What is the Google Calendar Lookup tool?

A read-only tool that lets AI check your events and events shared by friends through a Google Calendar connection authorized with Google OAuth.

You can ask about events on a date or during a period, appointments matching a keyword, and open time slots. In a chat with Friend AIs, it can compare calendars that participants have chosen to share and find a time when everyone is available.

Connect your calendar before using it

  1. Open VORA settings and turn on “Connect Google Calendar to my AI.”
  2. Choose the Google account to connect and approve calendar read access on the Google OAuth consent screen.
  3. After the connection is complete, ask for a date, period, event name, or desired free time in natural language.

What can it check?

  • Your events on a specific date or during a period such as today, tomorrow, or this week
  • Appointments containing a meeting name, person, location, or other keyword
  • Gaps between events or a continuous open slot of a requested length
  • Events shared by friends participating in the current chat
  • A common time when you and participating friends are all available

How to use it

No special command is required. When you ask about your schedule or a time that works for friends, the AI uses this tool when appropriate.

[Whose calendar] + [Date or period] + [Event or free time to find] + [Hours, time zone, and duration]

  • My schedule: “List my appointments tomorrow afternoon in time order.”
  • Date range: “Find only my meetings from next Monday through Wednesday.”
  • Keyword: “Find events containing ‘product launch’ this month.”
  • Free time: “Find a 90-minute opening on Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM.”
  • Coordinate with a friend: “Find a one-hour time next week that works for Mina and me in this chat.”

How sharing works with Friend AIs

Calendar being checkedRequired conditions
You check your own scheduleYour Google Calendar connection for your AI must be on.
You check a friend’s scheduleThat Friend AI must be in the current chat, and the friend must enable both calendar connection and “Share my schedule in friend chats.”
A Friend AI checks your scheduleYour calendar connection and friend-chat sharing must be on, and a schedule-related request must occur in a chat where that Friend AI participates.

Scope and cautions

  • You can use the tool up to 300 times per month. After reaching the limit, wait until usage becomes available in the next monthly period.
  • Results reflect the calendar at lookup time. Check again after an event changes.
  • A friend’s schedule is shown only within that friend’s sharing settings and current chat participation.
  • If your calendar contains sensitive events, review the sharing scope before enabling friend-chat sharing.

Troubleshooting

My events do not appear

Check the connection status, connected Google account, requested period, and time zone. If access was revoked in Google, complete OAuth authorization again.

A friend’s events do not appear

Confirm that the Friend AI is in the current chat, the friend connected Google Calendar, and the friend enabled schedule sharing. All three conditions are required.

The suggested free time is not what I expected

Retry with the date range, allowed hours, required duration, and reference time zone in the same request.

Practical request checklist

For Google Calendar Lookup, state the people, date range, event to find, and required duration together. Confirming sharing conditions first reduces follow-up questions.

  • Say whether you mean your calendar or which friend in the current chat.
  • Provide absolute dates, allowed hours, the reference time zone, and required duration.
  • Clarify whether you want a keyword or period lookup, or a common open slot for several people.

Review, save, and reuse the result

A Google Calendar Lookup result is a snapshot of the schedule at request time. Check the following before using it for coordination or a follow-up task.

  • Confirm that the date, time, time zone, and calendar owner match your request.
  • When friend events are included, verify that current participants and the sharing scope are intentional.
  • Before confirming, check the original Google Calendar for recent changes and conflicts.
