The Typing Problem

Writing meeting agendas takes longer than the meeting

You know what the meeting is about. You could explain it in 30 seconds. But typing out a proper agenda with discussion points, goals, and context takes 10 minutes you don't have between calls. So you send a bare invite with just a title. Attendees show up unprepared, the meeting runs long, and you schedule another follow-up.

Quick events turn into typing exercises

You need to block time for 'prepare quarterly review deck' with notes about what to include. Simple enough to say out loud. But opening Calendar, clicking create, typing the title, adding description, setting time — suddenly your quick reminder became a 2-minute detour. You start skipping the descriptions entirely.

Coordinating with guests requires context they never get

You're inviting five people to a planning session. Each person needs different context: what to prepare, what decisions you're making, who's presenting what. Typing all of this out is tedious. So you send a vague invite and spend the first 15 minutes of every meeting explaining what everyone should have known beforehand.

Location and logistics get lost in minimal descriptions

The event needs parking instructions, conference room details, video call backup link, or notes about what building entrance to use. You know all this information, but typing it out feels like unnecessary work. Guests arrive confused, calling you for directions while you're already in the meeting.

Your calendar is full of cryptic event titles

Looking back at last month, you see 'Sync' 'Check in' 'Follow up' 'Review' with no descriptions. You have no idea what those meetings were about. Your calendar is supposed to be a record of your time, but it's become a list of meaningless words that tell you nothing about what actually happened.

How It Works

Blurt works in any text field in Google Calendar — event titles, descriptions, notes, or location fields. Just hold, speak, release.

1

Hold your hotkey

Click into any Google Calendar text field. Press your chosen hotkey to start.

2

Speak your event details

Say your agenda, description, or notes naturally. Blurt handles punctuation automatically.

3

Release and done

Text appears in the field. Save your event. Your detailed calendar entry is complete.

Real Scenarios

Adding context to recurring one-on-ones

Your weekly one-on-one needs talking points. Rather than typing, speak them naturally: 'Topics for this week: career development conversation follow-up, feedback on the API redesign proposal, discuss potential conference speaking opportunity.' Your direct report knows what to expect, and you have a record of what you planned to cover.

Scheduling with detailed location instructions

Client meeting at an office they've never visited. Hold and speak: 'Enter through the main lobby on Market Street. Check in with security and they will issue a visitor badge. Take elevator to floor 12 and ask for the Redwood conference room. Parking available in the garage on 3rd Street, validation at reception.' Guests arrive without confusion.

Quick event creation with full details

You need to block time to prepare a presentation. Instead of a bare 'Prep slides' title, speak: 'Prepare investor deck for Series B meeting. Include updated metrics from Q3, revised projections for next year, and team growth slides. Pull latest numbers from finance by Tuesday.' Your future self knows exactly what past-you intended.

Coordinating team events with specific instructions

Planning an offsite for your team. Speak the details once: 'Team offsite at Coastal Retreat Center. Arrive by 9am, lunch provided. Bring laptop for afternoon working session. Dress casual. Carpool spreadsheet linked in team channel. Let me know dietary restrictions by Friday.' Everyone has the same information without you answering 12 separate questions.

Adding meeting notes before you forget

The meeting just ended and you want to capture next steps. Edit the calendar event and speak: 'Outcomes: Agreed to delay launch by two weeks. Sarah owns the revised timeline. Marketing to prepare updated messaging. Follow-up scheduled for next Thursday.' Your calendar becomes a searchable record of decisions, not just time blocks.

Scheduling for someone else with full context

You're an EA scheduling for your executive. Rather than typing each event detail, speak: 'Board meeting prep with CFO. Review draft financials and talking points for next week's board meeting. CFO to bring latest forecast. Exec to review strategic priorities section.' The event communicates everything both attendees need to know.
