Weekly Review
Why Calvin asks, what your ratings turn into, and how to skip them when you don't feel like answering.
Every Friday at the hour you choose, Calvin sends a short message listing the substantive meetings on your calendar that week and asks you to rate each one from 1 to 4. The whole thing takes 60 seconds. Skipping is fine and never penalised.
Why bother
Most calendars accumulate meetings you never set up and never killed. They were useful at one point, or they fit somebody else's agenda, and now they sit in your week eating two hours every Tuesday. The hard part is noticing.
The Friday rating is the noticing. One number per meeting, while the meeting is still fresh.
What the ratings mean
- 1 — waste of time. You'd cancel it tomorrow.
- 2 — fine, nothing special. No regret, no spark.
- 3 — solid, worth the time. Something useful came out of it.
- 4 — game-changer, more of this. You'd protect this hour ahead of almost anything else.
What Calvin does with them
One rating on its own is noise. Calvin keeps them and watches for patterns. After 4 to 6 weeks of data, he can tell you which recurring meetings are quietly draining you and which are actually moving the business.
Ask him things like:
What's been low signal on my calendar lately?
Which weekly meeting is averaging the worst rating?
Should I keep the Tuesday standup?
He pulls the last six weeks of ratings, groups recurring meetings by name, averages them, and surfaces the bottom and top. The output looks something like:
Low signal (consider cutting):
• Tuesday standup: 1.8 / 4 average across 5 weeks
High signal (protect more time for):
• Friday strategy block: 3.8 / 4 average across 4 weeks
That's the actual deliverable. The rating is just the input.
Notes alongside the rating
If you want to leave a note about a specific meeting, type it after the number. Calvin parses these and attaches the note to the meeting record so it shows up alongside the rating in your audit history.
1=3 ran long, 2=4 great, 3=skip
The same reply also works for "anything else to file from this week." If you want to send a follow-up reminder ("ping Justin about the contract"), just send it; Calvin handles the request normally.
What gets reviewed and what gets skipped
Calvin only puts work meetings in the review prompt. An LLM classifier reads each event from your week and filters out:
- Personal events — anything not work related, like social occasions and appointments.
- Appointments — doctor, dentist, haircut, car service.
- Transit — flights, trains, drive blocks.
- Focus blocks — "do not schedule" placeholders, deep work time.
- Anything under 45 minutes, anything cancelled, anything you declined.
If Calvin still misclassifies something, just tell him in the next message. He keeps the correction in mind for future weeks.
Choosing the time, or turning it off
Open your settings. The "Weekly calendar audit" toggle disables it entirely. Below the toggle, "Weekly audit time" picks the hour Calvin sends the prompt — default is noon local. Range is 9 AM to 9 PM so it stays clear of quiet hours.
Skipping a week
Reply "skip" to the prompt. Calvin moves on. There's no quota, no streak, no nag.
