Take the pain out of

arranging m

Do you seem to spend lots of time trying to

set up meetings with colleagues or friends?

Kono.ai: A.I.Mobile Scheduler aims to

automate the meeting-scheduling process by

syncing with any calendar apps installed on

your device and learning your personal

preferences. When you come to plan a

meeting, the app will recommend a suitable

time and location then check this against the

schedule of all attendees.

When it’s time to send invites, Kono syncs

with your contacts list so it can notify

attendees v ia email or SMS text message. On

the day of the meeting Kono will adv ise you

when to set off based on the traffi c

conditions, prov ide a suggested route and

may even advise you on nearby locations

worth v isiting after your meeting.

You can download Kono.ai: A.I.Mobile

Scheduler from the Google Play store.

Automatically schedule your

meetings using the free Kono.ai

mobile scheduler app
