Morning Briefing Agent Template
A pre-configured agent that delivers personalized daily briefings with news, weather, calendar, and custom data sources.
What This Template Does
The Morning Briefing agent delivers a personalized daily summary to your preferred channel -- Slack, Telegram, Discord, or email. It gathers information from multiple sources, synthesizes it into a scannable format, and posts it at your chosen time every morning.
A typical briefing includes weather, top industry news, your calendar for the day, and any custom data feeds you configure. Everything is formatted for quick scanning on a phone screen.
Skills to Install
- Weather -- Local forecast and conditions
- BlogWatcher -- Monitor specific blogs and news sites
- Summarize -- Condense long articles into key points
Recommended Channel
Telegram is ideal for mobile delivery. Slack works well for work-focused briefings delivered to a team channel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to set up the Morning Briefing template?
About 5 minutes. Create your agent, install the weather skill, connect a channel, customize the briefing prompt, and schedule the cron job. Your first briefing arrives the next morning.
Can I customize what the briefing includes?
Completely. The briefing content is driven by the prompt you set in the cron job. Add or remove sections for weather, news, calendar, stock prices, competitor updates, or any other data source the agent can access.
Can different team members get different briefings?
Yes. Create separate agents for different team members, each with their own customized briefing prompt. Or use a single agent that posts different briefings to different Slack channels based on team interests.
