This weekend I build ⌘-k for Google Calendar

Hey hey!<p>This weekend I hacked together a quick command bar for Google Calendar. There are so many &quot;Superhuman for Calendar&quot; startups, but I don&#x27;t really care about anything except the ⌘-k bar, so I just built a really good implementation myself.<p>It&#x27;s already a way better Command Bar than most existing command bars from Superhuman or Raycast because it uses a LLM to do some of the parsing.<p>I did the overlay using a Chrome extension [1]. So I called it &quot;Lui&quot; (Language User Interface) and I&#x27;m going to make it work for more sites like Webflow, Mixpanel, Typeform and even Jira. What Lui&#x27;s do you want to see?<p>My ambition is to make the web as wonderful to use as the terminal (once you&#x27;ve learned it, of course). But there&#x27;s a reason GUI killed DOS, it&#x27;s just super unforgiving. I think my Lui fixes that problem.<p>Chrome has yet to approve my app so you can&#x27;t download it yet but if you put in your email I&#x27;ll send you the `dist` so you can load it unpacked. I&#x27;m also consider open-sourcing some of it if people are interested, since I can&#x27;t possibly build all the Lui&#x27;s myself so other people should.<p>[1] Inspired by Alyssa X&#x27;s Omni bar (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;alyssaxuu&#x2F;omni" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;alyssaxuu&#x2F;omni</a>)
