On the first run, read calendar and mail for dates you already have so we are not starting from scratch.\nWhen you find an occasion (anniversary, birthday), tell me before you hunt for a gift. You may follow photo links in mail and lay out a book or a print.

This is a different seat.\n\nHe asked Gift Bot to track who needed a present, when, and what, then help order. The Bot started a living list and a routine named Upcoming gifts check. Calendar already had Maggie, and his dad's birthday around late October. Then it found the wedding anniversary a month out, followed a Gmail link to the wedding photos, handpicked 16, and laid out a physical book. He says it looks really good. He still has to order it.\n\nPosted on X, Aug 27, 2026.
