Howie is the only AI tool that I can count on today to accurately perform critical tasks. He schedules all my meetings faster and more efficiently than if done by a human.

It's incredible how customizable Howie is. I asked him if he could follow up in 48 hours whenever we haven't heard from someone we're scheduling with, and now he does that every time.

Howie is faster than any EA I've had and literally no one knows he's AI. When I tell people what Howie is, they instantly try to "hire" him.

  • Another cool @howie_ai feature.

    Person I have a meeting with coming up also has Howie.

    Conflict came up on one of our calendars and it automatically rescheduled our meeting for both of us.

    Great products are like magic, and this feels like magic.

  • most EAs I interact with are insanely slow. 24 hour+ turn around to get a calendar invite.

    unacceptable if you're already making the interaction impersonal by outsourcing to also make it a bad experience.

    everyone should use @howie_ai. best i've used so far (not an investor,…

  • Have started testing https://t.co/bzLMN6UywF as my AI admin. A little weird to see the AI admin interacting with other admins but has been fantastic at managing calendar so far . . .

  • Howie (@howie_ai) is now my go-to for scheduling. Why it worked:
    - Magical onboarding: Inferred my defaults, then let me configure them
    – Covers a broad enough range of cases to be useful
    – Solves a problem painful enough to make it worth adopting

  • If you're looking for an AI schedule assistant, I've tried many and @howie_ai is hands down the best and most natural. Once it is able to do outlook, I'll be in heaven for scheduling :)

How fast does Howie reply?

Not that fast!

We prioritize accuracy and ability to handle complexity over speed.

Howie is faster than most executive assistants, but slower than ChatGPT. We have designed a waterfall of AI models that work through a task from several different angles ensuring accuracy and attention to even the smallest details. Then, we have other models that review the work and send it back for another try if a potential mistake is detected. These cycles can sometimes take 15 minutes or longer. Additionally, when our models are not confident enough, we loop in our 24/7 team of AI Trainers who verify Howie's work. This process results in an impressively accurate and human-like experience, which is not instant. Despite non-instant replies, Howie is still faster than most EAs and works 24/7.

Do you support Outlook?

Not at this time. Today Howie only works with Google Calendar.

Can I change Howie's name?

Yes! On Howie Pro we support full whitelabel. You can name your Howie anything you like, and set him up with an email at your domain. We have a Howie named Jane and others named Ron and George and Ada and Jeeves and Donna and Katie and Clare and even...Chamath.

Can Howie handle multiple calendars?

Yes of course. You can log in with as many Google Calendar accounts as you'd like, and Howie will work seamlessly across all of them.

Do you have SOC 2 Certification?

Not yet! We have started the process, and you can see our progress in our Vanta trust center: https://app.vanta.com/howie.ai/trust/g5wd6jqs1x5a632e9ftzv

Do I need to train Howie to use it?

After scheduling 50,000 meetings for customers in our beta, we learned a lot about what people want. So, Howie comes built in with some sensible defaults that we are proud of and we expect will work well for you. And, he is endlessly customizable so if you have strong opinions about how your secretary should engage, he will abide.
