No more sprinting between meetings.

Just shipped pre/post buffers in CalendarPipe — add up to 60 min before/after synced events. Perfect for commutes & breathing room.

Note to self: next launch, double-check that OpenAI, Anthropic, and Canva aren't shipping the same day. 😀

My family runs on calendars. When I need to pick up kids or handle errands, I want my work calendar to reflect that — automatically. I tried Reclaim, hit limits. Not every company lets you connect third-party tools to their calendars anyway.

So @LeZuse and I built CalendarPipe.

The trick: blockers might arrive as email invitations. Your company's security team doesn't need to approve anything. You can define sync rules through a Visual Builder — no code needed.

Then something unexpected happened. I added Apple calendar support, which meant implementing iCal, which unlocked calendar hosting. Plugged it into my MCP setup and it just worked.

I think we accidentally built the easiest way to fetch calendar events from multiple sources via CLI. And not just that — your AI agent can spin up its own calendar, receive events, and react — accepting, declining, or taking action.

We just launched on Product Hunt — would love your feedback 👇

@ryancarson We ship Agent Skills (https://t.co/kRlgIMnRHH) that work with Claude Code and OpenClaw out of the box — so the calendar part of your EA skill could be a lot thinner.

Happy to give you access to try it with clawchief.

Love this. My friend and I are building CalendarPipe (https://t.co/eGt6rTGJDF) — it's the calendar infrastructure piece of exactly this kind of setup.

The scheduling friction you describe (checking 6 calendars, parsing Calendly links, booking across accounts) is what we solve. Your agent gets its own hosted calendar with a real email address — people invite it directly, it RSVPs, sends invitations, checks availability across all connected calendars in one API call.

@LeZuse @VojtaRocek Haha. Jakože musím uznat, že to zdešení v souhře s existencionální kocovinou ve stylu: “Co jsme se to proboha shippnuli” byla zajímavá zkušenost. 😀

Cool use case of AlphaFold, this is just the beginning of digital biology!

Feature parity is just another way to say “we don’t need to exist”.

AppCenter is being retired - check notes - in a year from now. There’s no need to panic.

It’s a good time to start planning around migration and costs from CodePush to a new (or old but standalone) service like EAS
