Tip only: paste a text block → Apple Calendar via Grok Bot
Syllabus-sized text hides dates, lectures, deadlines, and one-offs you do not want to type by hand.
What hurt
He Chen (@hechen) answered a calendar-automation ask with a crisp Grok Bot tip: copy/paste the text block and prompt "add all of this stuff to my Apple calendar". Sign in to iCloud in the VM viewer when asked. Tip only. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Paste messy schedule text → one prompt → iCloud sign-in in VM → review events on Apple Calendar.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
Calendar
Optional
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Author-quoted calendar paste prompt
Quoted from @hechen — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Last line is our approval fence: Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
add all of this stuff to my Apple calendar Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/hechen/status/2105402290626855203 (credit @hechen).
- 2Copy the messy block that holds dates, lectures, deadlines, and one-offs.
- 3Paste it into a Grok Bot chat with the quoted prompt: add all of this stuff to my Apple calendar.
- 4When the VM viewer asks, sign in to iCloud with your own account.
- 5Open Apple Calendar and fix any wrong times before you trust the week.
Approval fence
Review created events before relying on them; do not let the Bot delete existing calendar items without your yes.
What to tweak
Steal the paste-then-prompt. Review before you trust recurring classes.
