Build a Jarvis That Briefs You Every Morning

A daily briefing system that pulls only what matters, speaks in a consistent format, and stays honest about what it can access.

  1. Build the dashboard first, even if the data is mocked. Decide what belongs on screen.
  2. Tell Claude who you are, what you care about, and what a useful morning brief includes.
  3. Authorize connectors one at a time: calendar, email, tasks, analytics, revenue, or social.
  4. Make the dashboard live by replacing placeholders with read-only data pulls.
  5. Run manually for a week, then schedule it only after the output is consistently useful.
Morning Brief Prompt
Create my morning brief.

Use only connected sources you can access. Do not invent missing data.

Sections:
1. Today's calendar and hard commitments.
2. Emails or messages that need a reply.
3. Tasks that are blocked or urgent.
4. Metrics that changed meaningfully.
5. One recommendation for what to do first.

Keep it short, specific, and action-oriented. Flag anything you could not check.

Keep control: a morning brief should read and draft. It should not send, spend, cancel, or publish without you approving the final action.
