What's a simple example use case for this software? I understand "scheduling assistant" but what does it actually do? Also, what's the AI component?

If I were your assistant managing your schedule and you come to me and say "I have a sales meeting next Tuesday." Of course I'd schedule the sales meeting, but I might also schedule time for you to 1) Research the client, 2) Drop off dry-cleaning to look sharp for the meeting, 3) A time to pick up that dry-cleaning.

That's what a "scheduling assistant" does. :)

AI is good at reasoning what other events should be scheduled along w/ an event.

Thanks for your question!

Your software will be impossible to search for because there is already a very popular and highly discussed software with the same name.

I was taking the strategy of no one has an iOS app called "Kali", but perhaps it's a bad strategy. We'll have to see. For now I just want to know if the app is something people like :P

This is kind of awesome. I could see this getting Sherlocked by Siri, which you can take as a compliment.

Thank you!

I'd be flattered for sure. I think there's a lot of uncaptured value in AI to API requests, in general. Imagine an app that schedules "Flight at LAX at 2pm", but also offering to order the Uber to the Airport in time to get there 2 hours before departure. Sounds pretty cool to me and until OpenAI's GPT Plugins have broader support, I'll build that :)
