The screenshot above shows CalPal in action. The user asks for their schedule,
and the AI assistant, powered by `dartantic_ai`, performs a multi-step
tool-calling sequence
- it calls the `get-current-date-time` tool to understand the context of
"today".
- it uses that date to call the `google_calendar_find_event` tool to fetch the
schedule.

CalPal does this in a single request-response because Dartantic supports
multi-turn tool calling aka "Agent Mode". The right-hand pane shows the tools
the agent is working with and the messages passing through the agent during the
process.

The second prompt is just for fun. I uploaded a screenshot of the schedule for
my local pool and asked it to add a particular swimming session to my calendar.
Which it did. And now I'm late for it as I write this. : )
