The Problem
Professionals are increasingly overwhelmed by administrative tasks—ranging from coordinating meetings across multiple calendars and companies to managing communications among stakeholders. These tasks consume valuable time that could otherwise be dedicated to strategic, high-impact work. Consequently, many find themselves constantly playing catch-up with their inboxes, meeting invites, and completing actual work. For many, this stressful situation is becoming unsustainable (source).
Despite the abundance of productivity tools available, there is still a significant gap in truly intelligent and seamless task and meeting automation that mimics human interaction.
The last thing professionals want is yet another "booking link" (like Calendly or Doodle) that essentially tells them to "figure it out yourself!"—a practice that, at best, is considered poor form in a professional setting (source).
Solution
Meet Trickle, the first Voice-First AI assistant that takes care of your administrative overload.
Trickle addresses these challenges by providing a voice-first AI assistant that takes over the administrative burden of tedious yet essential tasks. Whether it's sending and requesting availabilities to set up a meeting, automatically calculating travel time and incorporating it into planning, or summarizing back-and-forth communications on a project or topic, Trickle allows users to focus on their actual work without getting bogged down by these time-consuming tasks.
Trickle's AI is designed to manage both team and personal schedules, optimize tasks, and facilitate efficient communication in a human-like manner. It ensures high-quality and efficient task execution, significantly reducing the administrative burden on users.
Key features include calendar synchronization, which automatically blocks time across different (client) calendars, and a groups feature that allows users to set up project or team groups, enabling instant meeting scheduling.
The quick meeting setup feature is engineered to set up a meeting with any group of people, across any company, in under 20 seconds. For attendees not yet on Trickle, Trickle automates the entire communication process, sending and replying to emails to schedule a meeting that aligns with your and/or your team's availabilities.

What's Voice-First?
Trickle was built on the idea that people want to interact with their digital executive assistant just as they would with a real-life assistant —using their voice or a written message, rather than navigating through form fields to get tasks done.
Trickle offers an innovative wizard designed to tailor the search for a timeslot to the user's specific needs. However, the Voice-First approach aims to make this complex functionality accessible through simple natural language commands, using context to enable a straightforward request like "Set up a meeting with my project team next week" to just work -as if by magic.
In that scenario, Trickle will deduce the following:
Which attendees are part of the "project team"
The typical location, duration, urgency, and subject of the meeting
Previous meetings, allowing it to propose open action items and tasks
And more...
You won't need to worry about how Trickle handles the meeting planning—whether it's through Trickle's internal system or automated emails— you can simply trust that it gets the job done.
Trickle's vision
Trickle envisions the dawn of a new digital age, where human-AI collaboration unlocks possibilities once reserved for science fiction. The company believes that the most profound impact of this collaboration will be experienced in everyday life.
As the CEO of Trickle stated:
