A developer chronicles the second iteration of their personal AI assistant named Fernão. Key updates include migrating from ICS calendar parsing to the Google Calendar API (reducing schedule generation from ~5 minutes to ~20 seconds), adding Microsoft To-Do task completion sync, and introducing a new 'Task Breaker' module.
