Make calendar entry from an event flyer

loupe ●●●

Grab a screenshot of an event flyer, OCR the image, and extract structured event details via a local LLM. Vision without a vision model — for more complex designs, pass the image to a multimodal model directly.

$ screencapture -i event.png && loupe ocr event.png | \ llm -m apple "extract event details" \ --schema '{"type":"object","properties":{"title":{"type":"string"}, "date":{"type":"string"},"time":{"type":"string"}, "venue":{"type":"string"},"location":{"type":"string"}}, "required":["title","date","time","location"]}'

{"title":"Brooklyn Synth Meetup", "date":"Saturday, July 12, 2026", "time":"7:00 PM - 10:00 PM", "venue":"The Bell House", "location":"149 7th St, Brooklyn, NY 11215"}

Requires: screencapture (macOS), loupe, llm
