AI-Powered Google Calendar Integration: Create, Update, Search & Delete Events Straight From AI Chat
TL;DR
Use our AI chat extension to seamlessly create, update, search, and delete Google Calendar events using simple natural language prompts—saving you time and hassle.
Introduction
Ever feel like managing your schedule is its own job? Imagine you're rushing between meetings, and suddenly a crucial appointment changes—now you have to spend precious minutes rearranging your entire day. Sound familiar? After integrating Google Calendar directly into our AI-powered browser chat extension, calendar management became effortless—tasks that once took minutes now take mere seconds.
In this article, I'll share real-world scenarios, prompts, and technical insights to help you leverage this toolset effectively.
Why Calendar Function Calling Beats Traditional Click-Flows
Traditional calendar management requires navigating multiple screens, clicks, and inputs. With Large Language Model (LLM) function calling, our extension converts simple natural language into precise API requests, drastically simplifying the process:
Securely interacts with Google Calendar via OAuth
Efficiently manages calendar events without manual intervention
Precisely understands your scheduling intent

Trust & Security
Your privacy and security are paramount. Our AI-powered calendar integration processes data securely within your browser, requesting minimal necessary permissions and ensuring no external storage of your personal calendar information. The information you enter travels to an AI service, which decides what actions should be taken. The Google Calendar API actions are requested locally. Message history is stored only locally by default, and you can choose to delete it anytime. Additionally, you can provide your own AI models—enter your own OpenAI API key (secure local storage) or OpenAI API-compatible chat completions endpoint. Read more about it here.
