Inspiration

I have to make lots of events throughout the day (assignments, meetings, etc.) and there is enough friction that sometimes I'd just rather not, which is bad. My calendar should know everything.

What it does

Create calendar events quickly, using natural language, without having to go to the google calendar.

How we built it

Firefox extension, AWS serverless functions, Google OAuth and Calendar API.

Challenges we ran into

Authentication and certain extension functions being deprecated. Styling is horrible, but I'm not a frontend expert. Google Gemini API is also somewhat slow, taking around 6/7 seconds to complete requests, which degrades the punctuality of the application.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works.

What we learned

Celsius has more caffeine than monster
