Nightly Tomorrow Brief Scheduled Task
Schedule a Cowork task at 8pm that scans tomorrows calendar and emails and messages you a chief-of-staff style day-ahead brief.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I'd be happy to help you set up a daily briefing. You'd want to look at your calendar and emails to pull out the key meetings and action items. It would probably involve connecting to Gmail and Google Calendar, setting up some kind of notification system, and maybe creating a template for how you want the information formatted. You could run this manually each evening or try to automate it somehow. The chief-of-staff style would mean focusing on prep items and what's most important. Would you like guidance on how to approach this, or are there specific platforms you're already using?
We'll set Cowork to fire every night at 8pm and scan your Gmail and Google Calendar for the next 24 hours. DELIVERY Email to your inbox at 8pm sharp, plus optional Telegram or SMS alert to your phone. SCAN FIELDS • Tomorrow's confirmed calendar blocks (start/end time, organizer, URL if video meeting) • Action items from emails received in the past week flagged to tomorrow • Prep tasks: documents to review, links to join, required confirmations • Top 3 focus areas ranked by meeting count and implied urgency CHIEF-OF-STAFF TONE Each meeting gets a one-line prep summary plus what's expected of you (attend, decide, present). Your focus list ranks by calendar density and number of decision points. CUSTOMIZE Set run_time to any hour you prefer (default 8pm). Choose brief_style: punchy, executive, or thorough. Add/remove sources (just email, or include Slack threads and Notion tasks). Timezone auto-detects from system settings but you can override it. SAMPLE OUTPUT Tomorrow: 3 meetings, 2 decisions needed, 1 deadline. Morning: Budget review (you present Q3 summary). Afternoon: Product collab (prep the slide deck). Late: Client call (confirm timezone with them first). Focus: Get deck ready, follow up on approvals.
