Yes. Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot can pick out meeting details from your emails and suggest adding them to your calendar, or add them automatically.
But there’s a benefit to Schedule Us working outside these platforms.
Our lives are porous and intertwined
- What about the dinner invitation you get on WhatsApp?
- Or the event reminder in your work email that you want to put in your personal calendar?
- Or the coffee date you made face-to-face when you ran into your friend at the market?
Sure, Google’s AI can update your Google calendar based on a message you receive in your Google email account, but the many parts of our busy lives are too porous, too intertwined, for just one platform to contain.
All-knowing AI
For a Google or Apple user, for example, with contacts, photos, messages, history and other data all on one service, AI has huge potential to deliver insights and automations—some of which they are already offering.
AI can get great value out of the data in our apps. But often the trick is getting the info into your app.
AI should help with this too—hence Schedule Us.
It doesn’t have to be guesswork
When AI gets added to tech, it starts suggesting things based on your history and past behaviour. It starts guessing at what you want.
Of course AI is far better at this than previous algorithms, but in the end, it’s still a version of:
“You just booked a holiday in Mexico, here are hotels in Mazatlán.”
Your past behaviour is not the best guide to what you want. The same applies to your email: messages from others don’t reflect your intentions.
AI performs miles better when it knows, rather than guesses, what you intend. Schedule Us lets you tell it—quickly and simply, the way you’d talk to a person—exactly the meeting you want in your calendar.
Shhhh, don’t interrupt
When I want AI to do something for me, I’ll tell it. Until then, it should stay quiet and out of the way.
That’s reason enough to use Schedule Us.
