Problem
People often have tentative plans mentioned in conversations, notes, or texts that never make it onto their calendar, leading to forgotten commitments and mental overload. Traditional calendar apps only capture events once they are decided, leaving users to manually track and resolve undecided items.
Solution
IonCity is an AI‑powered scheduling assistant that lets users capture a vague plan by simply stating it. The assistant asks minimal clarifying questions, checks the user's Google Calendar for open slots, and proposes suitable times. Once the user confirms a choice, IonCity creates a calendar event that syncs bidirectionally with Google Calendar. The AI learns the user's scheduling preferences over time, improving its time suggestions. It also highlights conflicts when rescheduling, ensuring users can resolve clashes without mental cross‑checking.
Target Audience
IonCity is aimed at professionals and knowledge workers who manage multiple meetings and personal commitments and rely on Google Calendar for scheduling.
