Set up a recurring daily briefing and every morning get a text summarizing your day: meetings, unread VIP emails, and pending follow-ups. Read it with coffee, before opening your laptop.
The iMessage agent must be connected first. See Setting Up the iMessage Agent if you haven’t done this yet.

Set up your briefing at the end of your first day with Slashy. By the next morning, you will have a personalized daily summary waiting on your phone.

​
What the Briefing Includes

A typical briefing:
Good morning. Here is your briefing for Tuesday, March 24. Calendar (4 meetings): 9:00am - Team standup (Google Meet) 11:00am - Sarah Chen, product review (Zoom) 2:00pm - Investor call with Mark at Sequoia (Zoom) Unread from VIPs (2): Mark from Sequoia - RE: Q1 metrics (received 11pm) Lisa from BigCorp - Contract renewal question (received 7am) Pending follow-ups (1): You emailed David about the partnership 3 days ago.

​

​
Add an End-of-Day Wrap-Up

Many users pair a morning briefing with an evening summary. Here is how to set up both:
1

Create the EOD automation

In the agent sidebar, type: “Set up a recurring agent reminder: every weekday at 5pm, send me an end-of-day summary on iMessage. Include emails I didn’t reply to today, commitments I made, and tomorrow’s first meeting.”
2

Confirm

You now get two briefings — one to start your day, one to close it.

​
Respond and Act

Text back to act on items immediately:
  • “Draft a reply to Mark’s email confirming we’ll have metrics by Friday”
  • “Cancel my 4:30 design review and let Alex know I need to reschedule”
  • “Follow up with David about the partnership — say we’d love to move forward”
Actions queue up so they are waiting when you open Slashy on your laptop.
Your briefing is interactive. Do not just read it — reply to it. The agent processes your responses immediately, so you can triage your morning inbox from bed.
