- Eva: Thank you. Your brief is with Thabo now, and you'll have an answer by email within three working days.

How it works
Pencilled in tonight. Inked in tomorrow.
Most lost work isn't turned down. It goes to whoever answered first. Diarised answers straight away, holds what needs holding, and puts nothing in your diary until you say yes.
- 1 · Any hour
Ask
People open your desk link, the widget on your website or the QR code on your last slide. Eva answers from the profile, FAQs and fees you approved, and asks the questions you would.
- 2 · While you decide
Pencil in
Engagement enquiries get a 72-hour hold on the date, and a clashing request joins a waitlist. Meetings go only into windows you allow. Everything else arrives as a brief.
- 3 · One tap
Ink it
The brief reaches your phone. Accept, decline with a polite reply, propose a fee or ask for more. Accepted dates go into your calendar, with travel blocked.
Pencilled in (hold)Inked (confirmed)Busy, no details shown
What it does
A front desk that never sleeps, and never oversteps.
Answers only from what you've approved
Your bio, topics, services, FAQs and fee text. Anything else becomes a question for you, never a guess.
A proper brief, every time
Who, what, when, where, audience, budget band and deadline, checked and confirmed by the person asking.
Dates held while you decide
A 72-hour hold, reminders before it runs out, and a waitlist when two people want the same day.
One tap to decide
Accept, decline with a template reply, propose a fee, ask for more or extend the hold, from the email on your phone.
Only the time you allow
Protected windows, daily caps and a private VIP list. Nobody is told why a time isn't offered.
Its own booking engine
Meeting types, reminders, reschedule and cancel links, and Google Meet or calendar invites by email. No Calendly needed.
Your diary stays private
Visitors see when you're free. Never why you're busy.
What visitors see
- Open times your weekly rules allow
- Your approved bio, topics, services and fee text
- The status of their own request
What they never see
- Who you're meeting, or where you are
- Your other enquiries and what they're worth
- Anything in your calendars, goals or VIP list
Not another booking link
A booking link gives out slots. A front desk looks after you.

Questions
Questions people ask first.
Is Eva a real person?
No. Eva is an AI assistant and says so on your desk and in every email. You can give your assistant another name; it will still say it's an AI. Every decision stays with you.
What if someone asks something Eva doesn't know?
Eva answers only from the profile, FAQs and fee text you've approved. Anything else becomes a question for you, and the person is told you'll reply. Each week you see the unanswered questions and can add an answer in one click.
Can people see my calendar?
Your public desk can't see your diary. It only gets the open times your weekly rules allow, never event names, attendees or places. See exactly what each part can see.
Which calendars work?
Google Calendar connects directly, and Diarised writes holds and bookings to its own calendar there. For Outlook, Microsoft 365 or Apple, you add a busy-only calendar link and Diarised sends invites by email. A direct Microsoft 365 connection is planned.
Do I still need Calendly?
No. Diarised has its own booking engine: meeting types, hours, buffers, reminders, and reschedule and cancel links. Moving over is a short guided step.
When can I start?
We're opening Diarised to 30 South African founding members first, in small groups. The public launch, with a 14-day free trial and no card needed, follows. Apply for a founding place.
