How I Let 3 AI Agents Plan My Week And What I Learned About Productivity, Chaos, and Letting Go

My calendar was in chaos. Between meetings, errands, meal prep, and trying to squeeze in some downtime, I felt like I was constantly behind. So I did something drastic: I handed my week over to three AI assistants. No, not one but three. Each with its quirks, specialties, and promises of productivity magic.

This wasn’t a gimmick. I genuinely wanted to know if artificial intelligence could ease the mental load of planning and decision-making. What happened? Some pleasant surprises, a few frustrations, and a glimpse into what life might look like when machines do the scheduling.

Meet the Agents

1. Google Gemini: My all-purpose AI assistant. I used it to structure my daily to-dos, summarise emails, and suggest work-life priorities. Its integration with Gmail, Docs, and Calendar made it a strong co-pilot. What stood out most? It could also set alarms and reminders, nudging me to drink water, attend meetings, or start a workout, without me having to check a to-do list.
   
2. Reclaim.ai: A smart calendar tool that automatically blocks time for tasks, habits, and meetings. Think of it as a time-blocking ninja that quietly optimises your day in the background.
   
3. Motion: An AI scheduler that dynamically planned my week based on deadlines and availability. It reorganised tasks on the fly when things changed.
   

I gave each AI a brief: help me manage my work and personal life, stay productive, and make space for rest. They got access to my calendar, email, and task lists.

AI Tools I Used to Plan My Week

1. Google Gemini

What it is:
A general-purpose AI assistant built into Google Workspace (Docs, Gmail, Calendar, Android). Gemini Advanced is available via Google One AI Premium Plan.

What it does best:

• Summarises your emails and documents
  
• Suggests daily to-dos
  
• Sets alarms and reminders
  
• Helps draft content and replies
  
• Works across Gmail, Docs, Calendar, and mobile
  

How to use it:

• Open Gmail or Google Docs and click the “Help me write” or Gemini side panel
  
• Ask it to draft your day plan or summarise unread emails
  
• On Android, say: “Hey Google, ask Gemini to set a reminder for 2 PM”
  
• Use it to create morning checklists or suggest calendar blocks
  

2. Reclaim. Ai

What it is:
A smart calendar automation tool that syncs with Google Calendar to block time for tasks, routines, meetings, and habits.

What it does best:

• Time-blocking your calendar automatically
  
• Protecting focus time
  
• Scheduling routines like “daily planning” or “email check”
  
• Rescheduling around new events
  

How to use it:

• Sign up at reclaim.ai and connect your Google Calendar
  
• Add your regular habits (e.g., “30 mins writing”, “lunch at 1 PM”)
  
• Create tasks with deadlines, and Reclaim finds time for them
  
• Let it auto-reschedule when conflicts arise
  

3. Motion

What it is:
An AI-powered scheduling assistant that builds and adjusts your daily plan based on tasks, availability, and urgency.

What it does best:

• Re-prioritising tasks in real-time
  
• Creating structured daily schedules
  
• Managing project deadlines
  
• Reducing scheduling anxiety by “thinking” for you
  

How to use it:

• Sign up at usemotion.com
  
• Create or import tasks from your to-do list
  
• Set task durations and deadlines
  
• Motion auto-generates your schedule and reshuffles it as new events pop up

Day-by-Day Highlights

Monday:
Gemini offered a to-do list prioritised by urgency and recent email threads. It even suggested I block off 90 minutes for deep work based on a project deadline. Reclaim picked that up and created a protected focus block. Meanwhile, Motion spotted a calendar gap and shifted a less urgent task to Friday. Surprisingly fluid coordination for machines.

Wednesday:
Reclaim and Motion clashed. One tried to preserve a routine meeting prep slot, while the other pushed errands into that window. Gemini stepped in with a gentle reminder that I had a client call soon, prompting me to manually adjust. It was the first time I saw three AIs wrestling with my priorities.

Friday:
I noticed something remarkable. I wasn’t checking my calendar every hour like I used to. The AI had created a rhythm that felt natural. Gemini reminded me to take a walk after a long Zoom session. Reclaim blocked that time off. Motion prompted a quick review session of pending tasks before the weekend.

The Good, the Bad, and the Robotic

What Worked:

• Reduced mental load: I made fewer micro-decisions. The AI did the heavy lifting.
  
• Structured time: Reclaim’s smart scheduling created useful boundaries.
  
• Responsiveness: Motion adapted quickly to shifting tasks and changing deadlines.
  

What Didn’t:

• Rigidity: Reclaim and Motion sometimes lock tasks too tightly, making changes tedious.
  
• Overconfidence: Gemini occasionally over-prioritised based on a misread of urgency in my emails.
  
• Setup fatigue: Getting all three systems aligned with my preferences took effort and patience.
  

Would I Do It Again?

Yes, but with adjustments. I’d keep Reclaim for structure, use Motion for deadline tracking and dynamic reordering, and let Gemini handle communication summaries and light planning. Letting AI manage my time still requires trust, but it’s worth it for the mental clarity.

Final Thoughts

Letting AI plan my week didn’t just make me more productive; it made me reflect on how I use my time. The win wasn’t a perfect scheduling. There was less anxiety. These tools are evolving from assistants to partners, ones that help us make room for focus, rest, and balance.
