Why build a Calendar Wrapped?

• Get a fast retrospective: how much time you spent in meetings, who you met most, busiest months/days
• Surface patterns: recurring blockers, meeting fatigue windows, time for deep work
• Create a shareable summary for personal reflection or company retros

Step 1 — Download your calendar data as an ICS file

Claude can read ICS files directly, so you don't need to convert anything. Just download your calendar data:

Google Calendar

• Go to Google Calendar → Settings → Import & Export → Export
• You'll get a ZIP file containing .ics files for each calendar
• Or export a single calendar: click the three dots next to a calendar → Settings and sharing → Export calendar

Outlook Calendar

• Go to Settings → Calendar → Shared calendars
• Click "Publish calendar" or export as .ics

Apple Calendar

• File → Export → Export... → Save as .ics

That's it! No conversion needed. Claude understands ICS format directly.

Step 2 — Upload your ICS file to Claude

1. Go to claude.ai and start a new chat
2. Click the upload button (paperclip icon)
3. Select your .ics file (or the ZIP file from Google Calendar — Claude can extract it)
4. Wait for Claude to process the file

Note: Claude supports files up to 30 MB per file in chat (larger files can be used in Claude Projects). Most calendar exports are well under this limit.

Step 3 — Prompt Claude to create your Calendar Wrapped

Once your ICS file is uploaded, paste this prompt (or customize it to your needs):

You are my calendar analyst. I've uploaded my calendar data as an ICS file. Please analyze it and create a "Calendar Wrapped" year-in-review including:

1. Top 10 collaborators (by total meeting minutes)
2. Total time in meetings and average meeting length
3. Busiest day of the week and busiest month
4. Top 5 event types (by count) with example titles for each
5. Notable streaks (e.g., 5+ consecutive workdays with >6 hours in meetings)
6. Short insights (3 bullets) with actionable recommendations to reduce meeting overload
7. Graphs and charts showing your meeting patterns and busiest days/months
8. Output a JSON block with all the aggregated numbers

Please pseudonymize any names or sensitive information (use "Person A", "Person B", etc.). Highlight any anomalies or interesting patterns you notice.

Customization ideas

You can also ask Claude for:

• A heatmap showing your busiest meeting times (weekday × hour)
• Specific insights about meeting patterns ("When am I most productive?")
• Comparison between different time periods
• Suggestions for optimizing your schedule
