A new Asana report finds leaders use far more AI agents than their teams, while workers lose time juggling them. My take on why the two sides see agents so differently, and why leaders should measure finished work rather than agent activity.
Faster Code, Same Release Date: What Gives?
Engineering leaders say AI agents write code much faster, yet their release cycles are no faster than before. Typing was never the bottleneck: here’s where the time really goes, and what I’d change about review and verification.
Of Banks and AI Agents: Lock the Window, Build a Door
JPMorgan and Schwab are blocking outside AI agents from client accounts. They’re right to, but the interesting part is what Schwab offers instead, and why every CTO should give agents a proper front door (as I did for Calendrz).
Trust Is a Feature: Verification Lessons From Building the Calendrz Mobile Backend
LinkedIn is testing colleague vouching and the EU is pushing AI watermarks: platforms are being asked to prove things. Here’s how the same idea shaped the Calendrz mobile backend, from PKCE and Universal Links to refresh-token reuse detection.
61% of people are doing two jobs. Their calendars still think they have one.
Korn Ferry’s Workforce 2026 report says 61% of workers now do the job of more than one role. Here’s why I think the trend sticks, and the calendar problem it creates that almost nobody is talking about.

LinkedIn is replacing classic filter-based job search with AI search. On the API side of Calendrz, AI clients kept guessing parameter names. Here’s how strict validation plus helpful error messages fixed it.
Your AI Agent Will Book the Meeting. Will It Know When You’re Free?
Meta and Sierra’s Personal Agent Protocol, Google’s Gemini agent and Microsoft’s Work IQ all point the same way: agents will negotiate our time. Here’s why accurate, merged calendar data is the part that decides whether they get it right.
The opposite of AI slop: the agent that reads our production logs every night
While LinkedIn fights AI slop, an AI agent has quietly opened 42 merged fix PRs at Calendrz by reading production logs at 3 a.m. Here’s how it avoids producing slop of its own.
AI agents are joining your meetings. Do they know when you’re actually free?
Agents are moving into meetings and calendars. Here’s what six months of running an MCP server and a scheduling agent taught me about letting AI book your time.
The return-to-office fight is really a calendar problem
Three-day mandates, four-day weeks, deferred rollouts: whichever policy wins, it plays out in a calendar that rarely tells the truth about when you’re free.
