Put my boys' school events in my calendar from emails and bulletins, and email the school for me

A mother posted on Facebook on Oct 19 (explicitly 'not an ad') that the AI pulled her sons' school event dates from emails and bulletins she could never find by searching, put them in her calendar, and set a dinner-planning reminder. The AI also emailed the school to update her phone number, confirming everything with her before anything was sent.

How it works

  1. The AI searches her emails and bulletins
  2. Extracts her sons' school event dates
  3. Adds them to her calendar
  4. Sets a dinner-planning reminder
  5. Drafts an email to the school updating her phone number
  6. Confirms with her
  7. Sends it

Why it’s worth knowing

The dates were unfindable by her own searching — the agent retrieved them from bulletins and finished the loop by emailing the school itself.
