Sync Excel schedules to Google Calendar with AI summary emails

The system reads your Excel schedule, updates Google Calendar automatically, and emails you a smart summary.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each schedule event.

The problem it solves

You're stuck manually re-entering schedule changes from a spreadsheet into your calendar, and small edits are easy to miss. Keeping everyone in sync means double-checking dates, times, and locations by hand.

Who it fits

Educators, program managers, or administrators who manage recurring schedules in a spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system downloads your latest Excel file
  2. It checks each event for errors or conflicts
  3. AI reviews the schedule and prepares clean, calendar-ready entries
  4. Events are created or updated directly in Google Calendar
  5. A summary of the changes is emailed to you
What you get

Calendar entries that always match your spreadsheet

Your calendar stays perfectly in sync with your schedule spreadsheet, and you get a summary email whenever something changes.

What you get

An up-to-date Google Calendar plus an emailed summary of what changed.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an OpenAI API key.

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.
