Getting better at

Day 12 of Piano. Spend ten minutes on C major hands separately with a metronome at a slow steady tempo, right hand four times up and down, then left hand the same. Keep the thumb tuck smooth instead of pushing the speed.

Tip for your AI

Paste the Ferguson backorder note and your Summit Ave dates into an AI assistant and ask it to draft a short customer update on the delay. Check the dates yourself before sending.

Loose ends

Everything was read.

Change anything by replying to this email, like "send at 6" or "drop the money list". It is read tomorrow morning.

Written from your Gmail and calendar, sent by your own Google account to you only.

A sample morning. The business is made up; the format, the rules and the wording are the real thing.

How it runs

Nothing to install. Nothing on your computer. No one else holding your mailbox.

It starts with one link on your phone.

Open it, sign in to Google, answer a few questions in your own words. Your first brief lands the next morning.

It runs in your own Google account.

The brief is written from your Gmail and calendar and sent by your own account, to you only. Laptop on or off.

It reads facts, never your life.

Sender, subject, first line, your calendar. Never full email bodies, never attachments. What it could not read, it says.

You can change it, pause it, or stop it.

Reply to the brief to change what it covers or when it comes. Pause while you are away. Stop and the daily timer leaves your account; cancel and your settings are deleted.

Morning Brief's use of information from Google services follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use. Full details on the privacy page.

Take a seat

Leave your name and the Gmail address your brief should run on. I text you a ten-minute setup time, we set it up together, and your first brief lands the next morning.

Google will show a one-time screen at setup saying the app is not yet verified by Google. That is because Morning Brief runs inside your own Google account rather than on a big company's servers, and our verification with Google is in progress. We click through it together on the setup call.
