What usually goes wrong?
Where agents tend to stall on this job. More patterns in Where AI gets stuck.
- Long CC threads confuse “answered vs unanswered”. Spot-check before client meetings.
- Calendar + mail connectors need stable OAuth; re-auth when Google prompts you.
- Read-only scopes are safer until summaries match your expectations.
