Extract Events Details

This recipe demonstrates how to use the outlines library to extract structured event details from a text message. We will extract the title, location, and start date and time from messages like the following:

Hello Kitty, my grandmother will be here, I think it's better to postpone
our appointment to review math lessons to next Monday at 2pm at the same
place, 3 avenue des tanneurs, one hour will be enough see you 😘

Let see how to extract the event details from the message with the MLX library dedicated to Apple Silicon processor (M series).

The output will be:

Today: Saturday 16 November 2024 and it's 10:55

and the extracted event information will be:

{
  "title":"Math Review",
  "location":"3 avenue des tanneurs",
  "start":"2024-11-22T14:00:00Z"
}

To find out more about this use case, we recommend the project developped by Joseph Rudoler the ICS Generator
