Spot recurring meetings, emails and bills and offer to prep them
An assistant on top of Gmail and Calendar detects recurring meetings, repeated email types and bills, then asks whether to prep or schedule them.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- In the thread, the concrete version came from a commenter building Dexi, an app layered on top of Gmail and Calendar. They said it watches for repeated patterns on its own, including recurring meetings, the same kinds of emails you repeatedly answer, and bills, then asks the user whether to have those items prepared or scheduled instead of making them re-prompt the system each week.
- How it went
- The source gives no usage metrics or outcome numbers. The builder says it is still early and rough, and they were asking people to try it and report what is broken.
- Worth knowing
- Big catch: this was described by one of the people building it, with no implementation details beyond Gmail/Calendar access and pattern detection.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Scan the last [3] months of my Gmail and Google Calendar for recurring meetings, repeated types of emails, and recurring bills. Give me a list of what you found, and for each item propose a prep step or a calendar reminder, such as an agenda draft or a bill due-date reminder. Ask me before creating any event, sending any message, or paying anything.
