BrightMind now connects to Google Calendar. Once linked, it can see what's already on your schedule and add events for you — in chat and in voice calls alike. Ask it to block time for deep work, and it slots the task around the meetings you already have instead of on top of them.

It's in beta while Google finishes reviewing the app, so access is request-only for now: open Settings → Calendar to submit the email you want to connect, and we'll let you know in the app once it's live for you.

The app launches noticeably quicker from a cold start, and voice calls connect about three times faster — the silent gap between tapping call and BrightMind actually listening is down from a few seconds to roughly one.

You no longer have to wait for BrightMind to finish writing before you do anything. The input bar and its actions stay live while a response streams in, so you can line up your next message or attach a file mid-answer.
