Calendar vs Timezone Bot
These two do different jobs, and Calendar (@calendar0bot) is the one to keep if you want an actual schedule: events from forwarded posts, photos and voice notes, a morning plan, shared group calendars and two-way Google Calendar sync. Timezone Bot (@the_timezone_bot) keeps no calendar at all: it answers a single command such as /convert 3PM GMT to PST and can run a live countdown to a date, free, with an English-only interface. Reach for Timezone Bot when the only question is what time a call falls for a colleague abroad.
