I mean, that's the point, right? The only way they can offer those "experiences" is to process your data. We need to get off the teat of convenience and learn to use the tools and want to put a little effort into things again. We've relied on them to just feed us the information in the way we want it for so long, we've forgotten how it got there originally. We can do it. It's okay to take 5 minutes and put that info into Calendar. Learn how to formulate the searches to get your information, and alternatives to make sure you've covered your bases. READ THE BOOK/BLOG/EMAIL YOUR DAMN SELF and write a summary in your own words.
Tbh this specific calendar problem was already solved, you could send a calendar invite for example with flight tickets, just that no one does that.
It doesn't require smart features, just everyone to work together minimally to save everyone's time
Tech Giants working together? In this economy?
Do you know how much market share they'd have to actually share with using standardized systems to share information? Blasphemy.
