it's something that we are Everyone does this several times a week: We manually add things to our calendars while copying details from emails. What if a bot could do that work for you?
This is the idea behind it fwd2calCurrently free project by Mo Adham It can parse any email with an appointment and automatically add it to your calendar. If you get an email with a potential calendar appointment—a party invitation, a meeting, a coworker casually mentioning you could join them for drinks after work today—you can send it to the free bot.

“I wrote it because I was really frustrated with managing multiple different email addresses on different platforms into the same calendar,” Adham writes on the project's website. “This also seemed like a task that machine learning could probably do reliably.”
I've been testing this for a few weeks, and so far I agree: this is something that machine learning can do reliably. The service couldn't be easier to use, and the setup process isn't too difficult. All you have to do is send an email calendar@fwd2cal.comYou'll get a message back with a link asking you to authorize your Google Calendar. You can add more email addresses by sending another email to the service – just put “Add” your second email address in the subject line and you're done.
After connecting Fwd2cal to your Google Calendar, you can start using the service. You can forward any email mentioning any event – the bot will parse the email, turn it into a calendar appointment, then add it to your Google Calendar. If something goes wrong, you'll receive an email explaining why. If not, the service will continue to silently add appointments to your calendar. If you want, you can even include instructions in the email using the same phrasing you use to talk to an AI chatbot. I've found the bot to be very good at figuring out what you want.

The good news is that the project is distributed with an open source license, which means code available online If you want to review it.

The service runs on a combination of tools from Google Cloud, OpenAI, and SendGrid.
Fwd2cal is free, although this is subject to change. “If it ever gets too popular and costs too much to run, I'll probably start charging for it,” Adham writes on the website. Meanwhile, it is a service that offers some great features.
