DailyBrief: The AI Assistant That Brings Calm to the Chaos

#devchallenge #runnerhchallenge #ai #machinelearning

This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge

What I Built

Every morning around 10 AM, I would sit down to figure out

"What I should do today?"

My inbox was a mess. Slack threads were half-read. Tasks floated in my head — scattered across emails, meetings, and random DMs.

Some days I felt productive, but couldn’t explain why.
Other days, I felt like I did nothing — yet had no time left.

I needed something to cut through the noise. Something that could show me what actually mattered and keep me aligned — without adding another tool or workflow.

So I built DailyBrief.

The Solution

DailyBrief is a Runner H-powered AI agent that acts like your personal Chief of Staff. It:

Connects to your Gmail and Slack
Runs every weekday at 10 AM
Scans messages involving you
Extracts follow-ups, tasks, and key conversations
Categorizes them using the Eisenhower Matrix:
- Urgent & Important
- Urgent but Not Important
- Not Urgent but Important
- Not Urgent and Not Important
Sends you a clean, structured email titled: "Daily Work Brief – July 5"
On Fridays — it sends a Weekly Recap:
- Tasks completed
- Pending items
- Suggestions for delegation next week

How I Used Runner H

I created this workflow entirely using Runner H’s natural language agent framework.

Apps Used: Gmail | Slack | Gmail (output)

The Prompt:
At 10am every weekday, check Gmail and Slack for action items and conversations involving me. Categorize them by urgency and importance into 4 sections. Write an email titled ‘Daily Work Brief – [DATE]’ and send it to me. On Fridays, include a weekly summary at the top.
No code. Just prompts.
It’s like telling a super assistant what to do — and it just does it.
