Smart Import
Bring school, sports, rehearsal, and activity schedules into Calendar with review-first drafts.

Smart Scan
Turn pantry and fridge photos into inventory updates or shopping-list drafts.
Smart Recipe
Convert recipe cards, screenshots, rough notes, or prompts into structured household recipes.
Smart Plan
Generate meal suggestions for the next few days with reusable prompts and review before save.

Smart Import
Smart Import turns one or more photos or PDFs into editable calendar drafts. It is especially helpful for the way families actually receive schedules: school handouts, sports season sheets, rehearsal calendars, camp schedules, club PDFs, tournament brackets, and volunteer rosters.
- Choose Take Photo, Choose Photos, or Choose Files.
- Import images and PDFs, with PDFs limited to 5 pages in the current version.
- Combine multiple screenshots, pages, or files into one import when the schedule spans more than one source.
- Tell Berg how you want titles, notes, and defaults to be structured.
- Review, edit, keep, or discard draft events before anything reaches the calendar.
Reusable Prompts
Berg lets admins save repeatable prompt templates for the formats their household sees often.
- Save instructions like how team names, locations, or note fields should be written.
- Reuse the same prompt for recurring school schedules, sports leagues, rehearsal calendars, or activity handouts.
- Keep prompts shared at the household level so admins can build on the same system over time.
Why this matters
The real time-saver is not just reading one document. It is turning the formats your family sees every season or semester into something Berg can process consistently again and again.
Smart Scan
Smart Scan helps admins on Family turn pantry, fridge, freezer, and shelf photos into structured inventory updates or shopping lists.
- Use one or more photos or PDFs to capture what is already on hand.
- Choose whether to replace inventory, merge and update inventory, or create a shopping list.
- Add one-off instructions such as ignoring spices or focusing on low-stock items.
- Review every suggested item before saving or sending it to a list.
Smart Recipe
Smart Recipe helps admins on Family turn recipe cards, cookbook pages, meal photos, PDFs, copied text, and plain-language prompts into recipe drafts.
- Import written recipes from one or more photos, scans, or PDFs.
- Turn loose notes or ingredient lists into a structured recipe.
- Generate recipe ideas from a short prompt and keep only the ones you want.
- Reuse saved prompt templates for a preferred household recipe style.
Smart Plan
Smart Plan helps admins on Family create meal suggestions for the next few days without giving up control of the final plan.
- Choose a planning window from 1 to 7 days.
- Use a saved prompt or a one-off instruction like "kid-friendly weeknight dinners" or "use freezer staples first."
- Review and edit each suggested meal entry before saving.
