Joshu inspects place ratings, business hours, and recent reviews, staging a curated list of recommendations.
You: What is the best transit route to the airport during Friday rush hour?

Live traffic estimates, transit routes, and place details in Google Maps connect directly to your daily scheduling and appointment planning.
What Joshu does
Joshu uses Google Maps to keep your in-person schedule realistic. It verifies venue addresses from meeting invitations, calculates driving or transit durations, and suggests travel buffers for your calendar. When scheduling coffee chats or dinner meetings, Joshu suggests convenient meeting spots midway between participants and checks operating hours in advance.
What you do
Connect your Google account with OAuth and allow Joshu to query route and place services. Decide whether travel departure alerts appear in your morning brief or ping your phone ahead of scheduled meetings. Joshu asks you to approve each travel buffer before it goes on your calendar.
Why it sticks
Back-to-back meetings in different parts of town often lead to late arrivals because calendar apps do not factor in real-world transit delays. Joshu accounts for travel times automatically so your in-person days run smoothly.
Permissions and limits
Joshu accesses Google Maps through Composio-managed Google OAuth. It reads routing data, location coordinates, and place information. It cannot track your phone's location or read your location history.
