name: Create a daily work brief tagline: Turn calendar, messages, email, and project context into a focused plan. summary: Give ChatGPT the sources behind your day, then ask it to identify priorities, meeting preparation, reply needs, decisions owed, and useful FYIs in one reviewable brief that can improve through feedback and recurring checks. skills:

  • token: google-drive url: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/main/plugins/google-drive description: Read the approved running notes, trackers, or planning docs behind the day's work. bestFor:

  • People whose priorities are spread across calendar, email, Slack, docs, and follow-up lists.

  • Workdays with several meetings, decisions, and reply-worthy messages to triage.

  • Teams that want a short source-backed brief they can refine and run on a schedule. starterPrompt: title: Build my daily work brief body: >- Build my work brief for [date].

    Review my calendar, unread direct messages and mentions from the last 24 hours, unread email from the last 24 hours, open follow-ups, and the project notes or trackers I name. If a prior brief is available, call out what changed. Create a short brief with:

    • top priorities

    • meeting preparation

    • messages that need replies

    • decisions I owe

    • useful FYIs

    • missing access or uncertain context

    Keep confirmed facts separate from inference. Do not send messages, change documents, or create tasks. suggestedEffort: low relatedLinks:

Start with the context behind today

ChatGPT is most useful when it can see the calendar, messages, email, follow-ups, and notes that shape the day. Give it the sources it is allowed to use and ask it to distinguish urgent work from useful context.

  1. Name the date, working hours, and sources ChatGPT may review.
  2. Ask it to inventory access gaps before drawing conclusions.
  3. Run the starter prompt to create priorities, meeting preparation, replies, decisions, and FYIs.
  4. Review the source links, move uncertain items into an open-questions list, and tell ChatGPT which items were useful or noisy.
  5. Continue in the same chat when a priority needs a draft, a deeper source review, or a recurring check.

Keep the brief short enough to use at the start of the day. Do not give ChatGPT permission to send messages or update source systems until you have reviewed the proposed actions.

Make the brief recurring

Start with one manual brief. After the structure reliably surfaces the right priorities, schedule a task from the same chat so ChatGPT can return to the approved sources each morning and compare the new brief with the previous one. Keep correcting the chat when it overweights noise or misses an important source.

Review what changed

Ask ChatGPT to compare a new pass with the previous brief so you can focus on newly arrived messages, changed meetings, and follow-ups that now need attention.
