Last updated 2026-02-25
There are two ways to add events to your Park Bench calendar: the add event form on the home screen, or the chat assistant.
Using the add event form
- On the Home tab, tap the + button
- A form slides up from the bottom
- Fill in the event details:
- Title — What's the event? (required)
- Date — When is it?
- Start time and End time — Or toggle "All day"
- Location — Where is it? (optional)
- Assignee — Which family member is this for? (optional)
- Recurrence — Make it repeat weekly, monthly, etc. (optional)
- Tap Add event
The event appears immediately on your calendar and syncs to Google Calendar if connected.
Using the chat assistant
You can also type naturally in the Chat tab:
- "Add Emma's dentist appointment Thursday at 3pm"
- "Soccer practice every Tuesday at 4"
- "Birthday party at Brooklyn Bridge Park Saturday 2-5pm"
The assistant creates the event and confirms the details.
Tips
- If you skip the time, the event will be created as an all-day event
- Events default to today's date if you don't specify a date
- You can assign events to specific children or family members
