Google Calendar Integration and Automatic Recording

I'd like Vowen to connect to Google Calendar so that when a scheduled meeting starts, Vowen starts recording it.

At the moment every recording depends on me remembering to open the app and press start. If I forget, the meeting is gone. There's no going back for it afterwards.

This is the main thing I'm missing from Granola. The meeting sits in my calendar, Granola knows it's happening, and the recording starts with the meeting. I don't have to think about it.

What I'm asking for:

  • Read-only access to Google Calendar

  • Vowen recognises that a scheduled meeting is starting

  • It begins recording, either automatically or with a one-click prompt if you'd rather not start unattended

  • The note is titled from the calendar event, so I can find it later

Most of this already exists. There's meeting detection that triggers when an app starts using the microphone, and it can prompt to take notes. What it can't do is know that a meeting was scheduled, when it was due to start, or what it's called. The calendar connection looks like the missing piece rather than a rebuild.

Read-only would be enough. I don't need Vowen writing to my calendar, joining calls or contacting attendees.

I'm assessing Granola and Vowen side by side, specifically on meeting note capture and summarisation of transcripts. This is the main gap.

    Hey @Ian , we’ve released v0.5.7 which adds support for Google Calendar integration. It should recognize when a meeting is about to start and notify you with a prompt to start taking notes, as well as a link for the meeting itself.

      Perfect, a great addition. Of course you know I’m going to say it would be great if Vowen started taking notes at the start of the meeting automatically :) One for the next update?

      Regards
