Here are this week’s key improvements 💁‍♂

• Syncing list colors with calendar colors
• Adjusting lane widths
• Slack and Gmail AI Summary Beta

You can now easily see what type of tasks you’re working on in your calendar by syncing list colors with calendar event colors. You can also adjust the width of each lane to customize your interface. Lastly, though still in beta and needing optimization, we’ve added AI summaries for Slack messages and Gmail content. Let’s take a closer look!

⭐This Week's Highlights

Sync List Colors with Calendar Event Colors 📆

If you’re into productivity, you’ve probably heard about using calendar color codes. This technique lets you assign colors to different types of tasks in your calendar so you can quickly see what you’re working on and how much time you’re spending on each type. But until now, you had to change the colors of calendar events manually.

With this update, OFFLIGHT’s list colors are synced with calendar event colors. So if you’ve categorized your tasks by lists, you can automatically create your own calendar color code system without any extra work.

• The list color to calendar color sync is enabled by default.
• You can turn this option on or off in Settings → Calendar Settings → “Match event color with task list color.”

Adjusting Lane Widths 📏

If you’ve wanted to use your calendar space more effectively or adjust the width of less important lanes, this update is for you. You can now adjust the widths of the Unplanned, Planned, and Calendar lanes on the Planning page as you like.

💎 Hidden Gems

Slack and Gmail AI Summary Beta

AI-powered productivity is expected to bring significant changes in the next five years. While we  currently focus on the basics and usability of productivity tools, we’re also gradually incorporating AI features based on user demands. The first step is AI summaries for Slack and Gmail.

• When you save Slack a message into OFFLIGHT, the task title is automatically replaced as 'To-do from the message'. The full message is written in the task description.
• Clicking the AI Summary icon at the top right of a Gmail task will write the summary in the description.

Although it’s still a beta version that needs more optimization, please let us know what could be improved!
