Great idea. There's a lot of calendar apps out there, but the data feeds powering them are the same old crap. The concept of an agent doing stuff with the app feels like 60's-ish virtual assistant futurism.

I wonder how usable an "intelligent" autonomous agent putting things on a calendar would be. (That is, to extend the generation of a calendar feed with more clever bits.) Say there was a weather component that would only schedule sunsets when the weather would be conducive for photography.




I'm actively working on building this actually - starting with the normal weather side of calendar integration (appointment locations vs. weather conditions, for example), but also eventually including beautiful sunset predicting/timing. I'd be interested in collaborating on some of these...email me if you want to explore this. :)


Definitely, I'll send an email over. I've spent a lot of time mulling over these type of agents, would be nice to do something practical based on it.
