Morning brief

A short morning brief with what matters: your day, your inbox, and the things you said you'd do.

Text Pally: Set up a morning brief for me every day at 7:30: my calendar, anything urgent in email, and anything I promised people.

The routine

How it works

GmailCalendarSlack

You set it up once, in one text. Every morning Pally reads across your connected apps and sends a few short messages, one per topic, with the things worth knowing. Reply to act on any of them.

  1. Tell Pally what belongs in your brief and when you want it: today's calendar, urgent email, promises in Slack, or less.
  2. Each morning Pally reads the apps you connected and picks what matters: schedule changes, messages that need you, and loose commitments.
  3. The brief arrives at your time as a few short messages, one per topic.
The full routine

Tell Pally what belongs in your brief and when you want it: today's calendar, urgent email, promises in Slack, or less. That first text sets the routine.

Each morning Pally reads the apps you connected and picks what matters: schedule changes, messages that need you, and loose commitments. A source with nothing new stays out.

The brief arrives at your time as a few short messages, one per topic. Ask for one message if you prefer. Reply to any item to act on it or change tomorrow's brief.

Good for

  • Seeing schedule changes before the first meeting
  • Finding the small set of emails that need you today
  • Remembering promises made in a busy Slack thread
  • Starting the day without opening three separate apps
  • Keeping a shifting week focused on the next useful move

Things to try

You: send me a brief at 7:15 with today's calendar and anything urgent in gmail
You: include slack promises in my weekday morning brief
You: what changed since yesterday's brief?
You: make tomorrow's brief mostly about the launch and my afternoon meetings

Before you start

Common questions

Which apps can the brief use?

Whatever you've connected: email, calendars, Slack, WhatsApp, and iMessage through the Pally Mac app. Ask for a narrower brief any time.

Can I change the time or skip weekends?

Yes. Text Pally a new time or the days you want, and the routine follows. You can change it again later.

Can I act on something from the brief?

Yes. Reply to the item. Ask Pally to reply to an email and it sends; ask for a draft and you see it first.
