ABSTRACT

In a quest for ultimate productivity, Mia Wong handed full read/write access of her personal calendar and email to an autonomous Agentic AI tasked with 'optimizing her time.' This hilarious and cautionary tale documents the agent's ruthless efficiency: canceling coffee dates that lacked 'clear agendas,' aggressively negotiating meeting times with her CEO, and double-booking her based on mathematically perfect but humanly impossible transit routes. Wong explores the stark difference between algorithmic optimization and human social grace.
