I seem to remember Lotus Agenda did that long time ago back in the PC era. Should that be a prior art?

Good catch. Per Wikipedia:

  Lotus Agenda is a "free-form" information manager: the information need not be
  structured at all before it is entered into the database. A phrase such as
  "See Wendy on Tuesday 3pm" can be entered as is without any pre-processing.

Since that software is from 1992, it would definitely be prior art.
