Abstract: A smart calendar system and method of managing tasks and schedules prominently mount to a surface while selectively displaying a calendar, artwork, and scheduling related information. A display portion selectively displays a calendar; and also displays artwork when the scheduling tasks are not in use. The display portion includes a reflective display that conserves energy and creates a more natural viewing experience. A database stores calendar data, profile data, and activity data associated with the user. the machine learning engine operates with artificial intelligence algorithms to derive schedules based on the calendar and the activity data, prioritize the importance of tasks, identify scheduling conflicts, generate scheduling suggestions, and controlling a home automation dashboard. The machine learning engine also operates a virtual assistant that provides voice interaction, making to-do lists.
