## What Paul is

Paul is scheduling software that works from an existing email conversation. After a verified account owner connects Gmail and Google Calendar, they can add `paul@ccpaul.com` to an email thread and describe the scheduling request in ordinary language.

Paul is not a general-purpose assistant. Its public job is scheduling.

## What Paul can do

- Find a suitable time and create a Google Calendar event.
- Reply in the existing email thread while coordinating a request.
- Reserve a meeting room when Google Calendar exposes a compatible room resource.
- Reschedule an event Paul created.
- Cancel an event Paul created.
- Use the account owner's saved time zone, availability, minimum notice, and meeting buffer when the email does not provide a more specific instruction.
- Ask for clarification or stop safely when it cannot act without guessing.

## How to use Paul

1. Create a Paul account with Google.
2. Connect the Gmail identity associated with Google Calendar.
3. Confirm scheduling availability and defaults.
4. Add `paul@ccpaul.com` to the To or CC field of an email.
5. Write a natural request, such as “Paul, find us 30 minutes next week.”
6. Keep the participants and earlier context in the email thread.
