The Daily Brief by SMS

The Daily Brief is the morning list of what needs you: flagged mail, drafts ready to send, follow-ups, tasks, and the calendar. You can get a short version by SMS as well as in the app.

What is in the brief

• Emails that need a decision or a reply
• Drafts waiting for approval
• Threads still waiting on a response
• Tasks due today, including ones pulled out of email
• Meetings and whether the day is meeting-heavy or has real focus time

The in-app brief is the full view. The SMS is the short version: calendar and tasks for the day, so you see it before you open a laptop.

When it arrives

The SMS brief is optional. Turn it on in Settings. Default target is 7am local. The in-app brief generates when you open alfred_ in the morning.

From the app: send a draft, dismiss or snooze a task, review a conflict. From SMS: you can text alfred_ the same way you use the web chat.

It is not a newsletter digest. Newsletters were already archived in triage. It is not a meeting notetaker.

$29.99/month or $299.99/year. 7-day trial.
