Help me make gaming online with friends easier!

Often times I want to log online and play a video game with a friend. I am a busy guy. Between working my usual 9-5, my 2 courses I'm enrolled in (to learn product management and to learn FS dev), my wife, and my new born baby as well as having an existent social life ... it's hard for me to balance all of these and find the time to play video games, let alone with friends.

I know I am not the only person plagued with this trouble. There are many professional working class individuals that would like to play games online with friends who have trouble coordinating this time. Sometimes I will only have an hour or two and not from 8PM-2AM like I would have had not too long ago.

I'm thinking about building a product called Playdate. Playdate would be an application that would coordinate preset open availabilities to play games together. I wouldn't go as far as to say AI, but the idea would be to input that you can play Sun, Thurs, Fri from 7pm - 11pm for example and Playdate would go to your friends within the app and make suggestions on who to play with for your allotted time. Or, if you are unavailable reply back with an OOO message and an alternative time to play.

Ideally you would be able to log in with your FB, Google, Discord, Twitter, accounts to find and invite your friends within the app. Not sure if it should be a web app, native phone app, a calendar extension or a bot within slack or discord (not easily monetized).

Not sure if it should be just a scheduling platform or an all-in-one solution where you can chat, video call, etc.

This product is for anyone who plays video games with others online. I don't want it to be a match making service for people truing to find other random people to play with. Only people you actually know, or at worst, friends of friends.

Lots of games can be played online, from Fortnite, to Modern Warfare to Super Smash Bros and Animal Crossing.

I'm hoping Playdate will take a lot of the back and forth texting between multiple friends to see who can play and when and let it be a lot more seemless experience. Much like SavvyCal by @dannyreimer.

Playdate would have integration to your calendars eventually (Outlook, Google, iCloud, etc) and you'd be able to specify which console (because people own more than one a lot of the times), and game you'd prefer to play and also have all of your gamer tags from various games located all in one place.

I would definitely appreciate any feedback and hear from others if you're experiencing a similar problem.

Thanks!
