AI meeting scheduling: model comparison (2026)

Short answer: Most top models can schedule meetings reliably. On 20 fresh, held-back requests, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GPT-6.1 Sol, Grok 4.7, Claude Opus and Claude Sonnet all scored 100%. Grok 4.20 scored 41.7% and often booked over busy events, so we don't recommend it. GPT-5.4 mini (90%) is usable, but check every time it proposes.

Scores

Each model read a calendar and email thread, proposed a valid time and drafted a reply. Valid-answer % on 20 held-back and 42 main requests.
