### Fantastical Unveils AI-Driven Email to Calendar Event Creation
Fantastical has always been celebrated for its easy-to-use methodology in calendar management, empowering users to generate events through natural language inputs. Now, the application has made a remarkable enhancement by facilitating calendar event creation that necessitates minimal user interaction—users don’t even have to access the app.
#### AI Collaboration with Google Gemini
Flexibits, the creators of Fantastical, are leveraging artificial intelligence, particularly Google Gemini, to simplify the conversion of emails into calendar entries. This groundbreaking feature permits users to directly forward emails to Fantastical, where it extracts pertinent event information and incorporates it into the user’s calendar.
#### Functionality Overview
To make use of this feature, users need only to forward an email to Fantastical’s specific email address ([email protected]) using any email linked to their Flexibits account. For example, if you get a flight confirmation or an event ticket receipt, forwarding that email to Fantastical will quickly result in the relevant details being automatically entered into your calendar.
#### Custom Instructions and Multiple Entries
The capability goes beyond merely handling single events. Fantastical can identify several events within a single email, offering flexibility for various situations. Users can also attach custom instructions in their forwarded messages. For instance, if you wish to set aside time to thoughtfully reply to a friend, you can forward their email with specific scheduling directions.
#### Privacy Precautions
Flexibits has emphasized user privacy with this new integration. Emails sent to Fantastical are managed by Flexibits servers and Google Cloud, with immediate deletion following processing. Notably, neither Flexibits nor Google Cloud keeps these emails for AI training purposes. Events identified from forwarded emails are held temporarily on Flexibits servers and erased once the user either adds or discards them in the app. Users can be confident that only the forwarded email’s content is available, resembling sending a message to a trusted associate.
#### Final Thoughts
This new functionality from Flexibits denotes a notable leap in calendar management, simplifying the process for users to maintain their schedules without the burden of manual input. For those keen on exploring this capability, further details can be accessed on the Flexibits website. New users can also benefit from a 14-day complimentary trial of Fantastical and Cardhop with Flexibits Premium. Fantastical is accessible across multiple platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Windows.
