Neocal is a free AI-powered calendar management tool that enables you to schedule, update, and manage events using natural language.
Instead of clicking through multiple screens to create appointments, you can tell Neocal “Schedule lunch with Sarah next Tuesday” and watch it handle the scheduling automatically.
This tool integrates directly with Google Calendar and syncs across all your devices, so changes made in either Neocal or your existing calendar appear everywhere instantly.
This means you can keep using your current workflow while adding AI-powered scheduling capabilities on top.

FAQs
Q: Can I use Neocal with multiple Google Calendar accounts?
A: Yes, Neocal supports connecting and managing multiple Google Calendar accounts from a single interface, making it useful for people who maintain separate personal and professional calendars.
Q: What happens if I delete an event in Google Calendar?
A: Changes sync bidirectionally, so events deleted in Google Calendar will also disappear from Neocal, and vice versa. This maintains consistency across all your calendar applications.
Q: How does Neocal handle different time zones?
A: The tool automatically detects and adjusts for different time zones when you schedule meetings with people in other locations. For example, you can tell it to schedule a call at 10 AM in their time zone, and it will convert it correctly for your calendar.
