ReMotive: Enhancing Digital Calendar Experience with AI

Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of the shift to remote work on working parents, heightened by the COVID- 19 pandemic. Utilizing surveys and interviews, it explores the challenges these individuals face in balancing professional duties with childcare. A key focus is a development of ’Remotive’, an AI/MLpowered tool integrated into Google Calendar, designed to aid remote working parents in managing their well-being. This research highlights the necessity for adaptive work policies and digital tools in enhancing the work-life balance of remote workers, paving the way for future studies on the long-term effects, broader demographics, and the efficacy of such technological solutions in diverse working environments.
