1. When You Have Too Many Meetings
When you have 5 or more meetings a day, you end up walking into them unprepared. With Google CLI + AI, you can manage your calendar smartly.

2. Auto-Generated Daily Briefing
2.1 Fetching Today's Schedule
const events = await google.calendar.events.list({
calendarId: 'primary',
timeMin: todayStart,
timeMax: todayEnd,
orderBy: 'startTime',
});
2.2 AI Briefing
const prompt = `Here is today's meeting schedule. Please write a briefing.
For each meeting:
1. Time and title
2. Attendees
3. Expected topics (inferred from title and attendees)
4. What to prepare
For the overall schedule:
- Available time blocks for focused work
- Back-to-back meeting warnings (no break time)
- Priority suggestions for the day
Schedule:
${JSON.stringify(events, null, 2)}`;
2.3 Output Example
# Today's Briefing — 2026-03-31 (Mon)
## Meeting Schedule
- 09:00-09:30 **Daily Standup** (full team) -> Share yesterday's work
- 10:00-11:00 **Design Review** (design team) -> Review Figma file beforehand
- 14:00-15:00 **Client Meeting** (external) -> Progress report needed
- 16:00-16:30 **1:1** (manager) -> Prepare this week's goals
## Free Time (available for focused work)
- 11:00-14:00 (3 hours) <- Today's golden time
- 15:00-16:00 (1 hour)
## Heads Up
- Lunch break before the 2 PM client meeting may be tight
3. Meeting Notes Integration
After meetings, AI can organize recordings/notes and attach them to the calendar event:
// After meeting ends
const meetingNotes = await generateMeetingNotes(audioFile);
// Add notes to calendar event
await google.calendar.events.patch({
calendarId: 'primary',
eventId: event.id,
description: meetingNotes,
});
4. Schedule Conflict Detection
const prompt = `Please analyze next week's schedule.
Check for:
1. Meetings with time conflicts
2. Gaps under 30 minutes (insufficient travel/prep time)
3. Days with 4+ meetings
4. Days with less than 2 hours of focused work time
5. Optimization suggestions
Schedule:
${JSON.stringify(nextWeekEvents, null, 2)}`;

5. Automation Workflow
Every morning at 7:30
-> Fetch today's schedule
-> Generate AI briefing
-> Send via Slack/email
Every Sunday evening
-> Analyze next week's schedule
-> Detect conflicts/overload
-> Send optimization suggestions
