Add something to my calendar

Schedule [EVENT] on [DATE/TIME] with [PERSON].

The fastest way to put something on your calendar is to just say what it is. alfred_ parses time, attendees, and any extra options like video links from a single sentence.

What alfred_ does

1. Parses the date, time, duration, and timezone (defaults to yours if not stated)
2. Resolves attendee names to emails from your contacts
3. Adds a video link if requested (Zoom, Google Meet)
4. Creates the event on your default calendar
5. Sends invites to attendees (you can opt out of this if you prefer)

What to include in the prompt

The more you give in one shot, the fewer follow-up questions:

You include	alfred_ does
Just a time	Creates a personal block
Time + person	Creates and sends an invite
Time + person + duration	Uses your duration instead of the default 30 min
Time + “with Zoom” or “with Meet link”	Attaches a video link
Time + topic	Sets the event title

Examples by surface

Web chat (more detail tends to work):

• “Schedule a Zoom call on May 8th 6am PST with Dylan and Hart regarding the Raven discussion”

SMS (terser is fine):

• “Send invite to Meti Basiri for 30 mins at 3pm”
• “Calendar stables 6pm on Monday”
• “Put football on my calendar tomorrow 3-4pm, include mom”

Adding video links

alfred_ supports Google Meet (auto-attached if you have Google Calendar) and Zoom (if you’ve connected your Zoom account). Be explicit:

• “Include a Google Meet link”
• “Add a Zoom link”
• “Use my personal Zoom room”

Personal blocks vs. invites

If you don’t want anyone notified, say so:

• “Block 9-10am tomorrow for deep work, no invite”
• “Put ‘dentist’ on my calendar Friday 2pm, just for me”

Reminders without a calendar event

For “remind me to X” without taking up a calendar slot, see Add a reminder, that uses the task system instead of the calendar.
