## Description

You can finally ask your AI agent about your schedule without worrying about privacy or complex API integrations. If you export your calendar as an .ics file, this Connector lets your agent read that file like a document. It breaks down every event, including titles, locations, and attendee lists, into a structured timeline. This means you can ask things like 'When am I free for a coffee chat on Tuesday?' or 'How many hours did I spend in meetings last week?' and get actual answers based on your real data. Because it works on a local file, your schedule stays on your machine. It's a simple way to give your agent context about your life without opening up your entire digital identity. You can find this and other tools in the Vinkius catalog to bridge the gap between your private data and your AI's capabilities.

Your agent can look at the gaps between events to tell you exactly when you're available.

Every morning, you ask your agent for a summary of the day. It lists your three main meetings and the locations for each.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the iCal Calendar Parser protect my privacy?**
It keeps your data local. Instead of connecting your AI to a live cloud account, it reads a file on your machine. Your schedule stays private unless you choose to share that specific file.

**Can I use iCal Calendar Parser with my Google Calendar?**
Yes. You just need to export your Google Calendar as an .ics file. Once you have that file, the Connector can read it to help you manage your time.

**Does the iCal Calendar Parser work with Outlook?**
It works with any standard .ics export, which includes Outlook. Just export your calendar and provide the file path to your agent.

**Will my AI agent see my meetings in real-time?**
This Connector reads a snapshot of your calendar. If you add a new meeting, you'll need to export the updated .ics file for your agent to see it.

**What happens if I have more than 200 events?**
The Connector is optimized to handle up to 200 events at a time. For very large calendars, it's best to export a specific date range, like your upcoming month.

**Can the iCal Calendar Parser find free slots for me?**
Yes. Once the Connector reads your file, your agent can look for gaps between events and tell you exactly when you're available for new appointments.

**How do I export my Google Calendar?**
Go to calendar.google.com > Settings > Import & Export > Export. It downloads a .zip containing .ics files for each calendar.

**Can it detect scheduling conflicts?**
Yes! Because events are sorted chronologically with start/end times, the AI can easily spot overlapping events and alert you.

**Does it include recurring events?**
Yes, the parser expands recurring events according to the iCal RRULE specification, so each individual occurrence appears as its own entry.
