TheMachine is an investment platform that provides tools for managing dealflow, organizing notes, recording and transcribing meetings, managing your calendar, and analyzing investment opportunities. The Service includes:

• Calendar integration for meeting management, event scheduling, and full calendar management

• Automated meeting recording and transcription via Recall.ai
• Note-taking and organization tools
• AI-powered extractions and analysis

2.1 SMS and Voice Communications

• The Service includes optional SMS and voice features through which an AI personal assistant can send and receive messages on the user's behalf.
• By verifying a phone number on the platform, the user consents to receive SMS from the AI assistant for the organizations they are members of, sent from a phone number provisioned to that organization.
• All messages from the AI assistant are clearly identified as AI-generated; the user can disable AI disclosure prefixes per organization through admin settings.
• The user is responsible for ensuring they have the right to communicate with any third party they instruct the AI assistant to message; the platform will not knowingly send unsolicited messages to non-consented recipients.
• Standard message and data rates may apply from the user's mobile carrier.
• Message frequency varies. Reply STOP, STOPALL, OPTOUT, CANCEL, END, QUIT, UNSUBSCRIBE, or REVOKE to opt out. Reply HELP for help.
• Voice calls are subject to the same opt-in / opt-out controls as SMS.

2.2 Acceptable Use — Messaging

• Users must not use the SMS or voice features to send unsolicited commercial messages, harass, threaten, or violate the TCPA, FCC rules, or carrier acceptable-use policies.
• Violation is grounds for account suspension and may result in phone-number revocation.

3. Google Calendar Integration

3.1 Authorization

By connecting your Google Calendar to TheMachine, you authorize us to read and write to your calendar events as described in our Privacy Policy. This includes the ability to create, modify, and delete events on your behalf, both through the platform interface and through our AI agent calendar tools. You can revoke this authorization at any time through your account settings or Google Account permissions.

3.2 Calendar Management
