Here’s what’s new in Tempo:

  • Add events with natural language – A mobile calendar is as much about viewing events as it is adding them. In fact, on average, Tempo users create a calendar event about once every two times they open the app. This is the fastest-growing experience in Tempo and it continues to grow. Now, in Tempo, users can add an event in plain English (e.g., “Coffee w/ Tracy next Tues at 2 to 3”), making it even easier to manage valuable time.
  • iOS Reminders built right into the calendar – Productivity hinges on focusing on the tasks that matter most. Now, with the iOS Reminders app integrated in Tempo Smart Calendar, users can add, view and complete tasks with due dates directly from their calendar. Over 14 percent of calendar events created by users are tasks, and integration with iOS Reminders helps people stay on top of their task management.
  • New design – Tempo’s design has always been a mix of beauty and brains. With this release, the company has added new contextual icons, more one-tap actions and new calendar views that are sure to delight everyone from the light calendar user to the heavy meeting warrior.
  • Waze integration – Tempo continues to integrate more data sources and services right into the calendar. Recently, Tempo integrated Speek’s free conference calling service and today, Tempo is announcing the integration of the popular Waze app to the calendar. Now, users can get community-based directions to meetings and events and avoid accidents, roadblocks and backups.
  • Smart personalized email – Tempo’s powerful artificial intelligence engine acts like a smart assistant to understand what content is most important. Now, Tempo will send a personalized email suggesting follow-ups with people, news about relevant people and companies and more to better help users follow up on their workweek and prepare for what’s to come.


 “We want to put an end to the mindless time sinks people encounter every day, and take care of the little things so they can focus on the big things,” said Raj Singh, CEO and co-founder of Tempo AI. “Creating an event on the go can be a hassle, which is why so many people actually wait until they’re in front of their desktop calendars to do so. That’s why we brought location auto-complete and suggested contacts to the mobile workflow – and now, our powerful natural language processing makes it that much easier and faster to add an event, wherever you are. Likewise, as we bring more contextual information into the calendar, adding iOS Reminders was a natural addition given how people use their calendars to stay on top of their to-do lists. In this release, we’re extending our smarts to add more shortcuts that increase productivity.”
 
On a mission to end app surfing
Tempo Smart Calendar puts an end to “app surfing.” It pulls together disconnected information from a range of data sources, putting everything you need right into the most intuitive place – the calendar.

  • Join conference calls without dialing passcodes.
  • Add an event to your calendar.
