What It Does

Morning Briefing gathers information from your connected services — Google Calendar, Gmail, memory, web search, and weather — and delivers a concise daily overview designed to be read in under 60 seconds. Set it to run automatically via cron or trigger it anytime by asking your assistant.

Use Cases

Busy Executive

Start the day with a clear picture of meetings, priorities, and what needs attention before your first call

Remote Worker

Get timezone-aware schedule overview and team context without checking five different apps

Founder / Manager

Meeting prep with context — who you're meeting, what you last discussed, and pending follow-ups

End-of-Day Review

Evening recap of what happened, what got done, and what carries over to tomorrow

How to Use

Step 1

Ask for a briefing

Say "morning briefing", "what's on today?", or "brief me" to get a full overview on demand.

Step 2

Set up automatic delivery

Say "send me a briefing every morning at 7:30" to schedule daily delivery via cron. Add an evening recap the same way.

Scheduling uses the built-in cron system — no extra setup.

Step 3

Customize your briefing

Tell your assistant to turn sections on or off: "skip news", "add weather for Paris", "set my interests to AI and finance".

Step 4

Connect Google for more

If you connect Google Workspace, the briefing automatically adds calendar events and email summaries. Without Google, it works with memory, news, and weather.

The briefing adapts to what's available — no errors if a service is missing.
