2. • Product and Engineer by trade but most recently was
running Business Development
• BizDev teaches you to value time!
• I was late to meetings; I was dialing-in while in the car; I
was fumbling for emails
• Created Tempo, a search box into your life (initial vision)
• It wasn’t a daily use case -> but had an “aha”
• The calendar was a great place to put this “anticipatory”
search
• Created Tempo Smart Calendar!
My Story
3. Calendar Hasn’t Been Disrupted
iPhone
Android
Paper calendar on a phone Tempo is smart and beautiful
4. Data Is Increasingly Silo’ed
Calendar offers a perfect framework to connect the dots
5. AI Is the New Smartphone Layer
No context Search context REAL context
Tempo knows YOU: your needs, your asks, your wants
6. Calendar Is the Most Actionable

12. • Web 1.0 = <blink> tag
• Web 2.0 = Participatory web (read-write web)
• Web 3.0 = Anticipatory web (understanding of things)
Assistant is the new layer and personalization is the new defensibility
Why Is This Important?
Editor's Notes
Notes 2
Different kind of assistants – tempo has context that google now doesn’t have which is search context
