The Future of AI-Powered Automated Meeting Scheduling Transcript: Speaker 1 The information it gathers from the people who have it by talking to their AI agents and I never have to bother them. We never have to set up a meeting. It’s able to do these road tasks for us, right? This was actually a future that I was exposed to a decade earlier. I spoke at an event with the CEO of an automated meeting scheduling company called x.ai. And I remember him telling me this is the future. When you have an AI tool that can talk to another person’s AI tool to figure out logistical things on your behalf so that you’re never interrupted. I think that’s where the big AI impact is going to come. Now, this does not automate your main work. What it does is it automates a way to stuff that gets in the way of your main work. Why is that significant? Because it will immensely increase the amount of your main work you’re able to get done. If you’re not context switching once every five minutes, which is the average time the average knowledge worker spins between email or instant messenger checks. If you’re not doing that anymore, you know how much you’re going to get done? You know how much if you can just do something until you’re done and then the AI agents on your computer says, okay, we got the stuff for you for the next thing you need to work on. Here you go. And you have to have no overhead communicating or collaborating and trying to figure out what to do next. You can just execute. You know how much you’re going to get done? I would say probably three to four X more of the meaningful output that you produce in your job will be produced (Time 1:04:19)
