let's meet at 2pm tomorrow - automatically adds a calendar event.

How does that pan out when 2pm is not good for the other person?

"Hey Greg, let's meet at 2pm tomorrow."

"Sure, great. Wait, I have that code review starting 1:45, so 2pm is not a good time. Shall we meet at, say, 11am instead?"

"No, 11am is not good for me. Let's meet around noon tomorrow?"

"Got to pick up the kid at noon but I'll be back at work around 12:30pm. Can we meet over lunch at 12:30pm? I am free till the code review starts."

"OK, let's meet at 12:45 then."

"Cool!"

Does this add five calendar events to the calendars of both the people in the conversation?

Glad that you ask! Let me explain. In fact, "automatically" is actually a bit misleading. The correct term must be "half-automatically", because everything triggered within ChatGrape still requires your confirmation. (If not, we'd be flooded with false-positives.) Think about tagging on Facebook, specifically, writing a status update and tagging a page of a friend. If you start typing his / her name, Facebook will add a drop down menu and suggest the name(s) - you can select it or choose to ignore it - and the drop down will disappear again. This said, if you were to type, "No, 11am is not good for me. [first drop down with calendar event suggestion, which you simply ignore and go on typing] let's meet around noon tomorrow?" [second drop down with calendar event suggestion, which you confirm, and thus send me a calendar event invite]. Does this make sense?
