Arrive with the context ready
Prepare
Collect documents, prior decisions, and open questions before a meeting or work block begins.
Your calendar should trigger work, not just remind you about it.
Turn meetings, deadlines, and recurring blocks into agent-ready tasks that can be prepared, executed, and followed up from the same workspace.
- Works with existing calendars
- Prepares scheduled tasks
- Human approval where needed

See a scheduled block turn into prepared work
Floatboat can gather context before the event, run repeatable steps, and queue the follow-up after it ends.
Scheduling connects time to execution.
Calendar events already define when work matters; the workspace connects them with the preparation around that moment. Compare task context, scheduled material, and follow-up handling while preserving the decisions that still require a person's review.
Turn recurring events into workflows
Run
Use a schedule to trigger reports, reviews, research, or other repeatable tasks.
Close the loop after the event
Follow up
Generate action items, organize outputs, and schedule the next step while the context is still fresh.
Use Cases for AI Scheduling Assistant
Weekly reports, client reviews, and editorial calendars each create a different preparation deadline. Connect those events with current material and review checkpoints, while keeping scheduled drafting separate from permission to publish or send.
Protect the operating rhythm
A weekly reporting routine can begin with a schedule, an agreed template, and approved information sources. Prepare the current material at the planned time and route the draft to its review checkpoint. Keep follow-up actions attached to the plan so preparation and approval remain distinguishable.
Prepare every account review
Before a client review, gather the latest deliverables, unresolved issues, and decisions awaiting confirmation. Tie each item to its source and mark missing information instead of filling gaps with assumptions. The preparation packet should help that particular meeting reach its decisions, rather than repeat an old summary.
Keep a publishing cadence moving
An editorial calendar can connect topic research, draft preparation, and review deadlines. Use each milestone to prepare the material needed for the next handoff, retaining the research behind the draft. Publication remains a separately authorized action, even when the preparation routine runs on a schedule.
Prepare follow-up after an event
A completed meeting may leave decisions, unanswered questions, and preparation for the next date. Connect the approved notes with that calendar context and draft a follow-up list for review. Confirm ownership and any proposed external action separately, so scheduling the preparation does not silently authorize sending messages or changing commitments.
Prepare work around a calendar event
An event becomes a useful work trigger when its preparation task and inputs are explicit. These steps connect an existing calendar entry with draft review and subsequent decisions, keeping the scheduled work separate from authorization for further action.
Bring in the relevant event
Connect or import the calendar you already use and choose the event or recurring work that needs preparation.
Define the preparation task
Specify what should happen before or after the event and attach the files, notes, and open actions needed for the brief.
Review and decide what follows
Read the prepared result, check important facts and open questions, and approve any follow-up that requires a decision.

Scheduling Assistant questions
Does Floatboat replace my calendar?
No. The goal is to work with the calendars you already use and add preparation, execution, and follow-up around scheduled time.
Can a calendar event run a recurring workflow?
Yes. A recurring event can be connected to a repeatable task such as a weekly report, meeting brief, content review, or follow-up sequence.
Will the agent act without approval?
Approval boundaries depend on the workflow. Routine preparation can run automatically while external messages, file changes, or other consequential actions can wait for review.
Is scheduling still the main Floatboat product?
Scheduling is one important capability inside the broader Floatboat agent workspace. Files, tools, agents, persistent context, and approvals form the larger operating environment.
What context should a meeting-preparation event include?
Attach the agenda or project reference, participant context, source documents, and the expected brief. Distinguish information preparation from permission to email attendees or change their calendars.
How should I plan work that spans several time zones?
Record the event time zone and check the displayed local time before using it as a trigger. For recurring work, account for daylight-saving changes and define what to do if preparation finishes after the meeting moves.
Turn the next calendar block into prepared work
Attach the brief, sources, and repeatable steps to the event so the agent can prepare work before the meeting or deadline.
