> you can easily share a read-only version of, say, your work calendar with your personal account so that you can have them combined in the morning.

If only it was that easy! I'm not allowed to share content to or from my work calendar for security reasons. The school and camp calendars are a mix of PDFs and hand-written websites -- a neighbor wrote a scraper to extract the information from a few of them into a caldav at one point but it ended up being even flakier than copying the relevant bits by hand. There's no technical barrier to consolidating my personal calendar with the various family / neighborhood calendars but in practice I have to hide most of the other calendars because the volume of irrelevant events is just too large, so I end up just copying over the relevant events to a personal calendar.

I think this problem is one that AI could actually help with- simply snap a photo of my school calendar and ask the ai to add the important items to my personal calendar.

But I don't need the AI to do this everyday, just when i get a new calendar.

It honestly tempting to point a camera at my workstation so AI can "watch over my shoulder" while I'm working on systems that are pointlessly excessively locked down.

I don't do, but it is tempting, and I bet people will do it.

Too much security makes people seek insecure workarounds...

Or to quote Star Wars, “The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers”.

Many years ago I watched someone marched out of the room in handcuffs by military police for plugging a USB thumb drive in the wrong computer.

My current situation isn't anywhere near that strict, and I agree that many security postures are dumb and overbearing, like unnecessarily frequent password rotation. But honestly, preventing employees from sharing company documents with random third parties doesn't seem all that unreasonable.

So Clawdbot has access to your work calendar that’s supposed to be secure ?

No, that's why I said "This doesn't look like a suitable solution for me, but I understand the need."
