Hello everyone and welcome back to the Keep Productive YouTube channel
today's video will give you first impressions on Woven calendar a brand new calendar tool that is touted to be the
intelligent calendar for busy professionals now
It is an application that's been developed by 2x Facebook employees
One of them Tim Campos the CIO chief information officer for six years at Facebook
So we're going to be diving into this application. It's ranking well on product temp. So let's dive into woven calendar in today's video
Hello guys
So we are looking at woven calendar now woven calendar is meant to be an intelligent calendar allowing you to manage
Meetings and your schedule ahead. It's got a few map based features shared scheduling
It's going to sistent and it touts this intelligent functionality through machine learning
So it's it seems quite quite an interesting application now, it's currently free through the beta period so it's got no pricing to it
It's available through web which we'll be demoing today
And via the App Store for iOS now
You're probably wondering what calendars does it connect up with in a moment through at the moment only
Available through G suite it has office 365 coming soon. So the premise of this application is super simple, although
It's trying to blend in the ability to use map functions to have more shared
Scheduling so you can communicate through other platforms messaging platforms and also an assistant to help you get things done
So we're going to dive into the resource show you the web version today
So let's start with this main panel in the center list tap this away
So that's simply how you get rid of that left navigation bar
You can see here that it's giving you obviously your regular Google Calendar
so it's important my Google Calendar and
I've got two week view on and you can also view it in different viewing options like for day a full week or just
day view you can also see other people's calendars too and
Also columns through other people's calendars. So that's peckers and a location calendar, too
So for example, if you have an event, let's say of got tomorrow
So if I skip forward to tomorrow's calendar if I click the location?
You can see there that it's given me an indication of the travel
So for example, I could ignore that travel or I could even end it to the calendar
But I can also click in and see the information that I have in front of me, too
So it actually allows you to see everything in advance and also plot potentially plot out your travel now
That's one of the bonus features of the experience is the ability to have maps embedded in there
So for example, if I add a location here and I just click Exeter UK if I update it
What should happen is on the map you get a bit more data
Now as you can see here, you can see the travel time as well as whether you want to add it to your calendar
too
So the goal is to make travel a lot easier and that's great if you've or someone who automatically answered travel information
To your calendar now that is one of the views inside the experience
But I tend and I probably will just keep it at this viewing option
So as you can see here, I'm gonna create a brand new meeting
You can see that I've invited Barbara along that's really easy to do. All you have to do is type in the email
I've connected it to my own calendar and I put two suggested times into so for example if I want to
Add another suggested time. All I have to do is press add time and select the amount of time
I wish the meeting to go on as well as what time in the UK
It should be now if I wanted to select the two or just choose one of those and go with it
Then I can have one other suggested time and that's the time I would ideally want it
So if I click send message I can actually directly send her a message
Like I would be sending their on email as well as adding a description and some private information like tags and notes
Now if I click schedule then what will happen is
She'll get a message in her inbox and that will go directly to our inbox as a rescheduled time
now if I see up here
You've got active are all of the active
Drafts and you can go and so you could save a few of them as well as suggested and archived if that comes to it
Now as you can see
This is what the email could be demonstrates like
this is a welcome message from the bots that they've demonstrated so you could send a pretty
Intricate message to other people so you can collaborate based on location in time
Which is quite a nice addition now first time using this I would say that it's fairly
complex to use in terms of adding the details
But I guess the suggested times comes in real handy because I guess when you're looking to find the time on a new schedule
That's something very important
So if I want to defy the team time so tomorrow let's say then it will give me a few options
As you can see it's giving me the times I'm available and the times I'm not available when I even busy
Obviously something's in my calendar. So that's a nice addition believe that came from sunrise. Well has obviously evolved from sunrise
Now down here. I've also got event updates
This is basically like a feed of all of your events coming through so you can see any changes you've made
You've also got my time so you can see any time that it's appearing on there
So the only conflicts between events and activities and stuff that
You do you can also add any other calendars as well as search. Now this application is super duper simple at the moment
It's got an iOS application and you can go into settings and change the details for the travel time
And also email labeling. So for example, you can use the email laboring to labor it Lilla
so this is the email labeling below I've detected that on so whenever there's a
Schedule related email it will label that with the label woven inside of your Gmail account
which is easier to detect inside of Gmail the only application as a whole what I would say is I
Would probably only use it for this viewing option right now. The application does look good
There's no doubting that as you can see this view is lovely and be able to add events is pretty nice as well
And I like the suggestion features
So I might just be using it as my Google Calendar replacement just temporarily on web
I'll see what the iOS version is like but in my opinion
The actual like travel when mapping, I guess at the moment doesn't have much value to me
But as time goes on and maybe I travel more because I'm remote at the moment, then it might be valuable
So again, I will include all the information about woven below. So if it's something that you're interested in, dude
