Day 2: Meet Your AI Assistant - Research and Calendar Integration
Put Sidekick to work with real tasks. Research contacts, prep for meetings, and connect your calendar—all through natural conversation.
Day 2 challenge
Goal: show value with real productivity tasksTheme: foundation week - agent productivity in actionTime investment: ~10 minutes
Welcome to Day 2! Yesterday you explored Sidekick’s interface and search
capabilities. Today you’ll get Sidekick to work on real productivity
tasks—researching contacts for meetings, connecting your Google Calendar, and
experiencing how agents handle actual work scenarios.Building on yesterday’s foundation, you’ll see how agent capabilities translate
into immediate productivity gains.
Let’s start with a classic scenario: you have a meeting with someone, and you
want to be prepared. We’ll use Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, as our example.Start a new conversation with Sidekick and try this prompt:
Copy
Ask AI
I am meeting with Sam Altman from OpenAI tomorrow.Can you research him and prepare some notes for me?
Watch how Sidekick:
Searches for current information about Sam Altman (building on yesterday’s web
search learning)
Organizes findings into actionable meeting notes
Provides context that’s actually useful for conversation
Includes recent developments and OpenAI updates
Agent learning moment: notice how Sidekick structures information for
practical use, not just information dump. This is the difference between
search and intelligence.
With your calendar connected, let’s schedule that meeting with Sam Altman:
Copy
Ask AI
Create an event tomorrow at 2pm PT for my meeting with Sam Altman.Title it "Meeting with Sam Altman - OpenAI Discussion" and add the research notes you prepared as the description.Since we don't have Sam's actual email, please use [YOUR_EMAIL_HERE] as a placeholder for the attendee.
Building on yesterday’s exploration, you’ve now experienced practical agent
productivity:Applied intelligence - Sidekick didn’t just search—it prepared actionable
meeting notes with current information about Sam Altman and OpenAIReal integration - Connected to your actual tools (Google Calendar)Seamless action - Created the calendar event with research included, not
just provide suggestionsNatural workflow - All through conversation, no forms or complex interfacesCurrent information - Used web search (from yesterday’s learning) to get the
latest information about your contact
Unlike yesterday’s exploratory interactions, today you’ve seen how Sidekick
connects multiple capabilities—research, calendar integration, and intelligent
action—into seamless workflows that mirror how you actually work.
What did you learn about my work style and preferences from our interactions yesterday and today?
This begins training Sidekick to understand your specific needs and
communication style across multiple sessions.Time to complete: ~10 minutesSkills learned: practical agent research, calendar integration, workflow
automation, real-world task delegationNext day 3 - Morning stand-up automation with calendar intelligence
Remember you’re not just using a tool—you’re training an assistant. Every
interaction teaches Sidekick more about how you work, building on the
foundation from Day 1.
