       Show HN: Kali - Scheduling Assistant for iOS
        
       Hey HN! Launching Kali today and I'm super excited to iterate on
       this.  I hate scheduling and my gf got sick of managing my calendar
       for me, so I made an AI do it instead. :)  Please let me know what
       you think!

         | now I just want to know if the app is something people like :P

       | What's a simple example use case for this software? I understand
       | "scheduling assistant" but what does it actually do?
       | 
       | Also, what's the AI component?

         | If I were your assistant managing your schedule and you come to
         | me and say "I have a sales meeting next Tuesday." Of course I'd
         | schedule the sales meeting, but I might also schedule time for
         | you to 1) Research the client, 2) Drop off dry-cleaning to look
         | sharp for the meeting, 3) A time to pick up that dry-cleaning.
         | 
         | That's what a "scheduling assistant" does. :)
         | 
         | AI is good at reasoning what other events should be scheduled
         | along w/ an event.
         | 
         | Thanks for your question!

       | I could see this getting Sherlocked by Siri, which you can take
       | as a compliment.

         | I'd be flattered for sure. I think there's a lot of uncaptured
         | value in AI to API requests, in general. Imagine an app that
         | schedules "Flight at LAX at 2pm", but also offering to order
         | the Uber to the Airport in time to get there 2 hours before
         | departure. Sounds pretty cool to me and until OpenAI's GPT
         | Plugins have broader support, I'll build that :)

         | Haha alright, I can turn off flirting by default for the next
         | update. And how late in the afternoon did it suggest for a
         | lunch?
