Morning brief
Runs every weekday, but lands late. I plan to move it to a tool that runs agents around the clock.
Every weekday morning, the AI reads my email, chat messages and calendar, then sends me one summary. It also posts the brief inside my Command Center.
- Why
- I wanted a boss. Being my own boss is hard. I wanted something to tell me each morning what matters and what I forgot.
How I built it
- I set up a Claude scheduled task for 9:30 am on weekdays.
- I connected my email, chat app and calendar so it could read them.
- I gave it its own login to my Command Center, so it could read my tasks.
- I had it write sections like "Today," "Past due," "Waiting on you" and "Suggestions."
- I added a Brief page to the Command Center so I can read old briefs too.
- To copy it you need
- Claude, or the AI of your choice, with scheduled tasks and connections to your email and calendar. The gotcha: watch it finish while you are away before you trust it.
Try it yourself
Copy this prompt and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude to try it yourself.
Marty Stevens-Heebner gets a morning brief from her AI every weekday (see her What Are We Building? page). Help me set up a simple one. Each weekday morning, read my calendar and email and send me one short summary: today's meetings, anything past due, and who is waiting on me. Send exactly one message. Her gotchas: her first run sent three copies, and her brief did not finish until she opened the app, so test it while I am away. Start with calendar only. Ask me for anything you need.
