Recurring Event
A recurring event is a calendar event that automatically repeats at a defined interval — daily, weekly, monthly, or on a custom schedule — without requiring manual recreation for each occurrence.
Understanding Recurring Event
Recurring events form the stable rhythm of most professional schedules: weekly team standups, monthly board meetings, quarterly reviews, and daily standup calls. Calendar applications support various recurrence patterns: every weekday, every second Tuesday, the last Friday of each month. Managing recurring events effectively means understanding that a single change might affect only one occurrence or the entire series. Recurring events also define the meeting cadence that AI scheduling tools must respect when finding open slots.
How GAIA Uses Recurring Event
GAIA manages recurring events as part of its calendar intelligence, distinguishing between single-occurrence modifications and series changes. When scheduling new meetings, GAIA accounts for recurring events as fixed commitments. It can also identify recurring meeting patterns in your calendar and suggest optimization — for example, consolidating recurring check-ins that could be replaced with async updates.

Asynchronous Meeting
An asynchronous meeting is a structured exchange of information, decisions, or updates that occurs without all participants being present simultaneously, using recorded video, written documents, or threaded discussions instead of real-time calls.
