Yes, exactly his point. Scheduling meetings doesn't get more exciting because you strap some statistical natural-language processing to it and call it "AI", as if that was a meaningful term.

It's not supposed to be exciting; 87 US knowledge workers schedule a little bit above 10 billion meetings a year. I just want to help them do that (no more, no less). Users couldn't care less how it is done and I would be very hesitant to market this under any "AI"/STAT/ML/NLP moniker. So back to my starting point - we just schedule meetings.
