Keep your calendar updated
Caddy helps your calendar reflect real life by turning plans, deadlines, and recurring obligations into events.

The problem
Important timing details often arrive in email or texts, but calendars only stay useful if someone keeps updating them.
How Caddy helps
- Detect dates, times, locations, and recurring commitments in email or messages.
- Create calendar events for appointments, auditions, meetings, errands, and work routines.
- Add prep blocks or follow-up reminders around important events.
Why Caddy is different
Caddy lives in Messages, so the workflow starts where you already text. It can text first when something matters, use connected tools when you allow it, and ask for approval before sensitive actions like sending email or changing calendar details.
What the workflow looks like
- 1
Tell Caddy about an event or an email with the details and ask it to make a calendar event.
- 2
Caddy extracts the relevant event details and asks for approval when needed.
- 3
The calendar event is created with useful context attached.
Texts to try
- “Add this audition and travel time to my calendar”
- “Make a recurring Friday block to approve payroll”
- “Put an hour on the cal with Coop whenever we're both free tomorrow”
Common scenarios
Create calendar events from email
