Snapped a photo of an event poster? Google Photos could soon add it to your calendar

Code discovered in Google Photos v8.0 reveals a feature under development that leverages Ask Photos to convert photos of event posters into calendar entries. The tool can extract event name, date, time, and description from poster images and integrate them with the user's default calendar app. The feature requests calendar access through Android's standard confirmation flow. Early testing shows it still has accuracy issues, such as incorrectly assuming US time zones.
