The calendar aggregation example keeps coming up, and I think it illustrates the real divide in how people think about these tools. The skeptics are right that you shouldn't trust a non-deterministic system to never miss a school event. But the proponents aren't really asking for that — they want a morning briefing that saves them from opening four apps, not a replacement for the calendar itself. The sweet spot for agent-based tools right now is read-heavy, write-light workflows. Aggregating and summarizing information across sources? Great. Autonomously rescheduling your meetings? Probably not yet. The security concerns about granting calendar access are valid though — the permission model needs to be way more granular than "full access to everything."
