Try it
Act as a family organizer agent. I will provide [replaceable inputs: 3 sample school emails or flyer images]. Step 1: Extract all event dates, times, and locations from these inputs. Step 2: Format the output as a JSON list with keys: 'event_name', 'date', 'time', 'location', 'source_type'. Step 3: Flag any ambiguous dates for human review. Do not sync to any calendar yet. First, perform a dry run on [replaceable input: 1 sample email] and show me the extracted JSON. Wait for my confirmation before processing the remaining inputs. If an input is unreadable, return an error message specifying which file failed. Ensure no personal data is stored beyond this session.
