I photograph my son's school flyers and my agent puts everything on my calendar

Her son's school sends home a lot of paper: fundraisers, spirit days, costume parade rules, events like Trunk or Treat. She photographs each flyer and the AI pulls out the dates, times and details and helps her get them on her calendar. When she could not remember whether Trunk or Treat was on the calendar, she asked the AI, and it was added along with the costume parade.

How it works

  1. Photograph each school flyer
  2. The AI reads the dates, times and details from the photo
  3. Events go on her calendar
  4. She can ask later whether a named event is on it

Why it’s worth knowing

A photo of a paper flyer becomes a calendar entry with the rules attached, which is the step parents actually drop.
