Restore Default-Based Meeting Creation in AKI Assistant

Features & Improvements Request

Problem
Previously, the assistant handled lightweight scheduling extremely well. A simple command like “book me a meeting at 7 PM tomorrow” would automatically create a one-hour calendar event with a generic title (e.g., “Meeting”), without asking follow-up questions. This made voice-based scheduling fast and frictionless.

Currently, the assistant asks multiple clarification questions before creating the invite (event title, end time, etc.). This introduces unnecessary back-and-forth and significantly reduces the value of using the assistant for quick, hands-free actions.

Why this matters
The core reason I use the assistant is speed and convenience. In most cases:

  • If I want a generic meeting, I expect sensible defaults to be applied

  • If I need something specific, I’ll provide those details upfront

The current flow feels more manual than assistive and breaks the “just say it and it’s done” experience that worked so well before.

Requested behavior
Please consider restoring (or adding an option for) default-based meeting creation where:

  • Missing details are auto-filled with reasonable defaults (e.g., 1-hour duration, generic title)

  • The meeting is created immediately unless clarification is strictly required

This would bring back a much smoother and more intuitive experience, especially for voice commands.

    Hey Saran!

    I'm Tadej, Product Manager at Akiflow, and I really appreciate you sharing how this is impacting your workflow.


    The "just say it and it's done" experience you described is exactly what we're aiming for, so I want to make sure we understand what's happening here.

    Quick question: When did you first notice this change in behavior?
    Was it after a recent update, or has it been like this for a while?


    I'll take this back to the team to investigate what changed and why.


    Thanks for taking the time to share this!

    Thanks for the detailed feedback! We completely understand the value of quick, default-based scheduling and why the current flow feels slower than expected.

    Appreciate you taking the time to share this!
