The Future of Calendars: Predictions and Trends

We live in a world where online calendars are part of our daily lives. No matter how diligently you use an online calendar, you always benefit from it. For example, you might be reminded to send a birthday card online, schedule events or business meetings, or block out your day.

It's important to realize that online calendars are still a relatively new and rapidly growing productivity tool. In fact, your online calendar is increasingly becoming a personal assistant that will advise you on the best way to spend your time. But, there is much more than calendars are capable of in the future, such as the following predictions and trends.

Troubleshoot scheduling issues.

“So far, it looks like the reinvention of the calendar will happen in two phases,” notes David Pierce for Protocol. "First, users will have access to a new set of tools, integrated with Google and Outlook calendars, but opening up many new features."

After that, calendars will be turned into a standalone service if they prove effective. Similarly, Slack is to email, Zoom is to a desk phone, and Airtable is to Excel, all of these are hoping to be in your Outlook calendar, he adds. "Time is money, all of these calendar companies will argue with investors and customers, and we'll save you both."

"We're only at the beginning of the first phase though, and we're still tackling the first problem worth solving: planning. How about a solution? That's also simple than speeding up the process.

Superhuman, for example, scans emails for dates such as "next Friday" and allows users to send invitations accordingly. Scheduling is, in essence, a messaging problem. Therefore, it should also be available as an email solution. Along the same lines, Vimcal, often referred to as "Superhuman for calendars," is a new app that emphasizes speed, and CEO John Li said most people want meeting creation is done at lightning speed.

Agenda is another option if you want to speed up the planning process. The Find a Time feature in Calendar lets you quickly schedule with other people. Using multiple calendar users, create events based on their availability and see when they're busy.

Chatbots will be able to organize your appointments.

Working life has become quite complicated as a result of the pandemic. For example, working remotely from home isn't as easy as it looks. Many of us struggle to keep up with the increasing demands of our time.

At the same time, the number of US employees working remotely is expected to grow to 36.2 million by 2025, so we're going to have to get used to these new working conditions. Fortunately, technology can save the day.

Most of the time, the job involves scheduling meetings and being on time. To make your life easier, you can use a chatbot to help you set up appointments. Chatbots can still be useful as an additional tool for scheduling meetings, such as SharePoint calendars.

You can also schedule meetings using Messagely or TARS. It is also beneficial to manage teams remotely and track their time using a time tracker. It is possible to balance work and life with the help of these chatbots.

Chatbots and AI-based software also show great promise in helping businesses become more productive and profitable. For example, a phone validation app checks the validity, line type, network operator, location, etc., of the line to improve productivity.

These chatbots can handle scheduling and organizing meetings while you focus on other important tasks.
