Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of articles are on this blog?
Floatboat's blog covers calendar-driven AI and proactive agents, model news and benchmarks, practical tool comparisons, and how solo operators put these systems to work. Articles are grouped by topic above and are published in both English and Chinese.
Is Floatboat a calendar-driven AI agent?
Yes. Floatboat is the proactive desktop agent that runs work from your calendar: it prepares for meetings, drafts and follows up, and starts recurring routines — connected to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Feishu. Posts under the "Calendar AI" topic explain the approach and how to put it to work.
I found a workflow I want to try. How do I start?
Start with one task you actually want automated. Most how-to articles include the exact steps and tooling. If the workflow involves Floatboat, start the $1 trial from floatboat.ai/download, connect your calendar, and give the agent one meeting or one recurring task to run end to end.
Can I subscribe to new articles?
Yes. Use the newsletter box in the footer of this page to receive new posts by email. You can also follow Floatboat on X or LinkedIn through the footer links.
How often is the blog updated?
New articles are published regularly in both English and Chinese as models, agents, and workflows evolve. Posts that track a model or product are refreshed with an updated date whenever something significant changes.
Are the English and Chinese versions the same?
Every article is available in both English and Chinese, written natively rather than machine-translated. The topic archive pages under /blog/category/ work the same way in both languages.
