Calendar-defending AI
Reclaim is the AI calendar-management tool that protects time blocks for habits and reschedules meetings dynamically. Free for limited use; Starter at $8/user/month annual; Business at $12/user/month adds team analytics. Best for solo knowledge workers and small teams; less essential if you only do 1:1 guest calls.
Reclaim.ai is the AI scheduling layer that sits on top of Google Calendar and dynamically protects time for habits (recurring time blocks for exercise, deep work, lunch), smart meetings, and tasks that need to land in your week. The 2026 plan ladder is Free (3 smart meetings, basic habit protection, one task tool integration), Starter at $8/user/month annual (unlimited smart meetings and habits, multiple task integrations), and Business at $12/user/month annual (team analytics, priority support, admin controls). All users get a 14-day free trial of Business. The launch promo of note: Attendee Users (AUs), people attending Smart Meetings with 3+ people but who don't have paid Reclaim seats, are 100% free through July 31, which materially lowers the cost of using Reclaim for group meetings. For podcasts, Reclaim is genuinely useful when you're running a content schedule that involves recurring obligations: writing time, editing blocks, recording sessions, plus the inevitable guest pre-calls and producer syncs. The 'habits' feature ensures your editing time doesn't get steamrollered by other people's meeting invites, which is the unglamorous reality of solo creator productivity. For pure guest scheduling, where you only need a one-off booking link, Calendly or Vimcal are simpler and probably better-fit. Where Reclaim earns its $8/month is when calendar protection is a real problem, when your habits, focus blocks, and tasks need to negotiate with each other and with external meeting invites continuously.
