FlowSavvy Auto-Scheduling

AI Decision Making

FlowSavvy considers:

• Available Time: Gaps between meetings and appointments
• Task Duration: How long each task needs
• Deadlines: When tasks must be completed
• Priorities: Importance ranking of different tasks
• Energy Patterns: Your productivity throughout day
• Time of Day: Matching task types to optimal times

Dynamic Adaptation

When things change:

• New task added → Schedule instantly updates
