Agenda Hero addresses the universal frustration of manually entering schedules into calendars. Whether it’s a school calendar in a PDF, an email agenda, or a printed sports schedule, Magic Chat uses conversational AI to transform these into structured events for Google, Apple, or Outlook calendars in seconds. “We’re on a mission to save billions of hours with AI—turning tedious retyping into time for joy, whether that’s on the field, in the classroom, or at the office,” said Caren Cioffi, co-founder and CEO of Agenda Hero. “You wouldn’t ask someone to retype a doc; schedules should be no different.”
The platform introduces powerful tools to streamline scheduling:
Magic Chat: Enables bulk edits to calendar events via conversational commands, such as “Change all away game emojis to a blue car.”
Magic Schedules: Offers shareable, brandable schedule pages that sync automatically with calendars, eliminating manual updates.
Agenda Hero for Organizations: Provides custom themes and branding for teams, ensuring alignment across departments.
“For years, I searched for a way to bring all of our community events into one calendar. Agenda Hero, created by a busy mom who understands the juggle, makes that dream real, and it’s so simple that anyone can use it,” said Stevie Klein, Family Engagement Coordinator, United Way of Greater Nashua.
With tens of thousands of early adopters, including parents, teachers, small businesses, and national organizations, Agenda Hero is gaining traction. The $5.6 million funding will drive AI innovation, expand calendar platform integrations, and scale adoption globally. “Some problems quietly frustrate billions of people every day. Getting schedules into a calendar is one of them. Agenda Hero fixes that—giving people back valuable time for what matters and freeing them from the mind-numbing task of manual entry,” said Dr. Manu Kumar, Founder of K9 Ventures.
The platform’s simplicity and effectiveness have earned praise from investors. “Agenda Hero unlocks the last and arguably hardest frontier of collaboration—effective calendars and schedules to help everyone get where they need to be,” said Kerry Bennett, Partner at Upfront Ventures. “Caren and the team are not only solving the universal problem of calendar chaos, but they’re doing so with a beautiful, easy, and magical experience.” Available for free, with premium plans starting at $30/year, Agenda Hero is accessible to all users.
