💡 Natural Language Add-to-Google Calendar Macro for Keyboard Maestro – Privacy-Friendly, Chrome Extension Alternative

Interested in a natural language processing-assisted add-to-calendar macro.

A couple Chrome extensions do it, like:

and this project:

Also: AI tools, like LLM-based ChatGPT, can generate .ics files. Todoist apparently can do NLP, then sync with GCal.


If I cared about privacy I wouldn't be using Google services, but I'm still hesitant to connect my calendar to yet another tech company's API (e.g. OpenAI). So perhaps an approach like:

[using] the Chrono library to extract time data from text.

would avoid opening yet another privacy gap for marketers and worse to drive a truck through :smiley:

Chrono sounds a good option, and/or a little local language model (with a robust event review process so we don't show up an hour or year late somewhere).


In the meantime, I've sent this feedback to Google via GCal (y'all welcome to copy/paste it into the question mark -> feedback in the upper right of GCal):

It's been years since natural language entry was supported - big sad. Please consider approaches to bringing it back :blue_heart:
