FAQ

How the task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI see my private notes in calendar events?

    The AI can only see the data provided by the calendar tools, such as titles, times, and descriptions.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my entire calendar?

    No. The AI only deletes specific events that you explicitly tell it to remove.

  • 03

    Can the AI invite other people to a meeting?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating and managing the event itself.

  • 04

    Does the AI manage my recurring meetings?

    The AI can delete or create individual events, but it does not have a specific tool for managing recurring series logic.

  • 05
