[3] Doodle was founded in Zürich, Switzerland by ETH Zurich students Michael Näf and Paul Sevinç in 2007.

[4][5] Näf came up with the idea of creating a scheduling tool after experiencing difficulty coordinating time for dinner with his friends.

Meekan was a chatbot developed in Israel that used artificial intelligence and natural language processing to schedule meetings.

[12] Its core features include the ability to coordinate meetings and schedules through a poll system,[13] which does not require user registration for basic functionality.

[17] Paid plans provide access to additional features such as unlimited booking pages and 1:1s, single sign-on, customizable branding, activity reports and onboarding.

[20] During the rise of remote work during COVID-19, Doodle added integration with virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams.

[26] Its desktop and Android versions were both given positive reviews in PCMag, and the software received an Editors' Choice award from the magazine.
