Trunk or Treat Was Missing From the Calendar, Now It's On: A Mom's Meta Muse Turns School Flyer Photos Into Events

What they did
Can a bot keep up with all the paper that comes home from school? A mom photographs every flyer her son brings home, from Trunk or Treat to costume parade rules and spirit days, and Meta Muse pulls out the dates and details and puts them on her calendar. When she asked whether Trunk or Treat was on it, it wasn't, so Muse added it along with the costume parade. She also gets a 7am weather note on shorts or pants, reminders for sneakers on PE days and the spirit shirt on Fridays, and a morning preview of her day.
How it went
School events on the calendar from flyer photos, and a short morning note on clothes and special items.
Worth knowing
- One parent's Reddit post, no numbers. Check dates read from blurry photos, and ask the bot to list what it added so nothing gets doubled.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
When I send you a photo of a school flyer, pull out every date, time, place and thing my child needs to bring or wear, and add each one to my calendar with a reminder [the night before]. Tell me what you added. Every school morning at [7am], send me the weather and what my child should wear, plus any special items for the day: [PE days = sneakers, Fridays = spirit shirt]. If I ask whether an event is on my calendar, check and add it if it's missing.
