How to schedule calendar events with your AI

Connect Fantastical to your AI client once. After that, you just tell your agent what you need to do, and it handles the scheduling.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI add things to my calendar?

Yes. You give your agent a description of a meeting, and it creates the entry in Google, iCloud, or Microsoft 365. It handles the dates and times for you. Here is how it works.

Where your events land.

Your schedule, organized.

Your agent maps your text to the right calendar service.

GOOGLE

Google Calendar entries

The AI builds events directly in your Google account. It sets the title and time based on your chat.

ICLOUD

iCloud Calendar entries

Your agent pushes appointments to iCloud. This keeps your Apple calendar in sync with your messages.

MICROSOFT

Microsoft 365 entries

The AI creates events in Outlook or Microsoft 365. It handles the formatting for you.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If your request is too vague, the AI will ask you for more details. You decide when the event is final.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and your calendar provider.

  1. Read your schedule

    Your agent looks at your current calendar to find existing meetings or check your availability.

    get_event

  2. Create new entries

    The AI takes your text and builds a new event in your chosen calendar service.

    create_event

  3. Update existing plans

    If you need to move a meeting, the AI finds the entry and changes the time or details.

    update_event

  4. Remove events

    When you cancel something, the AI removes that specific entry from your calendar.

    delete_event
