Run your morning briefing
Start a new conversation and type:
“Give me my morning briefing.”Runner checks your calendar, triages your inbox, and gives you a ranked brief of what actually matters today. Meetings with prep notes. Emails sorted by urgency. Conflicts flagged. All in one scannable result.This is the single best way to see what Runner can do.
What to try next
Now that you’ve seen Runner in action, try a few more things:| Say this | What happens |
|---|---|
| ”Triage my inbox” | Runner classifies every email, drafts replies for what needs a response, archives the noise |
| ”Prep me for my next meeting” | Runner researches attendees, pulls relevant emails, builds a one-page brief |
| ”Draft a reply to the last email from [name]“ | Runner reads the thread, checks your calendar, drafts a response you can review |
| ”What emails did I send this week with no reply?” | Runner checks your sent folder and flags what’s gone stale |
Your first week
You don’t need to learn everything at once. Here’s a good progression:- Day 1: Connect Gmail and Calendar. Run your morning briefing.
- Day 2: Try inbox triage. Let Runner classify your emails and draft replies.
- Day 3: Connect Slack. Ask Runner what you missed overnight.
- Day 4: Set up your first automation — morning briefing at 8am, every weekday.
- Day 5: Connect your project tracker (Linear, Notion, etc.). Ask for a weekly review.
