Your calendar shouldn't be a source of stress. With Nova, managing your schedule is as easy as having a conversation. Here are our top tips.

Natural Language Scheduling

Forget clicking through date pickers and time slots. Just tell Nova what you need:

  • "Schedule a team standup every weekday at 9am"
  • "Move my 2pm meeting to Thursday"
  • "Find 30 minutes for a coffee chat with Alex this week"
  • "Block off Friday afternoons for deep work"

Nova understands context, relative dates, and recurring patterns.

Smart Conflict Detection

Double-booked? Nova catches conflicts before they happen. When you say "Schedule lunch with Sarah tomorrow at noon," and you already have a meeting at that time, Nova will suggest alternatives: "You have a product review at noon. How about 12:30 or 1pm?"

Time Zone Intelligence

Working with global teams? Nova handles time zones automatically. "Schedule a call with the London team at a time that works for both" will find overlapping business hours and suggest optimal slots.

Meeting Prep

Before each meeting, Nova can:

  • Summarize the last meeting notes with that person
  • Pull relevant documents and links
  • Prepare a brief agenda based on recent communication
  • Send a reminder 15 minutes before

Protect Your Focus Time

Tell Nova "I need 2 hours of uninterrupted work every morning" and it will:

  • Block the time on your calendar
  • Decline or reschedule conflicting invitations
  • Set your status to "Focus Time"
  • Pause notifications during that window

Weekly Review

Every Sunday, ask Nova "What does my week look like?" and get a clear summary of upcoming meetings, deadlines, and free time. Perfect for planning ahead.

Getting Started

Connect your Google Calendar in the Integrations page, and start scheduling with natural language. Nova learns your preferences over time โ€” the more you use it, the smarter it gets.
