A system prompt hints at local AI-powered productivity features, specifically optimized for students. For example, the Clock app’s Focus session will act as a ‘Productivity’ assistant that breaks down tasks into clear, actionable steps, and it works by inferring the task category, then referencing the coursework of the student.

It would be great if there were a way to use AI to help people learn more effectively. But this feels like a way to train young people to become dependent on AI assistance for tasks/skills we humans used to be able to do well enough without AI. An addiction, rather than an assistant.

    But why the clock app? I mean there is already Microsoft To-Do app specifically for reminders and tasks organisation...

    The "old" clock app already had a Pomodoro feature (which I did not realize existed until recently) and you can argue this is a logical progression, I guess.
