Appearance

Calendar Integration ​

MyOctopus integrates with the built-in macOS Calendar app to read events, create events, and trigger automations.

Setup ​

No setup needed — MyOctopus connects to Calendar.app automatically. Just grant Calendar access when macOS prompts you.

Features ​

List Events ​

View upcoming events for any time range. Ask in chat:

"what's on my calendar today?"

Create Events ​

Create calendar events with title, start/end time, description, location, and attendees:

"create a meeting called Team Standup tomorrow at 10 AM"

Find Free Slots ​

Find available time slots in your calendar for scheduling:

"when am I free tomorrow afternoon?"

Calendar Triggers ​

Run automations before upcoming events:

  • Trigger N minutes before any event
  • Filter by event title (e.g., only "standup" meetings)

See Triggers for more on calendar triggers.

Example: Meeting Prep ​

"5 minutes before standup, open Slack and send a notification"

This creates a calendar trigger that opens Slack and notifies you before your standup meeting.

See the Meeting Prep preset in Preset Templates.

Example: Daily Briefing ​

"every morning at 8 AM, summarize today's calendar and my latest emails"

This creates a scheduled automation that fetches your calendar and emails, then AI generates an executive briefing.

See the Daily Briefing preset in Preset Templates.
