Voice Assistant
The Voice & Chat Assistant in the Trickle Mobile App lets you schedule, reschedule, cancel, block time, and plan travel all through simple, natural language commands. This guide explains where to find it, what it can do, and how to use it for faster scheduling and smarter time management.
Where to Find It
Open the Trickle Mobile App. The Voice button is located in the center of the bottom navigation bar. Tap to speak.
Not a good moment to talk? Tap Keyboard in the assistant to switch to the Chat Assistant and type instead. You can switch between voice and typing at any time.
Access: The Voice & Chat Assistant is available on Pro and Enterprise plans. The Free plan does not include assistant access.
What it does
Speak to it as you would to another person, no special syntax required. The assistant can:
Schedule one-off or multi-attendee meetings (honors your availability, durations, locations, buffers)
Reschedule or cancel specific events, or clear entire days/weeks
Block time for focus, errands, or out-of-office periods
Plan travel with multi-stop routes and pickups, and set leave-by reminders
Give you a day or week briefing, including free time blocks and risks/conflicts
Day & Week Briefing
Ask for a concise overview of your day or week. Trickle checks your connected calendars, travel blocks, and reminders, then replies with what matters.
Sample commands:
What’s on today?
Give me my week at a glance.
Where do I have a 2-hour block this week?
Any tight turnarounds today I should fix?
Example reply:
Today (Tue)
09:30–10:00 Stand-up (Zoom)
11:00–12:00 Client review (Office) — leave by 10:35 (travel)
13:00–15:00 Focus block
Free: 12:05–12:55 (50m), 15:15–16:00 (45m)
Heads-up: 20m gap between review → next call; consider moving or making the next call Zoom.
Travel Time, Multi-Stop Routes & Pickups
Tell Trickle your route in plain language (including people or places to pick up) and it will calculate the full travel time, block it in your calendar, and send a leave-by reminder.
How It Works
Understands People & Places
Example: “Pick up Elise in Ghent.” If Elise is in your Contacts, Trickle uses her saved address; otherwise it asks for confirmation.
Builds the Full Route
Example: Home/Office → pickup(s) → destination → optional pre-event stops (badge pickup) → computes total travel time with buffers.
Blocks Calendar + Sends Reminder
Creates a Travel block before the event and sends a leave-by notification that accounts for the route and travel settings.
Sample commands:
On Friday I’m going to the Product Summit at Tour & Taxis. Pick up Elise in Ghent on the way. Block travel and remind me when to leave.
Next Tuesday: home → Leuven (pick up Jonas) → Brussels Expo. Arrive by 09:00. Add a 15-minute buffer.
Before my 14:00 client meeting at Avenue Louise, add a 10-minute stop to collect badges. Tell me when to leave.
Tomorrow afternoon I need to drop the rental car at Zaventem before the 16:30 flight. Check the route and block travel.
What You’ll See:
A Travel block that spans the full route (including pickups/stops)
A leave-by reminder at the correct time
The pickup reflected in briefings, e.g.:
“11:00–12:00 Client review (Office). Leave by 10:20, pickup Elise (Ghent) on the way.”
Privacy: Location is used only to compute travel estimates. Contact addresses are used if saved in Contacts.
(re)Scheduling
Use a single sentence with duration, date window, location, and participants.
Real examples:
Find 45 minutes with Alex and Priya next week, Zoom only.
Move my 1:1 with Laura to Thursday afternoon.
Cancel all meetings next Friday.
Hold two hours of focus time tomorrow morning.
When scheduling, recipients receive clickable time options and a booking page that respects your constraints (dates, location, participants).
Chat Assistant
All voice features are available in chat. Tap Keyboard to switch modes. This is useful in quiet environments (train, meetings) or when you need to paste/type precise details like addresses, flight numbers, or agendas.
Example (typed):
Schedule 30 minutes with Nora the week after next, mornings only, Brussels office.
