Check for work that needs attention
Heartbeat is the proactive system that evaluates relevant current context on a configured rhythm and stays quiet when there is nothing useful to surface.
An AI daily briefing for the work that needs you.
Ghost can check the sources relevant to the day, filter for work that needs attention, and assemble a concise brief with meetings, open commitments, urgent messages, and practical next actions.
- Direct answer
- An AI daily briefing is a selective summary of today’s work assembled from relevant Calendar events, actionable email or Slack activity, open to-dos, and recent meeting commitments, with source links and clear next actions instead of a dump of every update.
One complete example.
At the start of an Atlas launch day, Ghost surfaces the 10:00 review, the unfinished readiness brief promised last week, one customer email that needs a reply, and the blocked Jira item—then proposes the order in which to handle them.
Where each capability enters.
This is one workflow across Ghost, not a bundle of disconnected products. Each feature owns a specific stage and keeps its own access boundary.
Read the sources needed for today
Supported Calendar, Gmail, Slack, and Jira tools can provide current events, messages, and project state when they are connected and relevant to the request.
Keep priorities tied to real work
The Focus board shows active tasks, timing, blockers, and Epics. Meeting memory can add an earlier promise, while current task and source systems verify whether it is still open.
How the work moves.
The handoff stays inspectable from source to result. Every stage names what it received, what changed, and what needs review.
Start from the day’s calendar
The briefing resolves today’s events, timezones, and meeting identities, then identifies which meetings actually need preparation rather than copying the full schedule.
Find actionable communication
Ghost looks for relevant urgent Gmail or Slack work, distinguishes a request from noise, and keeps the source thread available. Connecting an account does not mean every message is continuously monitored.
Check open work and blockers
Focus items, Epics, and relevant project state show what is due, in progress, blocked, or waiting on someone else. The brief should not mark missing source access as completion.
Recall unfinished meeting commitments
Relevant meeting memory can surface a promise or unresolved question from an earlier meeting and compare it with the current task state.
Prioritize and propose next actions
The output leads with what needs the user, why it matters today, and the next practical move. A reply can be drafted, a brief can be opened, or a task can be resumed as a separate action.
Deliver on the configured rhythm
Heartbeat can surface the brief based on current context, while a scheduled AI task runs a defined brief at a chosen time. Those are related but different mechanisms.
What the workflow does not assume.
Connected work still needs accurate sources, explicit destinations, and review where an action changes another person’s system.
- A daily briefing is selective and source-aware; it should not become a complete surveillance log of connected accounts.
- The page does not promise a morning delivery until a cadence and delivery path are configured.
- Drafting replies, editing Calendar events, or changing external project records are separate actions.
Questions about ai daily briefing.
What can an AI daily briefing include?
It can include relevant meetings, preparation context, actionable email or Slack messages, open to-dos, blockers, and unfinished meeting commitments, with links back to the supporting source.
Is an AI morning briefing the same as a scheduled task?
Not exactly. A scheduled task runs a defined brief at a chosen time. Heartbeat can evaluate current context and surface something when it is relevant. Either behavior needs the appropriate configuration.
Does Ghost read every email and Slack message?
No blanket monitoring is implied. The workflow uses supported connected sources that are relevant and available to the task, and it should avoid turning routine noise into the briefing.
Can the daily briefing prepare me for meetings?
Yes. It can point to an AI meeting prep brief or surface earlier decisions and open commitments for an upcoming Calendar event.
What happens on a quiet day?
A useful proactive system should stay concise and can remain quiet when there is no material update, rather than manufacturing urgency to fill a template.
