What is Ask TimePilot?
TimePilot is a focused AI assistant that lives inside DateAndTimePro. It is not a general-purpose chatbot — its job is to help with scheduling, time-zone coordination, deadlines, and weekly planning. It reads the workflow context you've already built in the app (your saved timezone groups and the tools you used recently) and proposes the next step.
Calm by design
Concise, practical responses. No hype, no emojis unless you use them first.
Workflow-aware
Anchored to your saved groups and recently used tools, so it speaks in the context you already have.
Private by default
Your chat stays in your browser. No account needed, no history on a server.
How to open TimePilot
- 1Look at the bottom-right corner of any page. You'll see a floating Ask TimePilot button.
- 2Click the button. A panel opens with calm suggestions tailored to what you've been doing on the site.
- 3Type a question or click a suggestion. TimePilot streams an answer in Markdown — tables, lists, and short paragraphs.
The assistant is available on every page. You don't need to sign in or create an account to use it.
What TimePilot can help with
TimePilot is built around six core scheduling tasks. It works best when you give it concrete cities, dates, or goals.
Find meeting times across time zones
Suggest 2–3 candidate slots with local times for each participant, preferring 08:00–18:00 local for everyone when possible.
Plan weekly routines and recurring coordination
Design focused weekly calendars that mix deep-work blocks, batching windows, and 2–3 fixed meetings without burning out your team.
Calculate deadlines and project timelines
Show start date, working days or weeks, the resulting date, and weekend/holiday assumptions — perfect for launch planning and invoicing.
Optimize productivity calendars
Tune a calendar for deep-work blocks, batching, buffers between meetings, and async windows for distributed teammates.
Draft reminders, agendas, and follow-ups
Write polite invoice reminders, structured agendas for upcoming meetings, or short follow-ups you can paste into email or chat.
Point you to the right tool
When a question is better answered by a specific DateAndTimePro tool, TimePilot tells you the tool's name and what to use it for.
What TimePilot won't do
Knowing the boundaries helps you get faster, more useful answers.
- Act as a general-purpose chatbot — off-topic requests are politely redirected back to scheduling and time workflows.
- Invent cities, saved groups, or tools that aren't in your workflow context — only what's actually saved or recently used.
- Make commitments or send messages on your behalf — TimePilot drafts and suggests; you decide.
- Replace a real calendar or human judgment — always verify dates and times before committing.
- Store your chat on a server — conversations live in your browser only.
Writing prompts that get great answers
A good prompt names the cities, the timeframe, and the shape of the answer you want. Here are five that work well.
Multi-city meeting
Why it works: Clear cities, duration, and timeframe. TimePilot returns a table with each city's local time and day.
Project deadline
Why it works: States the working-day count and the goal. TimePilot shows start date, working days, target date, and any weekend assumptions.
Weekly cadence
Why it works: Names the constraints: deep work, fixed meeting count. TimePilot returns a Monday–Friday schedule you can adapt.
Polite reminder
Why it works: Names the tone (polite), the artifact (reminder), and the timing (5 days). TimePilot writes copy you can paste.
Resume a workflow
Why it works: Triggers continuity. TimePilot looks at your saved groups and recent tools and proposes a concrete next step.
Workflow awareness
When you open TimePilot, it quietly reads two things from your browser: your saved timezone groups (in the World Clock) and the tools you've used recently. It uses that context to anchor its answers — so suggestions pick up where you left off instead of starting over.
Saved timezone groups
TimePilot references groups by name (e.g. "Core Team", "Asia Squad") and proposes overlap windows for them.
Recently used tools
If you just used the Meeting Planner, TimePilot leans toward cadences and recurring meetings. If you used Project Deadline, it leans toward milestones and breakdowns.
Resume my scheduling workflow
This is the most useful phrase in TimePilot. It tells the assistant to look at your saved groups and recent tools and propose a concrete next step — instead of a generic recommendation.
