Turns school email into calendar events and reminders
What this Grok bot does
For busy parents: turns school emails into calendar events with reminders days ahead, so you know the night before what to pack, wear, sign or pay, and stays quiet when there's nothing to do. Setup takes about 5 minutes in chat: connect Gmail and Google Calendar, add each child's first name, school senders and a color, and pick your evening digest time. Routines stay off until you approve them. It never pays, signs, RSVPs or messages anyone. Feedback: feedback@bowiehole.com
