I'm wondering if any of you have experience using these types of tools in a professional setting. Is it really worth it to let a machine handle something as important as scheduling meetings with clients and colleagues? Or are we just setting ourselves up for disaster?

Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I mean, sure, it might be convenient for scheduling coffee dates with your friends, but do we really want to trust our important business meetings to a machine?

I mean, what happens when Calendly gets a glitch and double books us with the CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Chairman of Kirkland and Ellis at the same time? Or worse, what if it accidentally schedules us for a meeting on Mars (I mean, have you seen the user interface on this thing?).
