Forward, snap, or say it. Jaime puts it on your calendar.
School emails. Party invites. The soccer schedule that changes every week. Travel confirmations buried in your inbox. Forward them to Jam — or snap a photo, or just say it out loud — and Jaime, Jam’s AI assistant, turns them into events on your shared family calendar automatically. No copy-pasting dates. No typing it in twice so your partner sees it too. Wham, bam, thank you, Jam.
Your inbox is full of calendar events waiting to happen
Every week, the details that run your family’s life show up as text buried in long emails: the half-day schedule, the field-trip permission deadline, the recital time, the birthday party RSVP. Getting each one onto the calendar — where everyone can actually see it — means stopping, reading, and retyping. Jaime skips that step. You forward; Jaime reads the email, pulls out the who / what / when / where, and adds it to your calendar for you.
How to forward an email to your calendar with Jam
1. Forward the email
Send any email straight to your Jam address — right from your phone or computer, in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, whatever you use.
2. Jaime reads it and builds the event
Jaime, Jam’s AI assistant, pulls the date, time, location, and details out of the message, even if they’re scattered through a long, rambling newsletter.
3. Review and you’re done
You get a notification when your event is ready. Give it a quick glance, and it’s on your shared family calendar — visible to everyone you’ve shared with, not just you.
Not just emails — screenshots and schedules too
Got a paper schedule from school? A flyer? A screenshot of a group text with the carpool times? Send Jaime an image and it reads that too, turning a photo of a printed calendar into real, editable events. If a human can read it and see an event in it, Jaime can.
No email to forward? Just say it.
Sometimes the plan happens out loud — in the car, at pickup, mid-dinner-rush. You don’t need to type any of it. Tap the mic and tell Jaime: “Soccer moves to 5pm Thursday,” or “Add milk, eggs, and paper towels to the grocery list,” or “Remind me to sign the permission slip tomorrow morning.” Jaime turns your voice into calendar events and to-dos and drops them where they belong, shared with the family. Hands full, brain full — just say it.
What you can add by voice
Calendar events — “Dentist for Leo next Tuesday at 3”
To-dos and reminders — “Remind me to RSVP for the birthday party”
Shopping and list items — “Add sunscreen and goldfish to the pool bag list”
Why not just use Gmail or Apple Calendar?
Because they weren’t built for the way school and family emails actually arrive. Gmail and Outlook only auto-add a narrow set of perfectly formatted confirmations — things like flights with hidden code built in — and they specifically ignore forwarded emails. A plain-text note from your kid’s teacher, a PTA newsletter with the bake-sale date in paragraph four, a PDF lunch menu? Those slip right through. Jaime reads the visible words like a person would, no matter who sent it or how messy it is. And instead of landing on your personal calendar alone, the event shows up on your shared family calendar so the whole household is in the loop with one forward.
What families forward to Jam every day
School emails, newsletters, and half-day or early-dismissal schedules
Sports and extracurricular schedules that change constantly
Birthday party invitations and RSVPs
Travel confirmations and itineraries
Doctor, dentist, and appointment reminders
Class party sign-ups and volunteer slots
One forward. The whole family sees it.
This is the part other email-to-calendar tools miss. Most of them drop the event onto your personal calendar, and you’re still the bottleneck. Jam is a shared family calendar first — so the moment an event lands, your partner, your co-parent, the babysitter, or the grandparents who help with pickup can all see it, based on the permissions you set. Less “did you see that email?” More everyone just knowing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I forward an email to my calendar?
With Jam, you forward the email to your Jam address and Jaime, Jam’s AI assistant, adds the events inside it to your shared family calendar automatically. It works from any email app — Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail — on your phone or computer. You get a notification when your events are ready to review.
Can Jam turn school emails into calendar events?
Yes. Jam is built for exactly the kind of long, detail-packed emails schools send. Forward a school newsletter, a class email, or a sports schedule and Jaime pulls out the dates and adds them to your calendar, even when the details are buried deep in the message.
Does Jam work with screenshots or photos of schedules?
Yes. You can send Jaime a screenshot or a photo — like a printed school calendar or a snapshot of a group text — and Jaime reads the image and turns it into calendar events.
Can I add events and to-dos to Jam by voice?
Yes. Tap the mic and speak, and Jaime turns what you say into calendar events, to-dos, and shopping list items on your shared family calendar. You can say things like “soccer moves to 5pm Thursday” or “add milk and eggs to the grocery list,” and Jaime files it where it belongs — no typing required.
Why don’t forwarded emails add to Google Calendar automatically?
Google Calendar and Outlook only auto-detect a narrow set of tightly formatted emails, like flight confirmations with special hidden code, and they ignore forwarded messages by design. That’s why a plain email from a teacher or a small business often never makes it onto your calendar. Jaime reads the visible text of any email you forward, so it works regardless of the sender or format.
Does the event get added for my whole family?
Yes. Jam is a shared family calendar, so a forwarded event can be visible to everyone you’ve shared with — your partner, co-parent, and caregivers — based on the permissions you choose. One forward keeps the whole family in sync.
