What does Google Calendar do?
Google Calendar is a Claude connector that lets Claude see and change your schedule. It lists your calendars, searches and reads events, and checks when you are free. A suggest_time tool looks for slots that suit several people. Claude can also create, update and delete events and answer invitations for you. Typical jobs are reviewing what is coming up this week, setting a meeting across busy diaries and reading an attendee list before a call.
