The problem it solves

Every time someone emails you to schedule a meeting, you have to stop, read the details, and manually add it to your calendar. It's easy to forget, and double-booking happens when a request slips past you.

Who it fits

Anyone who books meetings by email and wants them added to their calendar without manual entry.

How it works

  1. A new email arriving in Gmail starts the process
  2. The subject and body are checked for keywords like meeting or appointment
  3. If a match is found, the date, time, and title are pulled from the email text
  4. A new event is created automatically on your Google Calendar
What you get

Meetings added without opening your calendar

Emails that mention a meeting or appointment get turned straight into a calendar event, with the date, time, and title filled in for you.

What you get

A Google Calendar event created automatically from a matching email, with no manual entry.

What you need

A Gmail account and a Google Calendar account.

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.
