The Tempo app is a new iPhone app designed to help organize the lives of busy individuals. Developed by SRI International's (the same people who created Siri) Tempo AI, the app is designed to enhance the functionality and intelligence of your iPhone's calendar. Tempo takes the data from your calendar and extrapolates upon it. For example: a note about a meeting comes with driving directions to the meeting site as well as information about the people (LinkedIn profiles) and venue (reviews from Yelp and Foursquare).
The Tempo app also creates shortcuts to help you save time while using your smartphone. The app can call contacts, send mass emails and even remember passcodes for conference calls. The more you use the app the more intelligent it becomes. The Tempo app is being offered as a free download but service is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
