Example requests

The When agent reads your message together with the calendar on screen, so “this week” and “this” need no more detail. Name a calendar or an exact date when a request reaches beyond what you can see.

Read your schedule

• “What's on Thursday?”
• “What's on my Work calendar next week?”
• “When was my last dentist appointment?”
• “Which bills are due before the end of the month?”

Find free time

• “Find me a free hour this week.”
• “Do I have time for a 45-minute call tomorrow afternoon?”

Add events and periods

• “Add lunch with Sam tomorrow at noon.”
• “Add focus time from 9 to 11 AM next Monday and Wednesday.”
• “Add a trip to Lisbon from May 3 to May 10.”
• “The credit card bill is due Oct 16. Push me 5 days before, and email me 1 day before.”
• Attach a screenshot of a hotel confirmation, then “Add this.”

Move and change

• “Move the design review to Friday at 2 PM.”
• With an event selected: “Make this 30 minutes.”
• “Move the weekly standup to 10 AM.” This moves the whole series.

Archive

• “Archive my dentist appointment on Wednesday.” One clearly named item is archived right away.
• “Archive the weekly standup.” Archiving a repeating event takes the whole series, so the agent asks first.

Look up a public date

• “When is CES 2027? Add it to my Work calendar.” The agent searches the web, tells you the dates and where it found them, and asks before adding anything.
• “Add the Formula 1 race weekends.” When a Discover calendar covers the schedule, the agent links it so you can subscribe.

Find your way around

• “Take me to next Thursday.”
• “Where do I turn on week numbers?”
