Review email and reminders at end of day
One user runs ChatGPT as a scheduled task to review mail and reminders and list what's undone; another's agent checks Outlook twice daily, summarizes, and queues draft replies. ·
Done withChatGPT
- What they did
- One commenter said they use ChatGPT scheduled tasks twice a day to check Outlook, then send a summary of anything needing attention and queue draft replies. They also have it check Slack and other tools, with the work happening on a MacBook through a separate Brave browser profile that ChatGPT can drive; another commenter said they use ChatGPT as a scheduled task for this kind of review.
- How it went
- The reported result was that it handles Outlook checks, summaries, and draft-response queuing, and can extend to Slack and other services. Limits in the thread centered on chat apps like iMessage and WhatsApp, which others said are harder to integrate reliably.
- Worth knowing
- The clearest catch was setup: one user said the work runs on their MacBook, using Brave as a dedicated browser for ChatGPT to access logged-in services.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT
Every weekday at [time, e.g. 5pm], review my email and my reminders and send me a summary of what's still undone today: unanswered messages that need a reply, deadlines, and open reminders, sorted by urgency. For emails that need a response, write a draft reply for me to review, but don't send anything. End with a short list of the top three things to handle tomorrow morning.
