The AI watches my kids' six school Facebook groups and flags the clashes

School news for his two kids comes through six Facebook groups as well as email. The AI watches all of them, asks him which events he wants to track, spots clashes like a field trip on the same day as a dentist appointment, and keeps his calendar updated, and it also pulls the Scouts dates together and, before a camping weekend at two different spots, told him the weather at each one and what the boys should pack to stay warm.

How it works

  1. The AI monitors six school Facebook groups and his email
  2. It asks him which events and activities he wants to track
  3. It spots clashes, like a field trip on the same day as a dentist appointment
  4. It updates his calendar
  5. It pulls the Scouts dates together and, before a two location camping weekend, sends the weather for each spot and a packing note for each boy

Why it’s worth knowing

The news was never in one place. The agent sits across six groups and his calendar at once, which is the only way the clashes show up.
