Free Plan

Reclaim offers a free forever plan with core AI scheduling and calendar automation features. Google Gemini for work does not offer a free plan.

AI agents

Reclaim gives every user an AI agent that can understand priorities, analyze schedules, recommend changes, preview outcomes, and take action directly on the calendar. Google Gemini provides AI assistance across Google Workspace, but does not offer calendar-native AI agents that proactively optimize schedules, focus time, and meeting workloads.

AI chat

Reclaim includes a conversational AI assistant that helps users understand schedules, identify conflicts, analyze workloads, and optimize their time through natural language. Recommendations are presented with clear previews and remain human-in-the-loop, allowing users to review and approve scheduling actions before changes are made. Google Gemini provides a conversational AI experience across Google Workspace, but is not specifically designed to continuously optimize schedules, focus time, and calendar priorities.

ChatGPT integration

Reclaim integrates with ChatGPT, allowing users to access scheduling context, availability, and time management workflows directly through conversational AI. Google Gemini is Google's own AI platform and does not provide a native ChatGPT integration for scheduling and calendar optimization workflows.

Claude & Claude Cowork MCP

Reclaim integrates with Claude through MCP, allowing users to securely access scheduling context, availability, and calendar workflows directly from Claude. Google Gemini is part of Google's AI ecosystem and does not provide a native Claude MCP integration for scheduling and calendar optimization workflows.

AI tasks

Reclaim syncs tasks from Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Todoist, Linear, Google Tasks, and other project management and task management tools, then automatically schedules time on the calendar to ensure work gets done. As priorities, deadlines, and schedules change, Reclaim continuously rebalances those time blocks so plans stay realistic and high-priority work stays protected. Google Gemini does not automatically schedule and continuously optimize calendar time for work execution.

Task recommendations

Reclaim's AI assistant can recommend what work to tackle next based on priorities, deadlines, available calendar capacity, and upcoming commitments. By connecting tasks from Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Todoist, Linear, Google Tasks, and other project management and task management tools, Reclaim helps employees make better decisions about where to focus their time. Google Gemini can provide general productivity recommendations, but does not natively recommend work across connected task systems using calendar capacity and scheduling intelligence.

Meeting agenda & follow-up email creation

Reclaim's AI assistant can generate meeting agendas and follow-up emails using calendar context, meeting details, connected tasks, project management tools, and meeting transcripts. By incorporating context from Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Linear, Todoist, and prior meeting discussions, Reclaim helps teams prepare faster and keep action items aligned with ongoing work. Google Gemini can help draft meeting agendas and follow-up communications across Google Workspace, but is not purpose-built around calendar-native scheduling intelligence and meeting optimization

Pre-meeting buffer time

Reclaim automatically protects time before meetings so employees can prepare, review materials, gather context, and arrive ready to contribute. buffer time continuously adapts as schedules change, helping teams reduce context switching and improve meeting effectiveness without manual calendar management. Google Gemini can help users prepare for meetings with AI assistance, but does not automatically protect preparation time on calendars.

Post-meeting buffer time

Reclaim automatically protects time after meetings so employees can capture action items, update tasks, process decisions, and prepare for what's next. buffer time continuously adapts as schedules change, helping teams reduce context switching and turn meetings into productive outcomes instead of unfinished work. Google Gemini can help summarize meetings and identify action items, but does not automatically protect follow-up time on calendars.

Flexible time blocking

Reclaim keeps schedules flexible with smart free/busy controls that maximize availability while still defending time for high-priority work, helping users stay adaptable without losing focus capacity. Gemini does not manage flexible time blocking as an always-on scheduling system.

AI Focus Time

Reclaim proactively protects Focus Time across the workweek, continuously defending deep work around meetings, deadlines, and shifting priorities so productive time does not disappear as the schedule fills up. Gemini can help with calendar actions when prompted, but it is not an always-on system that automatically protects Focus Time or resolves conflicts for you.

AI rescheduling & conflict resolution

Reclaim continuously rebalances tasks, Focus Time, habits, and meetings when conflicts appear, keeping calendars realistic and reducing the manual cleanup that usually happens after every scheduling change. Gemini can create and update calendar events when prompted, but it is not a calendar-native system that automatically repairs scheduling conflicts across the week.

AI-powered recurring events (Habits)

Reclaim lets users create AI-powered recurring habits that automatically find the best time based on flexible scheduling windows, priorities, and availability—then keep adapting as the calendar changes. Gemini can create recurring events when prompted, but only as fixed calendar events that don’t flex to maximize availability or automatically reschedule around conflicts.

AI-powered recurring meetings (Smart Meetings)

Reclaim’s AI-powered rescheduling makes conflict resolution effortless, by automatically detecting and alerting you to conflicts, and offering the best alternative time based on all attendees scheduling preferences, focus time, meeting policies, and calendar constraints. Smart Meetings continuously adapt as schedules change, eliminating the manual work of coordinating recurring meetings and resolving conflicts. Google Gemini can assist with scheduling-related tasks, but does not automatically reschedule meetings across attendees and calendar constraints.

