Auto-create weekly focus blocks around existing meetings and guard them
Every Sunday an agent reads next week's confirmed meetings, carves protected deep-work blocks into the open gaps, sets your Slack status to defend them.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Doesn't just defend focus blocks — it creates them intelligently. Each week the agent inspects your already-booked meetings, finds the largest contiguous gaps, and places focus blocks where deep work actually fits rather than fighting your real schedule. It then primes the guard: a Slack status that signals do-not-disturb during those windows, and a posted plan in Microsoft Teams so your team knows when you're heads-down.
When to use it
Your week looks different every week and statically recurring focus blocks never survive contact with reality. Use this when you want focus time scheduled around the meetings you've genuinely committed to.
How it works
- 1A Sunday schedule trigger starts the run.
- 2The agent reads next week's confirmed events from Google Calendar.
- 3It reasons over the gaps to decide where and how long focus blocks should go, then creates those events on your calendar.
- 4It sets a focus Slack status covering each block window.
- 5It posts the week's focus plan to a Microsoft Teams channel so collaborators can plan around it.
