Fill three dead hours in Manhattan with a route matched to my mood

Stuck in Manhattan with three hours to fill after a drop-off, Eric planned the afternoon with Jarvis by voice while driving. He gave it a mood instead of a destination — a break from technology, maybe by looking at art about technology — and it weighed a museum, galleries and an observation deck, then came back with a walking route through Chelsea galleries. At the end of the call he told it to put the route in his calendar, and it did.

How it works

  1. Eric tells Jarvis he has three hours and wants a break from technology, ideally art about technology
  2. Jarvis weighs a museum, several galleries and an observation deck
  3. Returns a walking route: Brice Marden at Gagosian, Lee Bul at Hauser & Wirth, Deana Lawson and Jordan Wolfson at two other Chelsea Gagosian locations
  4. Eric says put it in my calendar
  5. Jarvis adds it

Why it’s worth knowing

The brief he gave it was a mood, not a place: a break from technology by looking at art about technology. The agent treated that as a real constraint and built the afternoon around it.
