• 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 Tasks Manager

• Creates and manages multiple task lists in your Google account
• Adds, updates, and deletes individual tasks within any list
• Moves tasks between lists or reorders them within a list
• Marks tasks complete or clears all completed tasks at once
• Retrieves all your tasks or a specific task list on demand
