Tempo AI Scheduler

Tell Tempo what you need in plain language and it handles the scheduling — no forms, no dragging, no hunting for an open slot. Type or speak a request like "schedule standup tomorrow at 10am for 30 minutes" and the Tempo AI scheduler understands what you mean, proposes the exact action and time, and — once you confirm — carries it out. It creates and reschedules events, cancels meetings, parks items on your shelf, manages the bookings you host, and finds time across a window, all while respecting your working hours, your timezone, and your permissions.

What It Can Do​

CapabilityExample you can say
Create events"Schedule a 1:1 with Maria Thursday at 2pm for 30 minutes."
Reschedule"Move my 3pm to 4pm."
Cancel / delete"Cancel my 10am standup tomorrow."
Add to the shelf"Add 'Quarterly review prep' to my shelf for next week."
Manage bookings"Confirm the 2pm booking with Sarah."
Find time"Find a 1-hour slot for a standup next week."

For bookings you host, it can confirm, decline, reschedule, cancel — and reassign where that is supported.

How to Use It​

  1. Open the Tempo command bar.
  2. Type or speak your request in plain language — for example, "Find time for a 1-hour planning session next Tuesday afternoon."
  3. Review the proposed action and time the scheduler understood.
  4. Confirm to carry it out, or correct it and try again.
tip

You do not have to be precise. "Set up a half-hour catch-up with the design team Friday morning" is enough — the scheduler fills in the details and shows you the result to confirm before anything is created.

Context-Aware Understanding​

The scheduler reads your real schedule, so it can resolve the way people actually talk:

  • "My 3pm" — it finds the event at 3pm on your calendar.
  • "Thursday afternoon" — it infers a sensible time in your working hours.
  • Your timezone and working hours — proposed times land inside your real availability, in your timezone.

Because it can see your day — including auto-captured meetings and synced Google events you have chosen to block with — it proposes times that actually work, not times that clash with reality.

Always Within Your Permissions​

The AI scheduler is permission-gated and follows the exact same rules as the manual interface:

  • It acts only on your own events and on bookings you host, own, or administer.
  • It can never touch calendars you do not have access to.
  • It proposes first — you confirm or correct before anything is created, moved, or cancelled.

Think of the AI scheduler as a faster way to do what you could already do by hand — it does not unlock any new powers, it just lets you skip the clicks.

Settings and Configuration​

Natural-language promptWhat you type or speak — the request itself.

  • Plan a meeting — "Schedule a board meeting next Thursday at 2pm for 90 minutes with the exec team."
  • Accept a booking — "Confirm Monday's interview with Jane."
  • Recover a slot — "Decline the 3pm support call and find a new slot tomorrow."
  • Quick capture — "Add 'Draft Q3 roadmap' to my shelf for Wednesday."
  • Find time fast — "Find an hour next week that works for a 1:1 with Carlos."

Frequently Asked Questions​

What is the Tempo AI scheduler?​

The Tempo AI scheduler is a conversational assistant inside Copera. You type or speak a plain-language request like "schedule standup tomorrow at 10am for 30 minutes" and it interprets what you mean, proposes the action, and — once you confirm — carries it out. It can create, reschedule, and cancel events, add items to your shelf, manage bookings you host, and find open time across a window.

Does the AI scheduler understand vague time references?​

Yes. It is context-aware. It resolves references like "my 3pm" and "Thursday afternoon", and it respects your working hours and timezone, so you can speak naturally instead of spelling out exact dates and times every time.

Can the AI scheduler change other people's calendars?​

No. The AI scheduler is always permission-gated and follows the same rules as the manual interface. It acts only on your own events and on bookings you host, own, or administer — never on calendars you do not have access to.

Does the AI scheduler act without my confirmation?​

It proposes an action and the time it understood, and you confirm or correct it before anything happens. This keeps you in control — you always see what will be created, moved, or cancelled before it is done.
