The personal assistant shift is the most interesting part of this. I've seen the same pattern with Claude Code: once you give it access to communication tools, coding becomes a fraction of what you use it for.
One thing we ran into building tools in this space (I work at Nylas on email/calendar infrastructure): depending on how Claude Code accesses your mail and calendar, things get fragile fast. Weird message formats, long threads, complex recurrence rules on calendar invites. We built a CLI (nylas) that gives agents structured email/calendar access from the terminal specifically because the ad-hoc access paths kept falling over for anything beyond simple reads.
Curious how you handle the email/calendar side in practice. Is Claude Code going through Apple Mail directly, or do you have MCP servers wired up for that?
