Find the hidden clashes in your calendar
Spot overlaps, missing travel time and a genuinely free block of time.
Published: · Version 1
A prompt to try
Check my calendar for [DATE/PERIOD] in [TIME ZONE]. Appointments: [TEXT OR AN EXPLICITLY CONNECTED CALENDAR APP]. Desired breaks and necessary travel time: [DETAILS]. Use only information actually available. Without app access, ask me for appointment texts; do not claim a connection. Show overlaps, uncertain time zones, missing buffers and no more than two possible free work blocks. Do not invent travel times; mark them as still to be checked. Distinguish fixed appointments from movable ones using my information. Suggest a change with advantages and disadvantages, but do not create, move or delete appointments. State the limits of the period you checked.
Copy the text into your AI, fill in the placeholders and check the answer.
