The problem it solves

Calendar alerts get buried under everything else on your phone, and by the time you notice one, the meeting has already started. You end up scrambling to prep or apologizing for being late, especially on busy days packed with back-to-back calls.

Who it fits

Solo operators and small team leads with packed calendars who keep missing or forgetting meetings.

How it works

  1. Checks your Google Calendar every minute for events starting within the hour
  2. Skips any event that already got a reminder
  3. AI writes a friendly, natural-sounding reminder with the event details
  4. Sends the reminder straight to your Telegram
What you get

Meetings you never walk into unprepared

You get a friendly reminder an hour before every meeting so nothing catches you off guard.

What you get

A friendly Telegram message reminding you of each upcoming meeting with its details.

What you need

A Google Calendar account, a Telegram account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
