The Daily Agent Loop
A productive daily routine with an agent:
- Morning plan (5 min): Agent reviews calendar, inbox, and task list. Produces a prioritised plan for the day.
- Meeting prep (before each call): Agent pulls relevant context, past notes, and drafts questions.
- Follow-ups (after each call): Agent drafts follow-up emails with action items, owners, and deadlines.
- End of day recap (5 min): Agent summarises what was done, what's pending, and tomorrow's top 3.
Inbox Triage
Agent can help with inbox by:
- Categorising messages by urgency and topic.
- Drafting replies for routine messages.
- Flagging messages that need your personal attention.
- Summarising long email threads into key points.
Safety rule: Agent drafts replies but never sends without your approval.
