Siri just read my email and identified an appointment...

Siri just read my email and identified an appointment... and asked me if I wanted her to add it to my calendar!

I saw that message when I opened Mail, and don't recall that ever happening before. I clicked "Yes" and the Electrician appointment was instantly added to my Calendar. I know this capability was promised as part of Apple Intelligence long ago, but this is the first time I've seen it, and it's on Sequoia (I haven't loaded any OS 26 betas on my gear). Did this just get slipped into 15.5? Has anyone else noticed this happening?

That isn't anything new. It's called "Siri Suggestions" and has been there since iOS 9 (2015) and macOS 10.12 Sierra (2016).

Use Siri Suggestions in Calendar on Mac

In Calendar on your Mac, turn Siri Suggestions on or off, and add or remove events found in apps.

Hmmm. Okay, thanks @BigBlur; I can't figure out why this is the first time I've seen it in 9 years, I hadn't changed any configurations lately... 🤔

... which is why I have Siri turned OFF, along with Apple AI.
And will not be turning them on.

Yet another reason why I wrote my own calendar application.
;JOOP!
P.S.: if you are not creative, there is a calendar for you in Thunderbird (Mozilla).
