Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Daychat, the AI calendar assistant for Google Calendar.
What is Daychat?
Daychat is an AI-powered calendar assistant for iPhone that connects to your Google Calendar. Instead of tapping through menus, you manage your schedule through natural conversation — create events, check availability, get smart reminders, and more.
How does Daychat work with Google Calendar?
Daychat connects securely to your Google Calendar through Google's official OAuth2 authentication. Once connected, you can create, modify, and delete events by chatting naturally. Events created through Daychat appear on your Google Calendar immediately, and changes you make in Google Calendar sync back to Daychat.
Is Daychat free?
Yes, Daychat has a free tier that includes 30 messages per month, core calendar management, and basic notifications. For more features:
- Daychat Plus — 300 messages/month, voice scheduling, avatar customization
- Daychat Pro — 1000 messages/month, weather forecasts, air quality alerts, pollen alerts
What can I ask Daychat to do?
Almost anything related to your calendar:
- Create events — "Schedule a meeting tomorrow at 2pm"
- Check your schedule — "What do I have this week?"
- Modify events — "Move my dentist appointment to Thursday"
- Add guests — "Invite Sarah to the team lunch"
- Timezone queries — "What time is it in Tokyo?"
- Find free time — "When am I free on Friday?"
Does Daychat read my emails?
No. Daychat only accesses email metadata — sender name, subject line, and date. It never reads the content of your emails. This metadata is used solely to send you notifications about important emails like delivery updates, appointment confirmations, and travel bookings.
What languages does Daychat support?
Daychat supports 10+ languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese (Traditional), Korean, Malay, Portuguese, Thai, and Vietnamese. The AI assistant responds in your chosen language, and all notifications are localized.
Is my data safe with Daychat?
Yes. Daychat uses Google's official OAuth2 for authentication and follows Google's API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements. Calendar data is processed securely through Firebase Cloud Functions. Daychat never shares your data with third parties.
What devices does Daychat work on?
Daychat is available on iPhone (iOS 17+), iPad, and Mac. Your messages and settings sync across all your Apple devices automatically.
What are smart notifications?
Smart notifications are context-aware reminders that adapt their timing based on the type of event:
- Flights — evening before + 3 hours before departure
- Meetings & calls — 30 minutes before
- Restaurants — 1 hour before
- Entertainment — 2 hours before
- Medical appointments — 1 hour before
The AI also generates personalized, friendly messages instead of generic reminders.
Can I use voice to create events?
Yes, with Daychat Plus or Pro. Tap the microphone button, speak naturally ("Lunch with Sarah on Friday at noon at the Italian place"), and Daychat transcribes your voice and creates the event with all the details parsed automatically.
What weather features does Daychat offer?
Daychat Pro includes weather alerts for rain, snow, extreme heat, extreme cold, and high winds — delivered about an hour before the weather event. It also provides air quality alerts and pollen alerts for allergy sufferers, plus a 7-day weather forecast accessible through chat.
How do weekend activity suggestions work?
Every Saturday at 11 AM, if your weekend looks free, Daychat sends you 3 local activity suggestions based on your interests and location. These are real events and activities happening near you, found using AI with real-time search — not generic recommendations.
How is Daychat different from Siri?
Unlike Siri, Daychat is a conversational assistant specifically designed for calendar management. It understands follow-up context ("actually, make it 3pm instead"), sends proactive smart notifications with timing based on event type, provides weather and environmental alerts, and suggests weekend activities. It's a dedicated calendar companion, not a general voice assistant.
Does Daychat work with Outlook or Apple Calendar?
Currently, Daychat works exclusively with Google Calendar. If you use Outlook or Apple Calendar, you can sync those calendars to Google Calendar, and Daychat will be able to see and manage those events.
Can I use Daychat for work?
Absolutely. Daychat works with any Google Calendar, including Google Workspace accounts. It handles meeting scheduling, attendee management, conflict detection, and provides smart reminders tailored to professional event types like meetings, calls, and appointments.
Does Daychat have birthday reminders?
Yes. Daychat can access your contacts' birthdays and sends personalized birthday reminders at 11 AM on the day. It even generates unique, friendly messages for each birthday so you never forget to wish someone well.
