How to Manage Your Calendar with OpenClaw
Let your AI agent handle scheduling, reminders, and calendar organization across all your devices.
Introduction
Calendar management is one of those tasks that feels small but adds up. Checking availability, scheduling meetings, rescheduling conflicts, and setting reminders all consume time that could be spent on actual work. An OpenClaw agent can handle all of this through conversation.
Prerequisites
- A KiwiClaw account with an active agent (setup guide)
- Calendar access via a supported skill (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Notion)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Install a Calendar Skill
Install the appropriate calendar skill from the Skills Marketplace. Options include Apple Reminders, Notion calendar integration, or Google Calendar via API.
Step 2: Connect Your Calendar
Authorize the skill to access your calendar. Follow the skill-specific setup instructions to grant read and write access.
Step 3: Test Basic Operations
Try simple queries first: "What is on my calendar today?" or "Do I have any meetings tomorrow morning?" Verify the agent can read your calendar correctly.
Step 4: Set Up Scheduling
Ask the agent to create events: "Schedule a team standup every weekday at 9:30 AM for 15 minutes." The agent creates the event in your calendar.
Step 5: Configure Daily Summaries
Use cron jobs to get a daily agenda delivered to Telegram or Slack every morning.
Pro Tips
- Combine with email -- The agent can check your email for meeting requests and add them to your calendar automatically.
- Include in your morning briefing to see today's schedule alongside news and weather.
- Set smart reminders -- Ask the agent to remind you about upcoming deadlines via your preferred channel.
- Block focus time -- Tell the agent to block 2-hour focus periods in your calendar every day.
