# Workflows
> Let Runner handle multi-step tasks across your apps so you can focus on the work that matters.
Most of your day is bouncing between apps. Checking email, updating tasks, prepping for meetings, following up on Slack. Runner connects all of those apps and does the bouncing for you.
## What Runner can do
Runner doesn't give you answers and leave you to do the work. It does the work.
### Inbox follow-through
> *"Review my unread emails. Draft replies to anything that needs a response. Check my calendar before suggesting meeting times."*
Runner reads the thread, checks your schedule, pulls any relevant documents, and drafts a reply you can review and send. The whole chain happens in one step.
### Morning briefing
> *"Give me my morning briefing: key meetings today, priority emails, and anything I missed on Slack."*
Runner checks your calendar, triages your inbox, and summarizes Slack activity. Then gives you a ranked brief of what matters before your first meeting.
### Meeting prep
> *"My board meeting is Thursday. Help me prep."*
Runner finds the meeting on your calendar, pulls notes from past meetings, reads recent investor emails, and drafts talking points. The prep starts from real context instead of memory and scramble.
### Follow-up tracking
> *"What emails did I send this week that haven't gotten a reply?"*
Runner checks your sent folder, finds threads without responses, and gives you a list with how long each has been waiting.

## How workflows work
You describe what you want in plain language, and Runner figures out which apps to use and what steps to take.
Type or speak your request. The more context you give, the better the result.
Runner connects to your apps (email, calendar, Slack, whatever's needed), gathers the information, and takes the actions.
Emails, messages, and other outbound actions show up as drafts. You review, edit if needed, and approve before anything is sent.

## Try these on day one
You don't need to set anything up. Just type any of these into a conversation:
| What you say | What happens |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *"Give me my morning briefing"* | Runner checks your calendar, triages your inbox, and gives you a ranked brief of what matters today |
| *"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 email threads, builds a one-page brief |
| *"What did I miss in Slack overnight?"* | Runner summarizes channel activity, DMs, and mentions since you last checked |
| *"Draft a reply to Sarah's email about the budget"* | Runner reads the thread, checks your calendar, drafts a response you can review |
| *"Find a 30-minute slot to meet with Jordan this week"* | Runner checks both calendars and suggests available times |
