OperationsDelivers a morning briefing every day

Daily brief

Each morning it reads your Google Calendar for the day's events, scans the top items in your inbox, checks for any held mail or pending approvals from your mates, and sends you a short briefing: what is happening today, what needs a decision before lunch and what can wait. Everything lands in a single message so you can start the day knowing exactly where things stand.
