Build a daily morning briefing
One message each morning with today's calendar, emails that need you, and anything you asked it to watch.
What you need
- Connected calendar
- Connected email (optional)
- A list of topics or accounts to watch (optional)
Steps
- Decide what belongs in the briefing: meetings, prep notes, urgent email, news on topics you care about.
- Ask Grok Bot to build the briefing once by hand and adjust the format until it reads in under two minutes.
- Ask it to include, for each meeting, who is attending and the last email thread with them.
- Turn the finished instructions into a routine that runs each weekday morning.
Prompt to copy
Give me today's briefing: 1) my calendar for today with attendees and a one-line prep note per meeting, 2) emails from the last 24 hours that need a decision from me, 3) anything new on [topics]. Keep it under 250 words.
Tips
- Shorter is better. Cut sections you never read.
- Ask it to flag back-to-back meetings with no prep time.
- Filter the briefing to a short priorities list: for each item ask for the source, why it matters, the next step, and whether you owe a decision.
- Bots can send a voice memo you play in the conversation, which is handy on mobile.
FAQ
Can Grok Bot read my Slack, email, and calendar for a briefing?
Yes, through connectors you approve. Scope it to the channels and accounts you choose and tell it not to send messages or change meetings.
