Hi! This has been in my backlog, so I wanted to quickly post about a one-on-one app that we made a couple of months ago for the West Coast EA Retreat and Midwest EA Retreat.
Pairwise is a simple scheduler for 1:1s at retreats and other events. You can sign in with a magic link, mark the slots you're free, browse other attendees and see when your availability overlaps, and request meetings.
You can try a demo retreat here and read about its use at the West Coast EA retreat here.
If you want to use pairwise for an EA or AI safety or similar retreat/event, please let me know! You can email [email protected] or DM me.
