Morning & Inbox

How it works

The mechanics of this kit, plainly — what runs and when, where the data lands, and what you look at.

• Morning sweep runs weekdays · 7am and keeps the Your day dashboard fresh. Each weekday it reads overnight mail and sets out what needs you.
• Morning replies runs weekdays · 8am, in 2 stages: Scout reads and picks (handing over needs reply), then Drafter drafts the replies (handing over drafted).
• What is captured lands in the Things that need you record, which lives at Data/Things That Need You in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• The Your day dashboard reads from the record. What's open, what's handled, and everything that needs you — at a glance.

The wiring, in one breath: Morning sweep writes to Things that need you · Inbox triage writes to Things that need you · Things that need you shown by Your day · Your day kept fresh by Morning sweep · Morning replies reads Things that need you · Scout hands over to Drafter.

Make it yours

Nothing here is fixed. The pieces are ordinary agents, routines, records and dashboards, so anything you know about shaping those applies. Retire whatever earns nothing.

Things people usually change first

Say any of these in chat, or edit them on the kit’s page in the app.

• What earns a place on the list, and what is filed silently.
• When the sweep runs, and whether it runs at weekends.
• Whether replies are drafted for you, or only flagged.
• How the day board is grouped.

Your first run

Installing starts a short setup conversation — not a form. Answer roughly, correct later.

1. The first sweep reads a week of the mail already sitting there and sets aside what genuinely needs a reply or a decision, so you see the shape before it runs unattended.
2. From then on it raises a short card only when something new needs you — otherwise it stays quiet.
3. You correct what it set aside, in chat. Those corrections make the second morning better than the first.
4. Tell it which senders always matter, or how you like the day framed — a tight list, or the fuller picture — and it remembers.

Watch the first pass, then tell it what you would have done differently — that correction teaches it more than any setup could.

The essentials

Learning, preferences and run costs work the same in every kit — so they are covered once, in the Kits guide.
