Have your AI build you a custom calendar

Tell your AI assistant what you like, where you can get to and when you're free. It builds a calendar of matching Bay Area events that you subscribe to once in Google, Apple or Outlook. New events that match show up on their own.

For example: salsa Thursday to Saturday evenings in SF, AI talks anywhere on the Peninsula, free comedy around the Bay.

How to do it

  1. Connect SFomo to your assistant (one time). It needs an app that can add an MCP connector, such as Claude or ChatGPT.
    https://sfomo.ai/mcp
    In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it “SFomo”, paste the link, leave the sign-in fields empty. Other apps: setup guide.
  2. Copy the prompt below into a new chat and send it. Fill in the “What I want” line, or leave it and take the short quiz.
  3. Check the sample it shows you and ask for changes (“fewer networking events”, “add Oakland”).
  4. Subscribe. Your assistant gives you a Google Calendar link, an Apple/Outlook link, and a link that opens the calendar on SFomo.

The prompt

Use the SFomo tools to build me a custom Bay Area events calendar that I can subscribe to and that keeps itself up to date.

What I want: [describe it here, e.g. salsa Thu-Sat evenings in SF, AI talks, free comedy around the Bay; or leave this as is and get a quick quiz]

If I've described what I want, build from that, and only ask about something important that's missing (like area or which days). If I haven't, offer me two ways to start: describe it in a sentence (for example "salsa Thu-Sat evenings in SF, AI talks, free comedy around the Bay"), or a quick quiz. For the quiz, ask a few questions at a time and skip anything I've already answered:
1. What do I like doing? (hobbies, kinds of events, scenes, e.g. "salsa", "AI meetups", "trail runs", "comedy")
2. Where can I realistically get to? (SF only, a neighborhood or city, parts of the Bay Area)
3. When am I free? (weekday evenings, weekends, mornings, late nights)
4. Free events only, or is paid fine?
5. A few picks a week, or everything that matches?
6. Anything to leave out?
7. Include events for kids or teens?

Then:
- Try a few search_events calls to see what my interests actually match, and tell me what you find.
- Call create_custom_calendar with a short name and one interest per distinct thing I like (each with its own area/days/times/free settings). Use exclude terms to cut noise.
- Show me the sample it returns and the weekly count. If it's too busy or misses things, adjust and call it again.
- When I'm happy, give me the Google Calendar and Apple/Outlook subscribe links, and tell me it refreshes on its own and that I can come back to change it.

Apps that support MCP prompts (such as Claude Desktop) also list this as “Have your AI create a custom calendar for you”.

Privacy

Your answers stay in your chat. SFomo only receives the filters your assistant builds, and doesn't store them: they live in the calendar link itself. Anyone you share the link with can see its interests. Privacy policy.
