Scan my inbox and calendar for repeats and offer to handle them
An app built on Gmail and Calendar looks for recurring tasks, then asks whether to prep meetings, emails, or bills.
- What they did
- A developer described building Dexi, a layer on top of Gmail and Calendar. It watches for patterns on its own, such as meetings that happen over and over, email replies the person keeps writing, and bills that come back regularly. When it spots one, it asks whether it should set up a prep step or schedule it for them instead of making them repeat the same request each time.
- How it went
- The builder said it was still early and rough. They did not share usage numbers, and they asked people to try it and tell them what breaks.
- Tips
- This works best if the agent can read both mail and calendar history. Make sure it asks for confirmation before creating events, sending replies, or paying bills.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Review my last [3] months of Gmail and Google Calendar. Find repeated meeting patterns, recurring email replies I seem to handle, and bills that show up on a schedule. For each one, suggest a helpful prep or reminder step, like drafting an agenda, flagging a reply template, or setting a due-date reminder. Before you create any event, send any message, or make any payment, pause and ask for my approval.
