Send a 7am daily brief from email, calendar and Todoist
A personal agent runs at 7am, checks email, calendar and Todoist, pulls likely follow-ups and delivers one daily brief instead of the full inbox.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The poster built a personal agent that runs at 7am, reads their email, calendar, and Todoist, then sends one email with a daily summary, schedule, and likely follow-ups instead of making them scan everything themselves. In comments, they said each person gets their own assistant agent, and when they mark something as junk or correct a mislabeled email, that feedback is used to help train the agent for future runs.
- How it went
- They say it saves “way way too much time,” but give no hard metrics in the thread. It still mis-surfaces or mislabels items sometimes, and they fix those cases as part of improving it.
- Worth knowing
- The clearest catch is that it needs ongoing correction: when it surfaces junk or labels something wrong, they manually fix it so the agent learns.
