How the Katteb Agent Tidies Your Calendar, Step by Step
- The agent signs into your calendar platform, such as Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, or another popular provider.
- It retrieves all events and appointments scheduled for the next calendar week (Monday through Sunday).
- The agent scans for overlaps where two or more meetings are booked at the same time.
- It identifies gaps or inefficient breaks longer than a defined threshold between appointments.
- The agent analyzes your preferences and priority settings to determine which events can be shifted.
- A streamlined schedule is proposed that resolves conflicts and optimizes time blocks.
- The agent sends polite and professional reschedule requests to meeting participants for any changes.
- After changes take effect, it confirms the updated calendar with you.

What to Expect and What Is Not Promised
The agent can only access calendars for which it has proper permissions and cannot modify events on third-party calendars without consent.
Automatic rescheduling depends on the responsiveness of other meeting participants; the agent proposes changes but cannot guarantee acceptance.
Platform-specific limitations or rate limits may affect how quickly events can be updated or retrieved.
Sensitive or private meeting content is handled securely, but users should consider privacy policies of their calendar provider.
Some complex recurring events or integrated meeting tools may need manual follow-up despite automation.
Questions people ask
Can the agent handle multiple calendar accounts?
Yes, the agent can work across multiple supported calendar accounts if you provide access. It will tidy each calendar separately and coordinate conflicts within and across those calendars as needed.
How does the agent decide which meeting to reschedule in case of overlap?
The agent uses your priority preferences if provided. Otherwise, it defaults to rescheduling the least critical or most flexible meeting while respecting your availability and participants' general availability.
Will the agent notify me before sending reschedule requests?
Yes, the agent provides a summary of proposed changes for your review before any requests are sent out, allowing you to approve or adjust the plan.
What happens if other participants decline the reschedule request?
If a reschedule request is declined, the agent notifies you promptly to decide the next steps. You might choose to keep the original time, negotiate a different slot, or manually intervene.
Is my calendar data kept private?
All calendar data accessed by the agent is handled with confidentiality and stored securely according to platform policies. The agent works within your authentication scope and does not share calendar contents externally.
