Feeling sick, this user called their AI assistant dot to run their calendar for the day

A user shared a real-world use of their AI assistant dot: while sick in bed, they simply called it and said, "I'm not feeling great, I'm gonna lay low today. Can you coordinate my calendar, make sure everyone has what they need from me, and flag anything super urgent?"
It's a glimpse of the "passive delegation" model for personal AI assistants — no typing, no prompts, just handing off vague, verbal tasks and letting the agent handle cross-calendar coordination and triage.
