Using AI and Emacs to Build a Values-Based Agenda

As an Emacs user who doesn’t know Lisp, I rely on LLMs to add features to my agenda tools. The agenda views that ship with Emacs Org Mode offer a bounty of features in their own right, and I would reccomend those interested in productivty and time management to investigate the software. However, the authors of Org Mode could not possibly have predicted my idiosyncratic productivity needs, and so I am required to build them myself. Fortunately, Emacs is highly extensible; unfortunately, it is written in Lisp.
