Have your AI build you a custom calendar

Tell your AI assistant what you like, where you can get to and when you're free. It builds a calendar of matching Dubai & the UAE events that you subscribe to once in Google, Apple or Outlook. New events that match show up on their own.

For example: Friday brunch jazz in Downtown, AI meetups, free beach yoga.

How to do it

Connect Dubai & UAE Events to your assistant (one time). It needs an app that can add an MCP connector, such as Claude or ChatGPT.
https://dubai.whatsupin.ai/mcp
In Claude: Add to Claude opens the Add custom connector box with “Dubai & UAE Events” and the link filled in; check them, leave the sign-in fields empty, press Continue. Other apps: setup guide.
Copy the prompt below into a new chat and send it. Fill in the “What I want” line, or leave it and take the short quiz.
Check the sample it shows you and ask for changes (“fewer networking events”, “add Davis”).
Subscribe. Your assistant gives you a Google Calendar link, an Apple/Outlook link, and a link that opens the calendar on Dubai & UAE Events.

The prompt

Use the Dubai & UAE Events tools to build me a custom Dubai & the UAE events calendar that I can subscribe to and that keeps itself up to date.

What I want: [describe it here, e.g. Friday brunch jazz in Downtown, AI meetups, free beach yoga; or leave this as is and get a quick quiz]

If I've described what I want, build from that, and only ask about something important that's missing (like area or which days). If I haven't, offer me two ways to start: describe it in a sentence (for example "Friday brunch jazz in Downtown, AI meetups, free beach yoga"), or a quick quiz. For the quiz, ask a few questions at a time and skip anything I've already answered:
1. What do I like doing? (hobbies, kinds of events, scenes, e.g. "salsa", "AI meetups", "trail runs", "comedy")
2. Where can I realistically get to? (Dubai only, a neighborhood or city, parts of Dubai & the UAE)
3. When am I free? (weekday evenings, weekends, mornings, late nights)
4. Free events only, or is paid fine?
5. A few picks a week, or everything that matches?
6. Anything to leave out?
7. Include events for kids or teens?

Then:
- Try a few search_events calls to see what my interests actually match, and tell me what you find.
- Call create_custom_calendar with a short name and one interest per distinct thing I like (each with its own area/days/times/free settings). Use exclude terms to cut noise.
- Show me the sample it returns and the weekly count. If it's too busy or misses things, adjust and call it again.
- When I'm happy, give me the Google Calendar and Apple/Outlook subscribe links, and tell me it refreshes on its own and that I can come back to change it.

Apps that support MCP prompts (such as Claude Desktop) also list this as “Have your AI create a custom calendar for you”.

After you subscribe

The calendar refreshes itself every few hours (Google can take up to a day), so new matching events appear without you doing anything.
Opening the Dubai & UAE Events link keeps the calendar in this browser's ★ Saved tab, where you can switch to it, subscribe again, copy the link or remove it.
To change it, use Edit with your AI on that tab: it copies a prompt with the calendar's current settings for your assistant to adjust.

Privacy

Your answers stay in your chat. Dubai & UAE Events only receives the filters your assistant builds, and doesn't store them: they live in the calendar link itself. Anyone you share the link with can see its interests. Privacy policy.
