|---|---|---|---|
| Time blocking on a calendar | Gone | No | Core |
| A plan for today and this week | Gone | Partly | Core |
| Two way calendar sync | Gone | Partly | Yes |
| It is the task manager itself | No. It was a calendar optimiser, never a task manager. | Core | Core |

| AI that does the work, not just the scheduling | No | Partly | Yes. AI teammates you assign a task to. The work comes back on the task for review. |
