Do you really need the agents, skills and them having access to your calendar, plus multiple back and forth, to create an email about scheduling something - and anyway you will have to check it manually?

Yes because it's not a single calendar, and I sometimes need to be reminded of potential plans (not saved on a calendar), history with that specific person ("oh I already made a demo to this person 2 years ago and from my notes, it seems that I didn't get a lot of feedback, perhaps prioritize someone else?"), and other context. I offer the LLM context, and I in return get a distilled context from which it's easier to make decisions.

Writing important emails used to be a 1-2 hour occasion, nowadays only 15 minutes, but surely not 10 seconds.
