These examples are grounded in the real Runner backend connector definitions and connector guidance docs, not generic marketing filler.
Google Calendar
Find the right meeting window
gcal_find_available_slots
Find available meeting slots across multiple attendees using free/busy data.
"Find 3 openings next week for a 30-minute founder follow-up with Maya and Oliver."
Runner proposes real slots instead of making you manually compare calendars.
Google Calendar
Look up the event you are about to walk into
gcal_find_events
Robust event lookup for next, previous, date-range, or text-based event queries.
"Show me today's investor meetings and the exact titles and times."
The meeting schedule becomes part of the operating context before you respond or prepare.
Google Calendar
Create the follow-up meeting
gcal_create_event
Create a calendar event with optional Google Meet link, recurrence, and idempotency protection.
"Create a 45-minute follow-up next Thursday afternoon with a Meet link and add the thread participants."
The next step turns into a real calendar commitment instead of a vague intention.
Google Calendar
Adjust or RSVP without leaving the workflow
gcal_update_event
Update an event, including attendees, timing, recurrence, and Meet links.
"Move tomorrow's board prep to 2 PM and add the finance lead."
Runner keeps the event current while you stay in the same working surface.
Google Calendar
Accept, decline, or go tentative
gcal_rsvp_event
Respond to a calendar invitation with accept, decline, or tentative.
"Mark the partner sync as tentative until I confirm the travel window."
Calendar state stays accurate without interrupting the rest of the workflow.
