The backstory
Reclaim.ai automatically schedules tasks, habits and meetings into open slots on your calendar, defending focus time as things shift. That smart-scheduling behavior is exactly what calendar makers are starting to build in natively. It's wounded because the core trick is creeping into Google and Outlook calendars themselves, though Reclaim's task-priority logic, habit scheduling and team availability features still go further than the built-in versions for people who live by their calendar.
