It is very hard to do an asynchronous negotiation with another human in an APP like setting. It is also hard (perhaps impossible) to create a UX experience which anticipates all potential future requests.

- Hi Amy, can we push the meeting tomorrow 20 min ?

- Hi Amy, let’s do the meeting when John is back from holidays (Friday, yes?)

- Hi Amy, Let’s do the meeting end of next week, preferably Thursday

- Hi Amy, Have John call my Skype (if he's got an account) instead of Cell, and add Linda to the invite please.

- Hi Amy, set something up with Jordy from Softbank next week, heck, I'll do something outside my scheduling hours as long as it is next week.

I scheduled 1019 meetings myself as startup founder in 2012 [0] and this is all I want, which obviously does not equal us being able to pull it off.
