Speak it, talk about one, plan tomorrow
You can talk to the calendar in four ways: say one commitment — anything on your calendar, an event or a thing to do — and let the sky fill in the form; speak several at once with no AI; talk with ask the sky — the calendar's AI assistant — about one commitment; and plan tomorrow together.
Say one commitment and let the sky fill it in
- Tap ✛ "add" to open a new commitment.
- Tap the 🎙 in the title field, "what happens?".
- Say the whole thing, for example "dentist next tuesday at three". While it reads, the field shows "the sky is filling it in…".
- Check the form, then tap "place it". Nothing is placed until you do.
With the AI, the sky fills the title, the date, time and length, whether it happens once, repeats or comes back every year, how often it repeats, the place and notes. A form the AI filled shows "✦ filled by the sky — ai-generated · verify what matters", with a ⚑ to report it.
Without the AI, the phone's own reading fills the title, date and time only, with no network. That happens when "zenith ai in this app" or the suite's AI switch is off, when no service is ready, or when you have not said yes to sending. It also happens if safety screening blocks the words or the draft.
The same reading works on words you drop from the Shuttle — the suite's shared tray for passing text and files between Zenith apps — onto the sky, the whole calendar screen, and on text you select or share with "☄ make it a commitment".
Speak several commitments, with no AI
- Tap the "voice" mic at the bottom left. You can also use the mic on an almanac's page — an almanac is one of your calendars, a named, coloured layer of commitments — the "speak commitments" shortcut, or "🎙 speak" on the larger widget.
- The phone's own speech screen opens. Say your commitments, joined by words like "and then", "also" or "next up".
- Each piece with a date becomes a one-off commitment. It lands in the almanac whose mic you tapped, or else your default almanac.
The phone reads dates like "today", "tonight", "tomorrow", a weekday, "next friday", "june 3" or "on the 12th", and times like "at 3", "at 3:30 pm", "at noon". What is left becomes the title.
A piece with no date, or one a locked almanac refuses, goes to the Shuttle instead, so nothing is lost. At the end you see how many were placed and how many went to the Shuttle. No microphone permission is asked; the phone's own speech screen does the listening.
Talk about one commitment
- Open a commitment's page.
- Tap "AI" at the top right. The sheet opens as "talk · ‹title›".
- Ask about it. Each ask carries the commitment's title, day, time, place and the start of its notes, and the sky keeps to that topic.
A talk is never remembered, even with chat memory on. Safety, actions and spoken replies work as usual.
Plan tomorrow with the sky
- Tap ◐ "tomorrow" at the top right, the widget's "◐ tomorrow", or the "tomorrow plan" shortcut.
- Tap "✦ plan it with the sky". It shows only while "zenith ai in this app" is on.
- The request is asked at once. It names tomorrow and what is on it.
- The sky checks open tasks from Zenith Tasks, if it can reach them, and suggests which could go tomorrow. It proposes a gentle plan and asks what to confirm.
- Agree, and it places what you chose.
If no service is ready, the request waits in the field instead.
Hear replies read aloud
Replies are spoken aloud by default, in the voice of whoever is answering.
- Tap 🔊 beside the sheet's title to mute. It turns to 🔇, and a reply stops mid-sentence.
- Tap again to turn speech back on. The choice is kept.
The same switch is "the tulpa speaks its replies" in Settings › the calendar's voice. Speech uses the phone's own text-to-speech, and stops when the sheet closes or you leave the app.
