Where should an AI helper pause for your decision?

A useful boundary is calendar handling. In a draft-only setup, the helper can propose three reply options to a meeting request, flag clashes, and suggest a preferred slot based on stated priorities. In a helper that can act, the risky step is not the wording but the commitment: sending the acceptance, declining another meeting, or moving focus time. A sensible low-stakes pause is just before anything changes another person’s schedule. Hypothetically, that keeps the speed benefit of AI-generated triage while reserving the social trade-off for a human, because the awkward part is often the implied priority rather than the text itself. If a team were designing this workflow, it might let AI draft, rank and pre-fill changes, but require one-tap approval for any action that creates or removes a commitment. Which decision would you want to retain personally?
