  • Publication number: 20210056450
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to event scheduling. An indication of an attempt to schedule a first meeting designated at a first time is received. Attendee calendar data for a prospective meeting attendee invited to the first meeting is received. A determination is made that the prospective meeting attendee is scheduled with a second meeting designated at the first time based on the attendee calendar data. A probabilistic availability that the prospective meeting attendee will be available to attend the first meeting at the first time is calculated. The probabilistic availability is then compared to a threshold. In response to the probabilistic availability satisfying the threshold, the first meeting at the first time is scheduled for the prospective meeting attendee.
