an ai assistant for your google calendar
connect google calendar once, then text ka on iMessage in plain english to book, move, cancel and check events. it reads your calendar for conflicts, picks a free slot, and texts back to confirm what it changed.
what you can ask for
- book something. “dinner with priya thursday 7pm” becomes an event, with her invited if you say so.
- move something. “push my 3pm to friday” finds the event and reschedules it.
- cancel something. “kill the standup tomorrow” deletes it and notifies the guests.
- check something. “what have i got saturday” gets a readable answer, not a screenshot of a grid.
- find a gap. “when am i free for an hour next week” reads round what is already booked.
how to connect it
after you sign up, your account page lists the apps ka can use. connecting google calendar takes one tap and goes through google’s own consent screen, so your password is never given to ka. you can disconnect from that same page, or revoke access from your google account settings, without cancelling your subscription.
why this beats a scheduling link
scheduling links are built for meetings with strangers who will tolerate a booking page. they are actively bad for the calendar work that fills a normal week: a dentist appointment, dinner with a friend, moving a call because you slept badly. that work is small, constant, and never worth opening a tool for, which is why it piles up.
texting fits because the request is already a sentence in your head. you send it in the six seconds you have, and it is done. nothing gets deferred to when you are next at a laptop, which is where most of it used to go to die.
the rest of your google too
calendar is usually the first thing people connect, but ka works the same way with gmail, sheets, docs and drive. it can read and sort your inbox, keep a spreadsheet up to date from a text, write you a whole document and send the link, and find a file in your drive without you going looking. see how an iMessage assistant works for the general picture.
common questions
can an ai assistant manage my google calendar?
yes. once you connect your google account, ka can create events, move and cancel them, check what you have on, and find free slots. you make the request in a normal iMessage and it reports back what it changed in your calendar.
how do i schedule a meeting by text?
you text the request the way you would tell a person: 'coffee with priya thursday morning'. ka checks your calendar for a free slot, creates the event, and confirms the time it picked. if you say to invite someone, it adds them as a guest.
is it safe to connect my google calendar to an ai assistant?
you authorise it through google's own oauth screen, so ka never sees your password, and you can revoke access from your google account at any time. ka only reads or changes your calendar in response to something you asked for, and you can disconnect it without cancelling your subscription.
