Daily Morning Briefing: Start Every Day Informed
Get a personalized summary of weather, calendar events, industry news, and tasks due — delivered to your phone each morning.
What You Will Get
Most mornings start the same way: you unlock your phone, bounce between a weather app, your calendar, a news aggregator, and a task manager. By the time you sit down to work, twenty minutes have evaporated and you still feel like you forgot something. A daily morning briefing eliminates that scramble by packaging everything you need to know into a single message that lands on WhatsApp or Telegram before your alarm goes off.
After setup, your agent pulls the local forecast using the weather skill, reads today's calendar events through gog (Google Workspace), scans industry headlines with tavily-search, and lists any tasks due today. It stitches all of that into a clean, scannable summary — weather at the top, meetings in the middle, headlines below, and a task checklist at the bottom.
The whole briefing takes about ten seconds to read. You will know whether to grab an umbrella, which meetings have conflicts, what your industry is talking about, and what deadlines are staring you down — all before your coffee is ready. Setup takes roughly ten minutes.
Setup Steps
Wire up your morning briefing in about 10 minutes.
Pick Your Delivery Channel
Decide where you want to receive the briefing. WhatsApp and Telegram are the most popular since they are already on your phone. Slack works well if your team is there too. Connect the channel in your RunTheAgent dashboard.
Connect Google Workspace
Enable the gog skill so the agent can read your Google Calendar events and task lists. Authorize the connection and choose which calendars to include — most people start with their primary calendar and one shared team calendar.
Enable Weather and News Skills
Activate the weather skill and set your default city. Then enable tavily-search and tell the agent which topics matter to you: 'SaaS trends,' 'ecommerce logistics,' 'freelance design industry,' or whatever keeps you sharp.
Write the Briefing Instruction
Message your agent: 'Every weekday at 6:30 AM, send me a morning briefing with today's weather, calendar events, top 3 industry headlines, and tasks due today. Format it with emoji headers so it's easy to scan on my phone.'
Set the Schedule
Configure the scheduled trigger for the time you want. Most people choose 30 minutes before they normally start work. Weekend schedules can be different — maybe just weather and personal calendar, no industry news.
Test and Refine
Run the briefing manually by saying 'Send my morning briefing now.' Review the output. Adjust the number of headlines, add a motivational quote, or remove sections you don't need. Iterate until the format feels right.
Tips and Best Practices
Keep It Scannable
A wall of text defeats the purpose. Use emoji headers, bullet points, and short sentences. The briefing should take under 15 seconds to read.
Rotate News Topics
If your industry is narrow, ask the agent to include one wildcard headline from a related field. Serendipity sparks ideas.
Add a Weekly Twist
On Mondays, include your week-ahead calendar overview. On Fridays, add a 'wins this week' prompt so you end the week on a high note.
Share with Your Team
Create a Slack channel version that posts a team briefing — shared calendar events, company metrics, and upcoming deadlines. It replaces those 'what's happening today?' standup messages.
