Time zone math broke us. Google Calendar betrayed us. And don’t even get us started on hybrid meetings.
In this episode of Lost in Tech, Mamuna Oladipo and Lola Oyelayo-Pearson unpack the very real—and very annoying—limitations of today’s remote work tools, especially when working across 9–12 hour time zone gaps.
We get into the failure of basic systems like Google Calendar, the end of beloved tools like FIO, and how even the best-planned asynchronous culture falls apart when platforms just don’t keep up. This episode is a love letter to the builders—if you’re looking for a viable AI-augmented product opportunity, this one’s for you.
We also share the toll remote chaos took on our health, habits, and headspace, and how AI (including ChatGPT and Gemini) has quietly stepped in to fix what some SaaS giants haven’t.
📌 In This Episode:
Why remote work should be easier by now—but isn’t
The failure of scheduling tools for global teams
Health and lifestyle impacts of working out of sync
Where Gemini and ChatGPT succeed (and where they still fall short)
A pitch for a new AI-augmented product that needs to exist
