Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a calendar consultation with a user. The disclosed technology uses at least a personal profile or a personal scheduling model and identifies issues in scheduled calendar events associated with the user. Based on a number of the identified issues, a calendar consultant informs the user about the identified issues and prompts the user whether to interactively resolve the issues through a calendar consultation session. During the calendar consultation session, the calendar consultant interactively informs about issues, suggests options for resolving the issues, confirms an option to perform, and updates the calendar schedule. The calendar consultant proactively suggests the user to participate in interactive calendar consultation sessions and improves productivity of the user performing tasks.
