Atomic

What Atomic is

Atomic is an open-source, priority-driven AI scheduler for calendar and time-management problems. Users can work with a calendar through ChatGPT to teach Atomic about events, find or block time, and create, schedule or update events. Semantic search matches phrases against trained past events and can reuse details such as duration, color, time preferences, priority and tags. An AI classification model can apply tags, each with settings for matching events.

Atomic supports recurring one-to-one meetings and ad hoc team meetings that account for attendees’ calendars and time preferences, including people who do not use Atomic. Its planner can run automatically before the workday and apply patterns learned from event templates. For tasks, users can set priority-based calendar blocks with daily or weekly deadlines and choose soft or hard deadlines. Semantic event templates require training Atomic on existing events first. A self-hosted Docker Compose setup is available, and the project describes self-hosting as privacy-enabled by default and customizable. The meeting-assist diagram shows Google Calendar receiving a selected meeting slot and event. A customized team deployment on your cloud is offered at $15.00 per month, with one year of support included.

Who it suits

Atomic suits people who want priority-based scheduling, time blocking and calendar assistance they can self-host. Teams may find its recurring and ad hoc meeting scheduling useful, including when some attendees do not use Atomic.
