Google Calendar

You can use BrightMind with no connection at all: it has its own built-in tasks, ready from the moment you sign in. Google Calendar is a different kind of connection, and a separate one: it is about events, the things that reserve a time on your day, not about your tasks. Connect it if you want BrightMind to plan around what is already in your calendar.

Tasks and events are two different things. A task is something to do; an event reserves a time in a calendar. Connecting Google Calendar is separate from choosing a task manager, and tasks you create with BrightMind do not turn into calendar events. Once Google Calendar is connected, BrightMind sees the events on your day and plans around them when it suggests times, maps out your week, or sets reminders. Events are context rather than hard walls: if something you ask for overlaps what’s already there, BrightMind points the clash out and still does what you asked, so you stay the one deciding. You can also ask it to create, move, or delete events directly from a conversation.

Open the app, go to Settings → Integrations, and find the calendar card below the task managers. Tap Connect Google Calendar, pick the account you want to use, and grant BrightMind access to your calendar. You’re connected as soon as the sign-in completes. During onboarding there is a separate calendar step that offers this same connection.

After connecting, ask “what’s on my calendar tomorrow?” and see whether it names the events you know about. Then send one test event: say “put lunch with Sam on Thursday at noon in my calendar”, and check that it appears in Google Calendar itself. If it didn’t, try once more before reconnecting the account.

BrightMind supports more than one Google account on the same login. You might connect Personal and Work side by side, give each a label, and turn either one on or off without disconnecting it.

Tap an account to choose which of its calendars BrightMind can see. Each calendar has its own checkbox, so you can leave out a shared family calendar or a noisy holidays feed and keep the rest.

When you ask the assistant about your day, it checks all enabled accounts at once. If you mention a specific account by name (“my work calendar”, “Personal”), it routes to that one; otherwise it queries everything in a single step.

• Show what’s on your day or week, across every connected account.
• Find open slots (e.g. “when am I free this afternoon?”).
• Create new events, with location, attendees, and reminders.
• Move or update existing events, including recurring ones.
• Cancel events and respond to invitations.

Most changes happen as soon as you ask. The big ones are the exception: before deleting or rescheduling more than 10 events at once, BrightMind lists exactly which events it’s about to touch and waits for your go-ahead.

BrightMind requests Google’s calendar scope so it can read and write events on the accounts you connect. We don’t use the data for ads, we don’t sell it, and no human at BrightMind reads your calendar content except for support or abuse investigation.

You can disconnect any account at any time from Settings → Integrations (long-press the account and choose Remove). Disconnecting deletes the stored tokens immediately on our side. See our privacy policy for the full retention and deletion story.
