Keep the family calendar and school stuff straight

“School emails, flyers and activity schedules are drowning us.”

Forward school emails and photos of flyers; AI pulls out dates, deadlines and what to bring, and drafts calendar invites for you to approve.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Pick one place to collect school emails and flyer photos (a label or folder).
Ask the AI to pull out every date, deadline and to-bring item into a list.
Approve the calendar invites it drafts and share them with the family.

Copy this prompt

Read these school emails and flyer photos: [items]. List every event and deadline with date, time, which child, and what to bring or pay. Draft calendar invites as .ics files or a list I can paste. Flag anything that needs a reply or signature. Don't send replies or RSVP — stop for my review.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
