The problem it solves

Important events sit in a calendar that half the team never opens, so people miss meetings or deadlines they didn't know existed. Manually copying event details into a chat message every day is a small chore that's easy to forget.

Who it fits

Small teams who want calendar events visible in the chat app they actually check.

How it works

  1. A recurring interval starts the check
  2. Upcoming events are pulled from Google Calendar
  3. Events are filtered to the set time window
  4. Each event is formatted into a readable summary and posted to your team chat
What you get

Calendar events visible in your team chat

Your team sees upcoming calendar events posted right in the chat app they already check, with no need to open a calendar.

What you get

A formatted chat message listing upcoming calendar events.

What you need

A Google account with Calendar access and a webhook-enabled team chat channel.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
