Build a daily 10-minute briefing.

Personalized signal, not a feed. Auto-runs each morning before you open Slack.

Why this works

A good briefing is not another feed. It is a short answer to what changed, what matters, and what you should do today.

The repeatable part is the source list and output shape, not the model.

Run it

  1. Pick five sources
    Use sources you would actually trust if the model did not exist.
  2. Define the output
    Ask for changes, implications, decisions, and one action.
  3. Schedule the run
    Use your automation tool only after the manual prompt gives useful output.
  4. Review in 10 minutes
    Keep the brief short enough that you can finish it before Slack opens.

The prompt

Build my daily 10-minute briefing from these sources.
Return only: what changed, why it matters, decisions I need to make, and one next action.
If a claim is not tied to a source, omit it.
