Cross-app meeting workflow booked the event in the wrong time zone

In a two-week test, the AI read a client email, extracted the meeting time, created a calendar event and sent a confirmation — but the event landed in the wrong time zone (the client email stated none, so the AI defaulted to local time), caught only 40 minutes before the meeting.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

Extracted meeting time from client email, Created calendar event, Sent confirmation email, Event created in the wrong time zone; caught 40 min before the meeting

Why it’s worth knowing

A full email-to-calendar-to-confirmation chain failed on one unstated detail: the time zone.
