Connections

#What a connection is

A source Veda can read beyond what's on your screen. Veda only reads; it never sends, changes or deletes anything. What it reads stays on your computer, and only what a brief, a question or a reply about finding a time needs goes to the AI.

Open Veda and click Connections in the sidebar.

#Calendars

• Apple Calendar (Mac) — press Connect and allow access in macOS's own prompt. No account needed. It includes any calendar you've added to the Calendar app, such as Google or Exchange.
• Google Calendar (Mac and Windows) — press Connect, sign in on Google's page in your browser, and allow Veda to see your calendars and events. The sign-in token is kept on your computer and used only to read meetings. Disconnect removes it and cancels Veda's access on Google's side too.

When you connect, Veda tells you how many meetings it found in the next week. If the same account shows up in both, each meeting appears once.

Your meetings feed:

• Meetings — your week, a countdown before each meeting and a card when it starts.
• Brief — today's meetings and anything worth a look, like a double booking.
• Ask Veda — "what's on tomorrow?", "when's my call with Priya?".
• Replies — when a message is about finding a time, Veda offers times you're free.

Veda also uses invites to learn the emails, full names and time zones of people it already remembers. A calendar never adds new people to memory.

#Coming next

Slack, Jira, Notion, and Gmail and Outlook, marked Soon on the page. Each will sign in on its own website and ask you what to share. Veda's server only helps finish the sign-in — it never keeps your keys or reads your data.

#While Veda is in testing with Google

Google hasn't reviewed Veda yet, so a Google Calendar sign-in lasts seven days. When it runs out, the Connections page says Reconnect; press it and sign in again.
