Welcome to my workshop, where we’ll explore how to integrate AI with Google Calendar to make a smart assistant. This project is a beginner-friendly demonstration of using OpenAI’s Assistants API to automate calendar management, showcasing the basics of AI and API integration. While our focus is on learning and experimentation rather than building a market-ready product, you’ll gain valuable insights into enhancing applications with AI. Let’s dive in and discover how combining simple AI interactions with everyday tools can create innovative solutions and inspire further exploration into the world of AI-powered applications. You can find all the code for this workshop in Google Colab

Google Colab and Jupyter Notebooks

The code for this workshop is written entirely in a Jupyter Notebook hosted on Google Colab. I will be assuming some knowledge of both going forward, so I recommend at least experimenting with with these technologies if you are not familiar with them. I explain the basics that you will need for this guide, and provide links to helpful references in my OpenAI Integration Workshop.
