Local event roundup
Updated
Problem it solves
Pulls together this week’s local events for a newsletter or staff meeting.
Best tool
- ChatGPT (free chat)
- Claude (free chat)
- Gemini (free chat)
- Copilot (free chat)
The free chat is enough for one draft. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and the free Microsoft Copilot chat can each do this. A paid plan only helps if you hit a usage limit. Copilot inside Word, Excel, or Outlook is a separate paid Microsoft 365 feature. You do not need it to try this once.
Copy-paste prompt
Turn this list into a short roundup for [a newsletter / a staff meeting]. Keep every date, time, and place as written. Do not add an event: [paste the events]
Replace every [bracket]. If you cannot fill one, delete that line.
Example output
A usable draft is a short list with the date, time, place, and one line on why it matters, using only events you pasted.
Tips
- The templates page describes this job. The bot is not live.
- If you do not have the events, do not ask the chat to invent a local calendar. Paste a list you checked.
Time saved
Estimate: formatting a list you already verified is a few minutes. Finding and checking events is separate and is not included.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt. Copy the prompt on this page into a free chat.
- Fill every bracket. Replace each [bracket] with a fact from your own notes. If you cannot fill one, delete that line instead of guessing.
- Edit before you use it. Read every date and address against your source list.
