## What it does

- Lands in your inbox every weekday morning at 7am Eastern, before the first meeting.
- Pulls today's events from your primary Google Calendar and writes a tight, scannable agenda with times, titles, and attendees.
- Flags the earliest meeting with a short first-thing-to-prep callout, and warns about back-to-back blocks or scheduling conflicts.
- If your calendar is clear, sends a one-line note instead of a full digest so empty days stay empty.

## What you'll need

- A Google account with the calendar you want briefed (the agent reads your primary calendar).
- The email address where you want the briefing delivered.
- No Gmail setup needed. The briefing is sent from General Input's built-in email service.

## Prompt

Build me a daily morning briefing email that hits my inbox at 7:00 AM Eastern Time on weekdays.

Trigger: cron, every weekday (Monday through Friday) at 7:00 AM America/New_York.

Step 1: Call Google Calendar List Events on my primary calendar to pull every event for today in my local time zone (start of day to end of day). Expand recurring events into individual instances and order them by start time.

Step 2: Have the agent write a prioritized, executive-style HTML briefing. It should include: a one-glance agenda as a tight list (time, title, attendees), a short "first thing to prep" callout for the earliest meeting of the day, and a heads-up section flagging any back-to-back blocks or overlapping conflicts. Keep the prose tight, use bullets where useful, no filler, no marketing voice.

Step 3: Use Send Email to deliver the HTML briefing to my email address. Use a clear subject line like "Morning briefing: [Day, Date]".

Empty day handling: if there are no events on the calendar for today, skip the full digest and send a single short line (e.g. "Calendar is clear today.") instead.

Ask me for my email address during setup if you don't already have it. Default time zone is America/New_York unless I say otherwise.

## How to customize

- Change the send time or time zone (for example 6:30am PT, or 8am for a slower start).
- Switch to a different calendar, or include multiple calendars in the briefing.
- Adjust the tone or sections (add a weather line, a top-three-priorities block, or strip it down to just the agenda).

## FAQ

### Do I need a Gmail account or a custom email server?

No. The briefing is sent from General Input's built-in email service, so the only thing you connect is your Google Calendar. Just tell the agent which inbox to send to.

### What happens on days I have no meetings?

Instead of a full briefing, you get a single short line letting you know the calendar is clear. No filler, no fake structure.

### Can I change when it runs or which days?

Yes. The default is 7am Eastern on weekdays, but you can shift the time, change the time zone, or run it on weekends too.

### Will it include private or confidential event details?

The briefing reflects what is on your calendar. If a meeting title is sensitive, edit the title or mark the event private. The agent only reads what you give it access to.

### Can the email reply chain back to my team?

No. The briefing is sent from a no-reply address. It is designed as a one-way morning digest, not a thread starter.
