Carly AI

Overview

Carly AI (formerly CalBot) is an AI agent platform that enables users to automate email, calendar, workflow, and back-office operations through natural-language email requests. Unlike conventional productivity apps, Carly operates entirely through email—you simply CC Carly on a message or send a direct request, and the platform interprets the intent, executes the required actions across your connected tools, and replies in context. With over 120 integrations, Carly allows individuals and teams to build custom AI agents that handle scheduling, email triage, CRM updates, lead enrichment, research, reporting, and more, all without requiring a dedicated desktop or mobile application.

At the core of the platform is a sophisticated email-driven orchestration layer. Carly can sort incoming email, follow up with leads, pull financial reports and save them to folders, send recurring reminders, enrich form leads, and monitor inboxes for urgent items. The platform supports multi-step workflows that chain actions across email, calendar, CRM, spreadsheets, and internal systems, giving users AI-powered execution with full visibility and control over how agents interact with stakeholders. Users can start from agent templates or the prompt library, build custom agents for specific roles, and deploy workflow templates for common processes such as sales pipelines, executive inbox management, data briefings, and internal operations.

Beyond the email assistant, Carly offers a suite of free tools including group scheduling, booking pages, calendar sync, email-to-calendar invites, time zone meeting planning, and a Pomodoro timer. For technical teams and developers, Carly provides MCP (Model Context Protocol) support and a Chrome extension, enabling deep integration into existing toolchains and custom agent-to-tool connectivity. Whether used as a personal executive assistant or as a platform for enterprise-wide automation, Carly is designed to reduce context switching, automate repetitive tasks, and keep work flowing without application overhead.

Carly is positioned as a practical AI workforce companion for roles across sales, marketing, customer support, engineering, HR, finance, and operations. It unifies communication and execution inside the email thread, making automation accessible to non-technical users while still offering the flexibility and integration depth required by technical teams.
