The problem it solves

Every time you schedule something new, you end up entering it twice, once in your tracking sheet and once in your calendar. It is easy to forget one or the other, or to get the date format wrong when you copy it over.

Who it fits

An admin or coordinator who tracks events in a spreadsheet and needs them synced to a calendar.

How it works

  1. A new event row appears in the spreadsheet
  2. The event date is reformatted for the calendar
  3. A matching event is created in Google Calendar with the title, description, and location
What you get

Events appearing on your calendar automatically

New rows in your spreadsheet turn into matching events on your Google Calendar automatically, with the details already filled in.

What you get

A new Google Calendar event that matches the spreadsheet entry.

What you need

A Google Workspace account with Sheets and Calendar access.

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.
