How we carried out out scheduling assistant research
We wanted to explore the tools that push boundaries of smart scheduling. We reviewed five AI-powered apps, Motion, Lemcal, Reclaim.ai, Clockwise, and Scheduler AI, based on how well they complement the Calday experience and their potential for building your own scheduling ecosystem.
These tools were chosen because they tackle different scheduling pain points our users often face: managing focus time, coordinating with large teams, syncing multiple calendars, and automating external meeting bookings. By understanding what these leading tools do well (and where they fall short) we can better guide our users toward solutions that suit their unique workflows.
Each app was tested over two weeks, focusing on ease of setup, AI-driven scheduling accuracy, and overall usability. We paid close attention to how each product handles calendar conflicts, time zone juggling, and smart prioritization; all key concerns for Calday customers.
Whether you're a solo consultant or part of a fast-moving team, this comparison is designed to help you discover new tools, spot trends in AI automation, and get ideas for maximizing your productivity with Calday or beyond.
