What is Dragonfly?

Dragonfly speeds up slot lookups on 2.0 as its cluster-mode fixes keep coming.

Dragonfly maintains two incremental lines, 1.40 and 2.0, with small targeted releases. The 2.0 line has fixed dropped writes during slot migration and moved experimental slot-based sharding to Fibonacci hashing. i2.0.6 on October 30 makes GetSlotInfo faster, another cluster-mode refinement.

What is SavvyCal?

SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.

SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

Dragonfly vs SavvyCal: editorial side-by-side

D
Dragonfly
INFRA · APIS
5.0

Dragonfly speeds up slot lookups on 2.0 as its cluster-mode fixes keep coming.

◆ Current state

Dragonfly maintains two incremental lines, 1.40 and 2.0, with small targeted releases. The 2.0 line has fixed dropped writes during slot migration and moved experimental slot-based sharding to Fibonacci hashing. i2.0.6 on October 30 makes GetSlotInfo faster, another cluster-mode refinement.

◆ Where it's heading

The 2.0 line is maturing through cluster and migration work, while 1.40 gets targeted performance backports. Release cadence has slowed from paired weekly builds to occasional single fixes.

◆ Prediction

Expect further 2.0.x builds focused on cluster mode and slot migration; whether scope-based memory tracking gets switched on is still unclear.

2.5

SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.

◆ Current state

SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

◆ Where it's heading

For most of the year SavvyCal has added control for hosts and assistants who schedule for others. The MCP server extends that to software assistants: the same booking and rescheduling actions now work from a chat. That puts SavvyCal's scheduling logic inside other tools instead of only on its booking pages.

◆ Prediction

Expect follow-ups that widen what the MCP server can do, such as more scheduling actions. The single release gives little else to predict from.
