Thanks for those extra details, that approach could be useful in many circumstances / scenarios. It almost reminds me of "punch-out" in the B2B world.

I would suggest that bringing the "full checkout experience" to chat is backward thinking--that approach adds more friction than a traditional checkout. The ideal flow is when checkout happens behind-the-scenes and the chat is simply a confirmation of purchase.

I enjoy a good brain teaser--fun one!

My only suggestion, make the key slightly larger or a bit more prominent. At some point, the players will have solved enough puzzles to have it memorized, then a way to skink it back down...

So, upload a Garmin file?

Do you have an API? I use Tasqs (https://tasqs.com/) as my primary task management platform--it's particularly useful with its ability to connect to any AI Assistant (via its APIs and MCP connector). BUT, I like your calendar view better than the one it offers... What's your roadmap for data ingestion?

I love the idea of getting out of the "office" (in my case work from home) to meet people for real eye contact, discussions without technology, etc. I went through my LinkedIn contacts a year ago and filtered to those in my city. From that list I contacted a couple of people each day in an effort to meet for coffee, lunch, or adult beverages. It was excellent to have good conversations without a phone or laptop in hand.
