Extract Calendar Events from Images with AI

We're excited to announce our most powerful feature yet: AI-Powered Image Event Extraction. With this breakthrough technology, you can now extract calendar events from any image and transform them into fully-structured calendar events in seconds.

Why does this matter? Because apps like Cozi still make you type every event manually. Got a school calendar with 40 events? That's 40 events you type, one by one. With AI extraction, you snap a photo and all events appear automatically.

What Makes Extracting Events from Images Special

Traditional calendar apps like Cozi require manual entry for every event. Our AI changes this completely by extracting events from images:

• Universal Image Input: Works with screenshots, photos, PDFs, and documents
• Smart Image Recognition: Detects dates, times, locations, and event titles automatically from any image
• Instant Processing: Extract events from any image in under 10 seconds
• High Accuracy: 90%+ accuracy rate across different image types

How Image Event Extraction Works

Our AI processing pipeline uses three powerful models in sequence to extract calendar events from images:

1. Image Analysis: Advanced OCR extracts all text from your image
2. Context Understanding: AI identifies event-related information in the image
3. Smart Structuring: Automatically formats extracted data into calendar events

// Example of the AI processing workflow
const processImage = async (imageFile: File) => {
  // Step 1: Extract text and visual elements
  const extractedData = await extractFromImage(imageFile);

  // Step 2: AI processes the content
  const events = await processWithAI(extractedData);

  // Step 3: Return structured events
  return events.map(event => ({
    title: event.title,
    startAt: event.startTime,
    endAt: event.endTime,
    location: event.location
  }));
};

Perfect for Every Use Case: Extract Events from Any Image

Marketing Teams: Extract events from presentation images and campaign timeline screenshots

Project Managers: Extract deadlines from project document images and meeting notes

Students: Extract events from syllabus images and assignment sheet photos into calendar events

Personal Use: Extract events from family schedule images, travel itinerary photos, and appointment cards

Families: Stop typing 40 events from school calendars into Cozi. Snap a photo and let AI do the work.

Eliminate the time-consuming manual entry that affects millions of people every month by extracting calendar events from images. This is exactly what apps like Cozi can't do—they make you type everything.

The Technology Behind Image Event Extraction

We've integrated three cutting-edge AI models to ensure maximum accuracy when extracting calendar events from images:

• Gemini 2.5 Flash: Handles complex image layouts and multi-format content
• Claude 3.5 Haiku: Provides reliable fallback with excellent context understanding from images
• GPT-4o: Final processing for edge cases and quality assurance

This waterfall approach means if one model encounters difficulty with your image, the next automatically takes over, ensuring you always get results. Learn how it works.
