What if one doesn't use any calendar product? I usually agree with my business partners on a date/time by voice, then more often than not they create a GC event (probably to mark it in their agenda) and I get an email that I don't answer. They know I'll be there. I guess that x.ai is valuable if people don't talk each other and let it decide the time of the meeting but it probably works only if one annotates all his/her life in a calendar.

Amy (The AI Assistant) remember all the meetings she set up for you (and she'll remind you if needed) - so even if you did not have a calendar, she would avoid conflicts (unless you hide things from her).
We have this fantasy (delusion perhaps) of us becoming arbiters of time. You don't need a calendar, because Amy will help manage your time. One step at a time though and the problem is hard enough as is, before we print "Arbiter of Time" t-shirts.
