Reclaim.ai review
AI scheduling that defends focus time, habits and meetings on your Google or Outlook calendar.
⚡ Quick verdict
Reclaim is the easiest way to make your calendar work for you: set a weekly focus goal, add habits and tasks, and its AI agents keep finding time around meetings. The free Lite plan is genuinely useful for individuals, and Starter ($10 per seat) and Business ($15 per seat) add more agents and integrations for teams. It's lighter than Motion because it lives in the calendar you already use.
Key takeaways
- Lite: free forever with 5 AI agents, Focus Time, scheduling links and limited integrations (Google Tasks, Slack, Zoom, Google Meet).
- Starter: $10 per seat/month with 10 AI agents per seat for small teams.
- Business: $15 per seat/month with 100 AI agents per seat for larger teams.
- Every user gets a free 14-day Business trial; yearly billing saves 20%.
- Works with Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar; Enterprise via sales.

What Reclaim.ai is
Reclaim.ai is an AI scheduling assistant that sits on top of your Google or Outlook calendar. You tell it what matters—a weekly Focus Time goal, habits like lunch or exercise, tasks with deadlines, buffer time between meetings—and its AI agents find and defend time for them around your existing events. When meetings move, Reclaim reshuffles automatically.
For teams, Smart Meetings find the best time for recurring meetings, and Scheduling Links let people book you with priority rules. You can also chat with Reclaim’s AI Assistant to plan, prioritize and optimize your schedule.
