A conference agenda, a fixtures page or a class timetable usually means typing ten events into your calendar by hand. NanoEvent can read the whole block in one go. It finds each event and shows you a preview. Then you export only the ones you want. I would still read every preview before adding it. An AI is reading the dates, and in a long schedule one wrong day is easy to miss.

These steps follow the NanoEvent page as of November 2026. It is free, with no trial, no subscription and no account. It works in Chrome and on Chromebooks.

Select the schedule as text

This works best when the schedule is real text on a page, such as an agenda, an event listing or meeting notes.

  1. Add NanoEvent to Chrome.
  2. Open the page and highlight the whole schedule, from the first event to the last. Include the heading if it shows the date or the venue.
  3. Right-click the selection and choose the NanoEvent item.
  4. NanoEvent reads the title, date, time and location. When the selection holds several events, it picks them all up together.

This works on any website, not just in your inbox.

Crop it when the schedule is an image

Many timetables are posted as a picture. Highlighting text will not catch those.

  1. Right-click the image and choose the NanoEvent item.
  2. If the schedule is only part of a page, or sits in a layout you can’t select cleanly, use the screenshot crop instead. Drag over just the schedule.
  3. Keep the crop tight. Leaving out unrelated boxes and banners gives it less to misread.

Check each event and keep what you need

  1. Go through the preview one event at a time. Check the date, the start time and the location.
  2. If something is wrong, type the fix in plain words, for example “move to Friday at 4 PM”. NanoEvent updates the event.
  3. Skip the sessions you won’t attend. Only the ones you pick get exported.
  4. Export the rest to Google Calendar. Outlook on the web is also an option, and so is a .ics file for any other calendar app.

A few habits help with long schedules. Check the year if the page leaves it out. Compare the first and last events against the page, since mistakes tend to show up at the edges. If a session has no time listed, decide what you want in your calendar before you export it.

What gets sent, and when to skip it

Only the text or image you select is sent to an AI service to read the event details. Nothing else on the page is collected. That is another reason to select only the schedule and not the whole page.

It also means NanoEvent is the wrong tool for a schedule you are not allowed to share outside your organisation, such as an internal staff rota. Type those events in by hand. The same goes for one class that repeats every week all term. Making that a single repeating event in your calendar is quicker than extracting it.

For a one-off booking email or a single flyer, the same right-click works. For a page full of dates, it saves you the most typing.
