What each one does

macOS Calendar

  • Sets up recurring meetings (daily standups, weekly 1-on-1s, biweekly check-ins)
  • Adds reminders and alerts before events
  • Handles all-day events and blocks of time
  • Works with multiple calendars (personal, work, projects)

Google Chat Manager

  • Send messages to Google Chat spaces and direct messages
  • Create, update, and delete Chat spaces (group chats or named rooms)
  • Add or remove members from Chat spaces
