Why your calendar still sucks in 2019: The Shuffle and The Cycle

Hi folks,

We've been spinning up a new startup, Reclaim.ai (reclaimai.com) and are excited to share our early thoughts on product direction with you.

Unlike a lot of the calendaring / AI-assistant startups out there, we're taking a pretty targeted JTBD approach where we empower managers with power tools for rebalancing their calendars based on the priorities they have each week. Instead of just "defragging" or blocking out the calendar, we're really thinking in terms of how we can help people to tactfully defend their time and automate the parts of calendar shuffling that just aren't fun.

Additionally, we're really optimizing our offering around the "managers", not the "makers" -- in contrast to how many other companies are thinking about this problem today. We fundamentally believe that software managers are being underserved and that they are actually even more critical players in driving forward company priorities.

We would love to get this community's feedback as well as early signups for when we go into beta! Feel free to add your thoughts here, or drop us a line at info@reclaimai.com.

Thanks much, Henry and Patrick
