I had Claude audit my calendar for the past month to see where my time was going. It took about an hour to run — it scrolled through every calendar entry, categorizing them and compiling a report. The findings were revealing (and a little embarrassing): - A lot of standups - Many 1-on-1s - A suspicious amount of podcast recordings It flagged days where I had more than 10-15 events as "high-density days" that might need restructuring. What's powerful here is that Claude didn't just passively report — it asked follow-up questions about my priorities to help me understand if my calendar aligned with my goals. This is what agentic AI looks like: not just answering questions, but actively investigating and helping you think.
