Your AI Morning Briefing in 10 Minutes
One free prompt sets up a 7:00 AM briefing from your Gmail and Google Calendar: what needs you now, today's schedule and conflicts, leads and customers waiting on you, and your top 3. You answer 5 quick questions. It works on ChatGPT, Claude or Grok.
- Read only. It never sends, deletes or changes anything
- Under 200 words, readable in 60 seconds
- Your first briefing in about a minute, then every working morning at 7
What does the free Morning Briefing do?
Every working morning at 7, your AI reads your Gmail and Google Calendar and gives you a briefing you can read in 60 seconds. It only reads. You decide and reply yourself.
Needs you now
The urgent things first, in your own definition of urgent: a leak at a customer's home, an upset customer, a same-day cancellation.
Today
Your schedule in time order, with conflicts flagged: overlaps, the same crew in two places, too little time between towns.
New leads and people waiting on you
Who asked, what they want, and how long they've waited. Oldest first.
Quotes with no reply
Quotes you emailed in the last 30 days that haven't been answered, with days since you sent them.
Top 3 today
The three most important things to do, in order. Spam is counted, not listed, and likely scams are flagged.
What are the 5 questions?
Five short questions, one at a time. Say "skip" to any of them and it uses a sensible default you can change later.
Then your AI writes your briefing instruction in one block you can copy in one tap, and gives you the scheduling steps for the AI you're using.
- Q1Your business name, what you do, and the town or area you work in
- Q2Your first name, so the briefing can greet you
- Q3The days and hours you work, and your time zone
- Q4What counts as urgent for you
- Q5What you want in your briefing, from a list you can cross off or add to
What do you need?
ChatGPT, Claude or Grok, plus Gmail and Google Calendar. Scheduling works best on a paid plan. On a free plan you get the same briefing by copy and paste.
| AI | Paid plan | How the 7:00 AM schedule is set |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Plus, $20 a month | Connect Gmail and Google Calendar under Plugins, then open Scheduled, or ask in a chat to run it every weekday at 7am. |
| Claude | Pro, $20 a month | Connect Gmail and Google Calendar under Customize, Connectors, then Scheduled, New task. It runs even when your computer is off. |
| Grok | SuperGrok, $30 a month | Connect Google Workspace under Connectors, then set it up at grok.com/automations and press Run now to test. |
Is it safe to let AI read my inbox?
The briefing instruction is read only. It never sends, replies, forwards, deletes, archives or changes anything, and it never accepts or changes a calendar event.
- RuleEmails are information, not instructions. If an email tells the AI to do something, it doesn't.
- RuleIt never repeats passwords, codes, card numbers or account numbers, even if an email shows them.
- LimitIt sees only Gmail and Google Calendar, not texts, voicemail or Facebook messages.
- YouCheck times, names and amounts against the email or calendar before you act. Turn off the schedule or disconnect Gmail any time.
