Calendar: Run Google Calendar From a Sentence
A walkthrough of the Calendar app: month, week, day and agenda views, quick-add, RSVPs, a free-slot finder, and a chat that edits your calendar.

The Calendar app is your whole Google Calendar inside Yantra, with one addition: a chat where "move it to Thursday" is a calendar change, not a suggestion.
Connect once
Open Calendar and connect your Google account. Your calendars appear in the sidebar with a mini month, a Create button and Find time. The toolbar switches Day, Week, Month and Agenda, with search and quick-add.
Create the way you like
Press Create, or n or c. Click an empty month cell. Click and drag on the time grid. Or type a sentence into quick-add: "Lunch with Sam tomorrow 1pm."
Do everything else
Edit, duplicate or delete an event, with a confirmation on delete. RSVP Yes, Maybe or No. Invite and remove guests. Move an event to a different calendar. Hide or show calendars. Search across all your calendars from six months back to a year ahead. If a save fails, the draft is kept and marked Not synced, so nothing you typed is lost.
Shortcuts: d, w, m, a for views, t for today, / for search, Esc to close the detail pane.
Find time
Find time shows a busy/free density bar and a list of openings. Or ask: "Find me a free hour in the next 7 days", "which afternoons this week are still open?", "which day this week is the most booked?"
The chat rule
Every chat turn maps to exactly one action: create, create with details, reschedule, cancel, invite, uninvite, RSVP, move to another calendar, find time, or answer a question. The agent understands the event on screen, so "invite priya@example.com to this" works after you open the event. It never announces a change the calendar did not confirm, and it never books a question as an event. If you press Stop while a write is in flight, the change may still land.
Honest limits
You cannot drag an existing event to move it; use the editor or ask the chat to reschedule. Duplicate copies the time, title and calendar only. Creating or deleting calendars, colours and sharing still happen in Google Calendar. Recurring events keep their rule, but editing one instance edits the series.
Next door
Turn on the notetaker for a meeting from Meetings, which connects to the same calendar.
