Complete guide to Reclaim AI
Getting started
Sign up at reclaim.ai and connect your Google Calendar or Outlook (initial setup takes less than 10 minutes). Set your working hours and start adding tasks, habits, and focus time goals; Reclaim automatically organizes them on your calendar by priority, and only reorders them if a new conflict comes up.
Use cases
Defending focus time (Focus Time)
Set a weekly deep work hours goal and let the AI protect those slots against meetings that try to take them over.
Finding the best meeting time across multiple people (Smart Meetings)
Have the AI analyze every attendee's availability and propose the slot that interrupts each person the least, factoring in time zones and buffer time.
Availability booking links (Scheduling Links)
Share a link so others can book a slot directly on your calendar, even showing low-priority blocks as available.
Automatic habits and breaks
Schedule recurring habits (exercise, breaks) or travel time between meetings so they self-schedule just like any other task.
Advanced setup
- Automatic reschedulingWhen a calendar conflict comes up, Reclaim reorganizes only the affected events instead of requiring manual adjustment.
- Task priorityEach task, habit, or meeting has a priority level that determines what gets moved first when the calendar fills up.
- Integrations with task managersConnects with Todoist, Asana, Jira, Linear, ClickUp, and Slack, so tasks created in those tools get scheduled on the calendar automatically.
Tips
- Set your Focus Time goal first, before adding lots of loose tasks — that's what gives the AI the criteria to protect deep work slots.
- Use high-priority Scheduling Links when you want the availability shown to others to ignore low-priority tasks marked as busy.
- Connect your existing task manager (Asana, Jira...) instead of manually duplicating tasks in Reclaim.
- Review the generated calendar every morning like you would with any auto-scheduler — the AI gets it right most of the time, but it's worth double-checking before an important day.
FAQ
Does Reclaim replace Google Calendar?
No, it works as an AI layer on top of Google Calendar or Outlook, not as a standalone calendar.
What happens if my availability changes mid-week?
Reclaim automatically reschedules lower-priority tasks, habits, and meetings to adapt to the change, with no manual intervention.
Does it also work for coordinating teams?
Yes, Smart Meetings analyzes multiple attendees' availability at once to find the slot that interrupts each person the least.
