Well hello, reporters. I’ve had Fantastical on my computer for quite a while. To the point that I didn’t remember why I had it, to be honest. But last week, Jeremy Caplan released a slew of calendar tools on his famous Wonder Tools blog, and voila!
As much as I love Fantastical, I really wish "Natural Language" was more clearly defined. My language was apparently not natural enough... I had to learn how to prompt Fantastical + Cardhop's natural language processor, which seems to defeat the point lol.
I find it understands a normal sentence like "Create a coffee meeting at 2pm Thursday at TK place with TK person to catch up on TK" and it puts all that into the event and even can invite that person if they're in my address book, and can even put the location of the place in the calendar event if it's a place google maps has indexed.
