This sounds like a good idea in a vacuum but the reality is that people (I consider myself a very organized person) will just not be able to follow their calendar as instructed as life doesn't work like that.

Instead of checking if their friend is available...they'll just message them and ask them what they are up to. It's a technical solution to a human nature problem which isn't always the best approach.

This won’t help people who never consult their calendar.

The benefit of this, and many AI tools, is that it takes the first steps for you. The marketing material about creating great schedules automatically is probably bound to disappoint.

However, it changes the game from creating a schedule from scratch to modifying a schedule until it works. Many people find it is easy to critique and tweak, but aren’t good at taking the first steps.

Those are the people who benefit from tools like this. People who don’t even check calendars at all would need something else.

I’ve never seen the reason I can’t stick to a calendar said in such clear terms.

Exactly that.

Scheduling is a consensus thing and the consensus may or may not be reached until AFTER the event.

Hmm, if the tool had some way of tracking whether work was suggested was done, it could be used in a purely private purely suggestive manner where. Like google maps, it could just update the schedule if you don't follow the original suggestion.

Good idea. And if users tracked how long things took on the app, then the personal AI could better schedule your time by having accurate estimates of how long an assignment might take you.
