Schedule meetings by email from forwarded requests

Overview
A few months and a few different iterations and I finally have a working AI calendar scheduling assistant.
Workflow
The author developed an AI calendar scheduling assistant after several months of iteration. The workflow involves forwarding incoming emails or creating new meeting requests to a specific Gmail labeled inbox. An AI agent, built using Open AI's Dot, monitors this inbox, emails recipients to coordinate schedules, and adds Zoom bridges as needed. The project is open-sourced for others to configure, though the author notes it includes complexities that may not be necessary for all users.
Reported result
The author reports having a working AI calendar scheduling assistant. However, no specific metrics, success rates, or time savings are provided. The author explicitly states that group scheduling has not been tested yet. The implementation faced issues when running through Codex, leading to the use of Open AI's Dot instead.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
The source does not detail specific operational costs, API limits, or error handling protocols. Group scheduling functionality is untested. The reliance on Open AI's Dot suggests potential compatibility or stability issues with other tools like Codex. Human involvement in the final approval of sent emails or bookings is not explicitly described in the source, though implied by the nature of email coordination.
Try it
Act as an AI scheduling assistant. I will forward meeting request emails to a designated Gmail label. Your task is to monitor this inbox, draft reply emails to coordinate times with recipients, and include Zoom links when appropriate. Before sending any email or creating any calendar event, you must present the draft and proposed action to me for approval. Do not send anything without my explicit confirmation. First, process one sample email from [replaceable input: sample email text or URL] and show me the proposed reply and calendar action. Wait for my feedback before proceeding with any further emails. If the email involves group scheduling, flag it as unsupported and ask for manual intervention. Ensure all outputs are formatted as clear, professional email drafts.
