Shownotes

Tim Campos, the current CEO of intelligent-calendaring company Woven, has some big ideas about how to shake up the online calendar and bring it into the modern age. In this inaugural episode of Powered by Battery, Campos—the former CIO of Facebook—discusses how his experience at Facebook informed his decision to start Woven, one of many companies (like Slack and Airtable) trying to optimize specific elements of larger office-productivity suites. Current online-calendaring systems need a reboot because they are too dependent on email and aren’t “smart”, meaning they can’t learn from a users’ past meetings and other work habits, he argues. In this interview, Campos breaks down how artificial intelligence can make calendars better—but also talks about Facebook’s culture, the future of work and even some great office-themed movies from the 1980s, such as “Nine to Five” and “Working Girl”.
