🌟 GPT of The Week

Efficiently Organize Your Life

Calendar GPT

Effortlessly streamline your schedule, optimize your time, and stay on top of tasks and meetings with the Calendar GPT. Simply sync your Google, Microsoft Outlook/Office 365, Apple/iCloud, Exchange, and/or other CalDAV-compatible calendar, and this GPT will:

  • Provide an overview of your daily/weekly/monthly schedule — with the option to filter events by certain details (e.g., attendees)

  • Send event reminders, meeting links, & alerts for schedule conflicts & heavy meeting days

  • Schedule & manage events — checking others’ calendars to simplify meeting coordination

  • Suggest schedule adjustments to minimize conflicts & find time for your key tasks, routines, & goals

  • Analyze how you spend your time, identify peak productivity hours/days, & offer personalized suggestions for optimizing your time

  • Identify potential tasks to delegate, recommend work-life balance improvements, & offer tailored time management strategies

You can ask things like:

  • “Can you schedule time for [task] in the [‘next available 30-minute time slot’ or ‘during my most productive time’]?”

  • “How many hours of meetings do I have tomorrow, and can you help me reschedule some?”

  • “Can you schedule 1 hour of [‘deep work’ or ‘exercise’] every morning for the next 2 weeks?”

  • “Can you move my 2PM meeting to another day this week when I have more free time?”
