Would love if there was natural-language based event creation, which is one of the primary reasons I use Fantastical. "Lunch /w Ben" should auto-populate an event for the most plausible time with the most plausible person.
@dilan Great idea. Right now the Woven Assistant will respond to natural language requests in emails (https://woven.com/assistant/) but it would be great to have that in the app UI as well. We could even give you a few options and let you choose which one fits best. Will look into it!

Interesting project. I do find it sad that no one has been able to come in and replace Sunrise. Many attempts, all falling short. Woven looks like a good start but not for me, at least not at this point. Lack of O365 support (on the roadmap it seems), lack of support for multiple accounts (can that be right?), and "iOS only" (saddened as an owner of several of the 2.3 Billion active Android devices on Earth.) For these reasons, Woven is out for me.
@just_s Our goal is to support each one of those use cases, so please check back in a few months. And all of them will have the same key features, since our apps use a shared and unique backend. Stay tuned!

@bob_ryskamp great! I'll keep an eye on the project. Best of luck.

Not available for desktops! There are still MILLIONS of professionals out there who use desktop computers Millennials!
@johngil Sounds good. Woven.com/app should work well in Safari, definitely let us know at support@woven.com if it doesn't! Hoping to create a more native desktop app for Mac soon.

Guys from facebook asks to read my emails? Well, need to seriously think about it.

Only one calendar integration; using Google subscription to access additional subscriptions is not great.
Hi Morris, thanks for the comment. We're looking into how we can support multiple Google accounts right now; would that address your needs?

Bob, guys, looks ok, but tried to sign up and unfortunately
"Google account 'nelson wells @ teamclermont.com' appears to be incompatible with Woven and cannot be used to sign up or sign in." I've had this google account for 10+ years. What do you suggest? i have a gmail account that I got before gmail launched, but have never used it.
Hi @nelson_wells , unfortunately Woven will only sync with accounts that use either a Gmail or G Suite email address. Google will let you convert any address to a Gmail one, but that would likely break your setup.
You could probably share your main calendar with the other Gmail account (using Google Calendar sharing) and use Woven that way if you'd like to try. Let us know if that works!

@bob_ryskamp Thank you. I'm going to try your last suggestion. I will let you know. cheers. - @nelson_wells

I can, (while I don't agree), see why you would go with Google Calendar as a platform - but it's a non starter for me - never liked Google Calendar much and their lack of updates over the years hasn't helped my thinking [and the interface/how it integrates can be a nightmare in some configurations]... (and I can't say that there handling of our privacy has helped change my mind much).
Will be interesting to see how this product grows though - who knows maybe with some traction you will evolved beyond Google/Microsoft's platforms - here's to hoping anyways... as I do like the layer of features/convenience that you are trying to offer -- as of right now just seems like it's something that Google/Microsoft would do for themselves or simply buy your out [then again that might be your plan :)]...

@exlemor I think the idea is that they are trying to improve on top of the Google/Outlook calendar systems. Like it or not (i agree that Google cal sucks) these are the platforms that companies have "locked" us into. Most companies today either use Microsoft Exchange/Outlook or G-suite/Google as a platform for mail and calendars.
I have no involvement with this company, but I think the whole idea is to add features on top of these platforms that are missing. So they are trying to improve the very broken calendar space by building tools on top of already universally adopted platforms.

@_jacurtis I get that - but seeing as the underlying platform is getting outdated nor isn't getting much love from Google - I would have thought building a better platform [with these great enhancements] would have been a better option - unless like I mentioned they are trying to get bought out by one of the platform they are enhancing of course. :)
@_jacurtis@exlemor Pretty much all of our current customers already have a Google or Outlook calendar they need to use for work, so syncing is an important capability for us. If your events aren't there, it's hard to be a good calendar!
That said, the most interesting opportunities do lie in extending beyond what those systems can do. The iCalendar standard they're based on just turned 20 years old, and our goal is to build new capabilities for the modern workplace. Stay tuned for more things like that.
@omtnt We're still a small company, so we don't have the support and legal capabilities to cover international sales and support right now. Great to see all the interest though and we'll expand coverage as quickly as we can!