Meeting limits & no-meeting days

Reclaim helps teams preserve large blocks of uninterrupted work by enforcing meeting limits, defending no-meeting days, and turning meeting norms into repeatable calendar behavior instead of individual preference. Gemini can adjust calendar events when asked, but it does not enforce meeting limits or no-meeting-day policies across calendars at a policy level.

Buffer time, breaks, & travel time automation

Reclaim automatically schedules breaks, travel buffers, and prep time around meetings so calendars reflect the real time people need to transition, recover, and stay effective throughout the day. Gemini can create or adjust calendar events when asked, but it does not continuously protect buffers, breaks, or travel time as an always-on calendar optimization system.

Custom scheduling hours

Reclaim lets users define category-specific scheduling rules for meetings, tasks, habits, and personal time so the calendar stays aligned with how they actually want their week to run. Gemini can help with calendar actions, but it is not built around configurable calendar logic or scheduling boundaries.

Priority-based scheduling

Reclaim continuously uses calendar priorities to decide what should be protected, moved, or sacrificed first—so the most important work keeps its place even as the week becomes more constrained. Gemini can help with tasks and calendar events, but it does not operate as a priority-aware calendar control system.

Multi-calendar syncing (Google Calendar & Outlook Calendar)

Reclaim syncs multiple Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar accounts in real time, coordinating availability automatically across work and personal schedules while keeping scheduling logic unified in one system. Gemini can work with Google Calendar, but it does not natively support Outlook Calendar or continuously sync and optimize multiple calendars as an always-on scheduling system.

Calendar sync privacy controls

Reclaim provides advanced sync privacy controls so users can keep availability accurate across calendars while choosing how much event detail is shown, hidden, or obfuscated. Gemini does not offer a calendar sync product with rule-based privacy controls.

Scheduling links

Reclaim’s AI-powered scheduling links use live calendar logic to surface more viable meeting times by understanding what can flex automatically—helping important meetings get booked sooner without creating more calendar chaos. Gemini is not a scheduling-link platform and does not generate intelligent booking flows from live calendar rules.

Team OOO Calendar

Reclaim automatically tracks and shares Out-of-Office time across teams in a shared calendar, then proactively adjusts meetings and tasks around availability so work stays on track without manual coordination. Gemini does not provide a shared team OOO calendar or automatically adjust meetings and tasks around Out-of-Office time.

Workforce analytics

Reclaim provides workforce dashboards that show how time is actually being spent across meetings, focus work, fragmentation, and capacity—giving leaders a way to measure time as an operational system instead of treating scheduling as an invisible problem. Gemini does not offer built-in workforce analytics for meeting load, focus capacity, or calendar fragmentation.

Enterprise policy automation

Reclaim lets organizations define and apply time-based policies across teams, turning initiatives around focus time, meeting norms, fragmentation, and scheduling behavior into automated calendar outcomes at scale. Gemini does not provide a system for applying scheduling policies across teams and calendars at scale.

Slack status sync integration

Reclaim integrates with Slack to automatically sync status with your calendar, reducing interruptions during meetings and Focus Time while extending scheduling context into team communication. Gemini does not automatically sync Slack status with your calendar in real time.

Google Meet integration

Reclaim automatically generates and maintains Google Meet links as meetings are scheduled and updated, keeping meeting details aligned as calendars change. Gemini can create and update Google Calendar events in Google Workspace, but it does not automatically generate and maintain Google Meet links as schedules change.

Zoom integration

Reclaim automatically adds and manages Zoom meeting links as part of the scheduling workflow, helping teams keep meeting logistics accurate as events move. Gemini does not offer a native Zoom scheduling integration.

Raycast integration

Reclaim integrates with Raycast so users can create tasks and access scheduling actions from the command palette, reducing friction and speeding up time management workflows. Gemini does not offer a Raycast integration.

Google Tasks integration

Reclaim syncs Google Tasks and schedules that work directly into the calendar based on priority, deadlines, and availability—so task lists reflect real capacity instead of sitting outside the calendar. Gemini can work with Google Tasks, but it does not automatically schedule them into calendar time.

Todoist integration

Reclaim syncs Todoist tasks and automatically turns them into focused calendar time, keeping execution aligned with changing priorities and availability. Gemini does not offer a Todoist integration.

Asana integration

Reclaim syncs Asana tasks and schedules work directly into the calendar based on deadlines, priority, and real availability—connecting project plans to actual capacity. Gemini does not offer an Asana scheduling integration.

ClickUp integration

Reclaim syncs ClickUp tasks into the calendar and automatically reserves time to complete them, helping teams keep delivery plans grounded in available time. Gemini does not offer a ClickUp scheduling integration.

Jira integration

Reclaim syncs Jira issues and schedules engineering work into the calendar as priorities and timelines evolve, helping teams connect sprint execution to real capacity. Gemini does not offer a Jira scheduling integration.

Linear integration

Reclaim syncs Linear issues and automatically blocks time for them alongside meetings, Focus Time, and other commitments, helping engineering calendars stay realistic as plans change. Gemini does not offer a Linear scheduling integration.
