I need to create a demo video. It basically rearranges your calendar anytime something important comes up that you need to take care. It makes sure the calendar stays in sync to your day without much context switching. It is adaptive time blocking to your priorities. There is also things like creating buffer before and after if you train it so events of similar context end up with prepare time and review time after. So no more continuously moving around your calendar every time something comes up.

It's secondary function is to properly fix and place tasks that you might sync from 3rd party apps like monday or clickup. Things that can be added are like color, duration along with time preferences and priority level for the schedule assist. Semantic search helps in copying over these values from a previous similar task or from a tag that has default values for these attributes (automatically using zero shot classification based pretrained model).

The $3.5 plan is not recommended for work calendars. It reorganizes all events into 30 minute parts when the scheduler runs and then joins them together before updating your calendar. You want the $6.50 one with 15 min accuracy to allow more flexibility. The $3.5 is for personal use cases.

Sounds kind of like Motion, except much cheaper.
It's similar and different in the sense I aimed for complete automation. In other words, once you train Atomic and get the settings right, all you have to do is tap and select a range for the scheduler to work on. Plus my goal (future road map) is to replace multiple calendars into a single calendar and a single source of truth. For this to work tagging and semantic search become an important part for availability and privacy.
