When to use it

Whenever a message or letter is full of dates

Capture the dates
Copy the email text, or take a clear photo of the letter or timetable.
Ask AI to list the events
Paste or attach it with this prompt.
Prompt to copyFind every date, event and deadline in this text or image. For each give: event title (short and clear), date, start and end time (or 'all day'), location, what to bring or do, and a sensible reminder (e.g. 1 day before). Present it as a table in date order. Flag anything where the date or time is unclear. If you can create files, also give me a calendar file (.ics) I can import. [paste text or attach photo]
Add them to your calendar
Import the calendar file if you got one, or add each row as an event in Google Calendar or Outlook. Gemini can add events to Google Calendar directly if connected.
Share with your household
Invite your partner or add the events to a shared family calendar so everyone sees them.

Gmail already adds flights and restaurant bookings to Google Calendar automatically for many confirmations, so check before adding twice.
