Just realized my AI scheduling tool was double booking me for 3 months

I set up this automated calendar bot in June and last week I noticed I had two cleanings booked at the same time on 3 different days because I never checked the timezone settings after a daylight savings change. Has anyone else had their AI assistant mess up basic time math like this?

Did you actually check the timezone settings or just assume they'd sync right?

The timezone thing is actually a lot trickier than people realize. I read somewhere that Windows and Mac handle timezone syncing differently, and even if your computer says it's set right, the server might still show the wrong time. A friend of mine had issues with a shared calendar until he manually picked his city instead of just relying on automatic detection. Might be worth checking if the device is pulling from the right source, like a network time protocol server.
