Uplevel's Meeting Classifier takes into account high-level details surrounding number of participants, meeting titles, and the duration of meetings to provide insights around which kinds of meetings take the most of your time.
Blocked for work meetings are scheduled blocks of time on your calendar used to categorize uninterrupted, heads down time. Blocks for work are captured as Deep Work if they are two or more hours long, or are part of a longer block of non-meeting time. Pair programming meetings are also counted as “blocked for work” for all attendees.
A meeting between an individual and a coworker that isn't classified as another meeting type.
Office Hours are meetings that contain multiple participants and key phrases in the meeting title, such as “Office Hours” or “brown bag”. By declining or marking Office Hours as tentative on your calendar, Uplevel does not assume you’ve attended the meeting and, thus, does not factor in these meetings to affect your levels of Deep Work or Always On.
Out of office events are any that utilize a variety of key phrases in the meeting title, such as "OOO", "Leave", "School Dropoff," "Appointment," and more. This is used to capture brief absences such as being unavailable for an hour for an appointment, and also longer vacations that are marked on the calendar. It also automatically treats that US business holidays are Out-of-Office since these are often not explicitly marked on the calendar.
These meeting types would not be counted towards Deep Work or Always On.
Examples of Product Release Reviews would be launch meetings, roadmap planning meetings and more. Uplevel considers the meeting title and number of participants to categorize meetings into this meeting type.
Recruiting meetings are interviews or other recruiting events, as defined by the number of participants and key phrases in the meeting title, such as "interview", "candidate", "phone screen", and more.
This meeting type includes any team scrum events, such as standup meetings or sprint retros.
Uplevel captures social/company events by factoring in multiple participants and key phrases in the meeting title, like “happy hour”, “social party”, and more.
