Scheduled 1:1s are useful, but plenty of real conversations happen off-cycle: a quick check-in after a rough sprint, a private word before a decision is announced, a moment where someone just needs to talk. Sending a calendar invite for that can feel formal, and finding a meeting link mid-DM breaks the moment.
Instant Meet lets either person type /meet directly in the 1:1 DM. A private Google Meet link is shared between just the two of you, with a matching calendar event for the record — nothing more, nothing exposed to anyone else.

Synced to Google Calendar
Start a spontaneous, private check-in without it looking like a formally scheduled event.
Sensitive conversations start where trust already exists — the DM — not in a separate tool.
No calendar invite trail for informal chats, just the two people already in the conversation.
Skip the recurring calendar invite and the stale Zoom link. Type /meet in your standup channel and everyone joins the same fresh Google Meet, every day.
When production breaks, seconds matter. Type /meet in the incident channel and every responder gets the same live Google Meet link immediately.
No scheduling, no separate app. Type /meet in the DM or thread you're already debugging in and start sharing your screen.
