Its features include AI Focus Time, which automatically defends uninterrupted deep-work blocks based on your weekly goals; AI Smart Meetings, which finds optimal times across attendees’ schedules; AI Tasks and Habits, which flexibly schedules recurring activities and to-dos throughout your week and reshuffles them as things change; AI Scheduling Links for sharing availability; calendar sync to block time across multiple accounts at once; and time tracking and analytics for productivity insights. Because it works dynamically, it continuously rearranges your flexible commitments around fixed ones so your priorities actually get time.
