Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about CalAssist.

What is CalAssist?

+

CalAssist is an AI Executive Assistant for professionals and an execution platform for teams. It keeps your day organized — scheduling, notes, follow-up emails — and makes sure every commitment made in a meeting ends up owned, dated, and followed through.

How is CalAssist different from meeting bots like Otter.ai or Fireflies?

+

Meeting assistants summarize a call and stop. A summary isn't an owner, and it isn't a deadline. CalAssist turns what was said into a tracked commitment with a real owner and a real date, then follows up before it's overdue — not after. It's the layer underneath your calendar, task manager, and meeting notes that keeps them all honest.

How does CalAssist capture commitments from meetings?

+

CalAssist listens to your meeting conversations and uses AI to identify decisions, tasks, and commitments. After the meeting, it presents a summary with extracted items for your review and approval before anything becomes a tracked commitment — you stay in control of what gets recorded.

Where does CalAssist work?

+

On the web, in WhatsApp, and inside Microsoft Teams. The web app gives you a live view of every commitment across your meetings. WhatsApp delivers reminders and follow-ups where your team already messages — no login required. In Teams, CalAssist sits inside your existing meetings and channels. It connects to Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook.

Can CalAssist take actions without my approval?

+

No. CalAssist only acts on what you authorize, and gives you full visibility into every meeting, task, reminder, and message it touches. Admins get oversight into how commitments are tracked and followed up across their teams.

Is CalAssist free?

+

Yes. CalAssist offers a free Starter plan that includes calendar connection, daily meeting load analysis, pre-meeting briefs, and AI meeting summaries. Paid plans start at $18/month for Pro and $15/seat/month for Teams.

Does CalAssist keep my data private?

+

Yes. CalAssist pseudonymizes all personally identifiable information before AI processing. Names, emails, and phone numbers are replaced with tokens, so AI systems never see your actual personal data. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

How do teams use CalAssist?

+

Every "I'll handle it" from a meeting is pulled out and assigned to an owner with a date. CalAssist checks in before things are overdue, and managers see what's moving and what's stuck without asking for status updates. It's used by accounting and CPA firms, consultancies, sales teams, professional services, operations, and leadership teams.
