Agentic Productivity in the Third Place: Enabling Executive Performance through AI-Assisted Inking and Immersive Communication

Productivity often declines in “Third Place” settings like commuting or between meetings, where attention is fragmented and context switching is frequent. Mobile professionals, especially executives, may lose ideas, disrupt cognitive flow, and delay follow-ups. Existing tools are fragmented and non-agentic, forcing users to manually connect capture, organization, and action across apps. This project proposes an agentic AI workflow that integrates a lightweight assistant with digital inking and immersive communication, enabling fast capture, structured next steps, and seamless follow-up without leaving the current context.
