Get a daily briefing of your day
“I start every morning digging through email, calendar and to-dos.”
An AI can send you one morning note: today's meetings, emails that need you, deadlines and weather. Start read-only.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Connect read-only access to calendar, email and task list (or paste them).
- Ask for a short briefing format: meetings, must-reply emails, deadlines, one thing to prep.
- Schedule it for each morning and trim what you don't read.
Copy this prompt
Each morning, give me a briefing under 200 words: today's meetings with one prep note each, emails that need my reply (sender + one line), tasks due today or overdue, and anything that conflicts. Read-only — don't reply, accept, or move anything. Stop after the briefing.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
