What is SavvyCal?

SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.

SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

What is Volatility?

Volatility 3 2.28.2 adds Mermaid tree output and starts deprecating macOS analysis.

Volatility 3 reached functional parity with Volatility 2 in 2.26.0, then reorganised malware plugins into their own namespace and added an arrow/parquet renderer. 2.28.0 in April brought Linux sockscan and process_spoofing. 2.28.2 in September adds a Mermaid renderer for tree relationships, lets Linux malfind dump enumerated VMAs, verifies Intel layers with translation checks, and adds a deprecation warning for macOS analysis.

SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.

◆ Current state

SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

◆ Where it's heading

For most of the year SavvyCal has added control for hosts and assistants who schedule for others. The MCP server extends that to software assistants: the same booking and rescheduling actions now work from a chat. That puts SavvyCal's scheduling logic inside other tools instead of only on its booking pages.

◆ Prediction

Expect follow-ups that widen what the MCP server can do, such as more scheduling actions. The single release gives little else to predict from.

Volatility 3 2.28.2 adds Mermaid tree output and starts deprecating macOS analysis.

◆ Current state

Volatility 3 reached functional parity with Volatility 2 in 2.26.0, then reorganised malware plugins into their own namespace and added an arrow/parquet renderer. 2.28.0 in April brought Linux sockscan and process_spoofing. 2.28.2 in September adds a Mermaid renderer for tree relationships, lets Linux malfind dump enumerated VMAs, verifies Intel layers with translation checks, and adds a deprecation warning for macOS analysis.

◆ Where it's heading

Development is narrowing toward Windows and Linux, with output formats that feed other tools. The macOS warning is the first sign of support being cut back.

◆ Prediction

Expect macOS analysis support to be reduced or removed in a later release; the entries don't say when.
