A few things off your plate

The school calendar that needs copying over. The appointment buried in an email. The groceries still waiting to be ordered. Text Caddy and hand over the job.

CaddyExample: school website to calendar

Find the calendar on our school’s website and add October’s half days and closures to mine

Found the school calendar and added all three: half days on October 9 and 23, and the closure on October 12. Each event includes the school calendar link.

The problem

Running a household means doing the same small jobs across school websites, email, calendars, and shopping carts. Knowing what needs doing is only half of it.

How Caddy helps

  • Find the published calendar on your school’s website and add half days, closures, and events to Google Calendar.
  • Turn appointment emails into calendar events with the time, address, and room to get there.
  • Turn a meal plan into groceries and fill an online cart for you to review.
  • Write and send replies to school or household emails after you approve the message.

Why Caddy is different

Give Caddy the job the way you would hand it to another person at home. It can open the website, read the email, and make the update, so you have one less thing to finish yourself.

Caddy in action

CaddyExample: an appointment email, taken care of

Add the dentist appointment from Dr. Kim’s email to my calendar, with 20 minutes to get there

Added Thursday, 2:30–3:30, with the office address. I also blocked 2:10–2:30 for the trip there.

CaddyExample: groceries ready to order

Add the ingredients from this dinner plan to my usual grocery cart. We already have rice and olive oil

The cart is filled for the three dinners, with rice and olive oil left out. Your usual store is out of spinach. Would you like kale instead?

Kale works

Swapped in kale. The cart is ready for your review before checkout.

What the workflow looks like

  1. 1

    Text the outcome you want, such as adding this term’s school dates to your calendar.

  2. 2

    Share the school website or point Caddy to the email. Connect the account it needs when asked.

  3. 3

    Caddy finds the details and does the work, with a review before sending emails or placing orders.

  4. 4

    Get a confirmation of what was added, sent, or completed in the same conversation.

Texts to try

  • Find this term’s calendar on our school’s website and add the half days and closures to my Google Calendar.
  • Find the dentist confirmation in my email and add the appointment and travel time to my calendar.
  • Put the ingredients for these dinners in my online grocery cart. Leave out what I already have.
  • Reply to the school email that I can volunteer Friday morning. Show me before sending.

Get the groceries ready to order

Give Caddy your dinner plan and store. It can fill the cart, check substitutions with you, and prepare the order for review.

Best ways to use it

  • Name the school, term, and calendar so Caddy can use the right dates.
  • Say whether you want an event added to your calendar or an appointment booked with someone. Those are separate jobs.
  • For groceries, share your store, quantities, budget, and any allergies or substitution preferences.

Frequently asked questions

Can Caddy find the school calendar itself?

Yes. Give Caddy the school name or website and the term you want. It can find the published dates and add them to a Google Calendar you connect. It asks when a school, date, or calendar is unclear.

Can Caddy turn emails into calendar events?

Yes. With Gmail and Google Calendar connected, Caddy can read a confirmation email and create an event with its date, time, address, and other useful details.

Can Caddy fill my grocery cart?

Caddy can work through online stores in its browser, add the items you ask for, and prepare checkout. Store access and availability vary. You may need to sign in, and you review the order before a purchase.

When do I need to review something?

Caddy can add clear events to your own calendar from your request. Sending emails or invitations and placing orders require review. It asks you for any missing details along the way.
