As digital assistants improve, we&re learning new things to expect from them, but the tasks that a real-life assistant may have handled
before can still be a bit of a challenge to home assistants.
Amazon Alexa voice assistant is gaining functionality to help it get smarter
about working with your calendar
The new abilities will let users move appointments around and schedule meetings based on other people availability.
If you&ve been shared on
someone calendar availability, Alexa will be able to suggest times that work for both of you
Just say, &Alexa schedule a meeting with [name]& and Amazon assistant will search through your schedule for a good time, suggesting up to
two time slots that could work.
On a more basic feature level, Alexa won&t make you cancel appointments and reschedule them if a meeting
You&ll be able to just ask Alexa to move an existing meeting, something that should have probably been supported from the beginning, but
hey, better late than never.
Both of these features are available to U.S
