fwd2cal

fwd2cal lets users forward an email thread to a dedicated address, after which AI extracts details such as date, time, location, and attendees and adds the event to Google Calendar. Users sign up by sending an email and authorising Google Calendar access. The page states that emails and events are processed by AI but not stored, that only users' email addresses are stored, and that it uses subprocessors Google, OpenAI, and Resend. Multiple sending email addresses are supported. The source code is available under the Apache 2.0 licence and can be self-hosted.
