Morning focus brief: overnight inbox sorted into a ranked deep-work plan
Runs each morning, scans everything that landed overnight, and posts a single Slack brief that ranks the must-handle emails and lists what the agent already auto-drafted for you.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

- OutputPost ranked focus plan to SlackSlack
What it does
Instead of reacting to email all day, you get one scheduled brief at the start of work. The flow pulls every message received since your last working hour, separates the deferrable from the consequential, drafts replies to the deferrable ones, and hands you a ranked plan for the rest. The output is a single Slack message: top items first, with the reasoning for the priority order.
When to use it
Use it when you'd rather start the day with a plan than an avalanche. Great for anyone who keeps notifications off overnight and wants a curated, prioritized entry point each morning rather than scrolling a raw inbox.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger fires each weekday morning.
- 2The agent fetches all Gmail messages received since the previous end-of-day.
- 3It scores each message by urgency and effort, splitting trivial replies from deep-work items.
- 4For trivial messages it creates Gmail drafts so they're one click from done.
- 5It ranks the remaining deep-work items into a focus order.
- 6A Slack brief posts the ranked plan plus a count of drafts already prepared.
