Orbital's founder came to us with a clear problem: executives waste 6+ hours a week on scheduling friction — rescheduling 1:1s, hunting for focus time, managing timezone chaos across distributed teams.
The ask: build an AI scheduler that learns your working style and acts autonomously. Not a copilot — a chief of staff. Ship in 11 weeks. Be production-ready from day one.
signal layer
Orbital ingests calendar events, email threads, Slack, and linear tickets. Not just what's scheduled — what's actually happening. We built a normalisation pipeline that deduplicates, weights recency, and surfaces intent.
the model
Fine-tuned on scheduling patterns from 40k anonymised calendars. The model learns each user's meeting style, deep-work windows, and collaboration rhythm. It gets better every week without the user doing anything.
action, not insight
Most scheduling tools give you a dashboard. Orbital books the meeting, declines the overlap, and moves the 1:1 before you've had coffee. Every suggestion is one tap. No friction.
the model doesn't just schedule — it understands why you schedule. that's the difference between a tool and a chief of staff.
your week, already planned
Every Monday at 8am, Orbital sends a weekly brief: your schedule is already optimised, blockers are surfaced, and the one thing you need to do before 10am is at the top. Most users stop looking at their calendar.
let's build your zero → live.
