Fixed by FridaySee who's away before a deadline.
Drop in a client job's schedule and see who on your team is off near its key dates.
Before, someone laid the time-off calendar next to each client's deadlines and checked every date by hand.
Now, you drop in the schedule. A grid shows who is away around each key date, with a short heads-up at the top.

In the real tool you drop in a client's schedule. It's read, then forgotten. Here, three are ready to try.

It warns you when someone is away in the run-up to a deadline, not just on the day.
How it keeps the cost down
Where AI helps
Reading the messy schedule you drop in, whether it's a Word file, a PDF or pasted text, and pulling out the dates. Then writing the short heads-up at the top.
Where it doesn't
Checking who is away when, and spotting the key dates and the days before them. That's plain checking, no AI.
What it replaces
Checking two calendars side by side by hand. It could also stand in for a time-off add-on or the planning part of a project app.
The cost
AI reads each schedule once, and a cheaper AI writes the heads-up. The clash check itself uses no AI at all.
