I'd love to hear your thoughts

I have an idea for a new type of service but I don't know if people will use it and how to market it.
I want to build a smart time management API.
Google has a service that gives you the ability to open your calendar and let people schedule appointments at predetermined hours.
But what if you wanted to give the option of setting hours more dynamically? For example, open your calendar from a certain time to a certain time and let the user decide how log he needs an appointment to be or preset some preset options? Then send to the user all the free time in an optimized list.

I Think this kind of service will be grate for some business and managers who need more flexibility for there time management.

Do you think it's a good idea?
Would you use such a service?
How do you think you can make money from it?
How would you market it?

    I think the last 2 questions are ones you need to answer yourself first. It seems like it would be really hard to monetize, and I still can't see how it's different from calendly.

    It's a tough space. Anything to do with project management or task management is heavily saturated with a lot of products.

    Being an indiehacker, I'd humbly recommend you find a different route.

    If you're looking to bootstrap and make money, make sure you do a B2B startup. Also make sure that you talk to a lot of people to validate your idea.

    Good luck!
