What they did

Developer Zafer-Liu built a skill in WorkBuddy that answers questions like "what McDonald's events are near me." The agent confirms the city, then uses McDonald's official connector to look up event, city, store, date and session in turn. Small scripts check prices against the store catalog and draw a cartoon map at the stores' official locations. The map shows only sessions confirmed as bookable and can add them to a calendar.

How it went

The author reports a live test on 2026-10-09 found 620 bookable sessions across 11 event types at 10 Beijing stores over 14 days.

Worth knowing

The author found the official instructions used different tool names than the live system, and prices came back in fen, hundredths of a yuan. The spots-left number was always 12, possibly a cap rather than a live count.

Try it yourself

Find [type of event, e.g. kids' birthday parties] at [venue or chain] in [your city] over the next [number] days. Use only official sources or tools, and include a session only if the source says it still has spots. Check each price against the official listing and flag any unit you're unsure of. Give me a list grouped by location, with date, time, price and spots left, nearest to [your area] first. Then make a calendar file of the sessions I pick. Don't book anything; if I ask you to book, list every detail and wait for my approval.

Swap the highlighted [parts] for your own details.
