The workflow, in plain English
Before: Someone emails “Let’s meet Thursday at 3pm at Blue Bottle.” You read it, switch to Google Calendar, click Create, type the title, set the date, set the time, add the location, switch back.
After: Dassi reads the email, detects “Thursday at 3pm” and “Blue Bottle,” and injects a small calendar icon directly next to the date text. Click it. The event is created with all details pre-filled. The email grew a new button that wasn’t there before.
Why traditional tools can’t: Gmail has limited auto-detection that misses most informal date references. No extension can contextually parse free-text dates and inject buttons next to them on any email client.
Step-by-step
- Open the email thread containing the meeting details.
- Ask dassi to detect the date/time/location and create an event.
- Review the extracted details (timezone, duration, location).
- Confirm — then the event is created with fields pre-filled.
Example prompts to try
- “Turn this into a calendar invite for Thursday 3pm at Blue Bottle.”
- “Add a 25-minute buffer and include the Zoom link if present.”
- “Draft the event title based on the thread subject.”
Tips for better results
- Be specific about what you want injected into the page (buttons, filters, a panel, a summary, etc.).
- If the page has multiple sections, tell dassi exactly what to focus on (e.g., “the transactions table” or “the diff for file X”).
- Prefer safe workflows first: draft, summarize, label, and prepare — then take actions (submit, purchase) only after review.
