HeyBobFind the time without the tab shuffle.
Connect Google Calendar and Bob finds free slots, sets up the meeting and answers invites, asking before your calendar changes. In the HeyBob app on Mac, Windows and Linux, or in Slack.
- Your own calendar, not a shared one
- Asks before he books
- A receipt on every job
What Bob can do in Google Calendar.
He uses the calendar and permissions of the person who connected it. Looking is free. Anything that lands on someone’s calendar waits for your OK.
Read and find time
List your events and find the free slots that fit what you asked for.
Create a meeting
Set the time, the guests and a description pulled from your other tools.
Answer invites
Accept or decline an invitation for you, then tell you it is done.
Five things to hand him.
Say it the way you would to an assistant.
“Find three 30-minute slots when I’m free Thursday or Friday afternoon. Keep Friday after 3 open.”
Options right where you are talking, no calendar screenshot.
“Set up the Friday 1:30 review with Priya and Owen. Put the launch brief from Drive in the description.”
He finds the doc, prepares the meeting and asks before invites go out.
“Every weekday at 7:30, brief me on today’s meetings. For outside calls, add the latest Gmail thread and the HubSpot deal stage.”
The calendar has the schedule. Your other tools have the context.
“Look at my project meetings from last week and compare them with open Linear work. Which promised follow-ups have no issue?”
A meeting on the calendar is not proof the work happened. It is a good place to look for gaps.
“Accept the customer review next Tuesday and let the team know when it’s done.”
It changes your calendar, so he asks first.
Connected in a minute.
Tell Bob to connect Google Calendar.
Tap the button he posts and sign in with Google.
Check what he is asking to see and choose the right Google account.
Come back and ask again. The job picks up from there.
Each person connects their own calendar. Free time only counts calendars that person can already see, and meetings are created as that person.
The calendar says when. Bob’s notes say what was promised.
On Mac and Windows, the HeyBob app takes notes on any call with no bot joining, on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex or Slack huddles. Every action item gets Have Bob do it, so “let’s meet again next week” becomes a meeting he finds time for and asks you to confirm.
- Say the time zone. Name it when guests or travel cross regions.
- Check before you approve. A meeting is a promise to other people. Look at the guests, time and description.
- Repeat jobs are separate. A daily brief runs on Bob’s own schedule and never needs a calendar event.
Common questions.
What can Bob do with Google Calendar?
List your events, find free time, create meetings and answer invitations, all through the account you connected.
Whose calendar does Bob use?
Your own. Each person connects their own Google account, and Bob acts with that person’s calendar and permissions.
Does Bob ask before creating a meeting?
Yes. Anything that changes your calendar asks first, unless you have allowed that exact kind of change.
Can Bob see a coworker’s private calendar?
Only if the connected account can already see it. He has no access beyond yours.
Can Bob run repeat jobs as well as book meetings?
Yes. Bob runs jobs on a schedule, like a morning brief, and uses Google Calendar when the job needs your events or free time.
