✅ What is Calendar Insights?
Calendar Insights refer to the analysis and summary of your calendar data (such as meetings, events, and tasks) to give you useful information about how you spend your time, what your priorities are, and how to optimize your schedule.
Instead of just showing a list of events, Calendar Insights help you understand patterns, improve time management, and boost productivity.
