OpenClaw Tip #10: Create a Morning Briefing Workflow

Imagine starting every morning with a concise summary of emails, today’s schedule, top news, and pending tasks — delivered before you get out of bed. With OpenClaw, setup takes about 5 minutes.

The Briefing Template

## Morning Briefing - [Date]
### Calendar Today
- Meetings with times and attendees
### Emails Requiring Attention
- Unread emails from key contacts
### Top AI News
- 3 relevant headlines with links
### Pending Tasks
- Due today or overdue
### Weather

Create the Cron Job

openclaw cron add   --name "Morning Briefing"   --cron "0 7 * * 1-5"   --tz "Asia/Hong_Kong"   --session isolated   --message "Generate morning briefing: calendar, unread emails (12h), top 3 AI news, pending tasks, HK weather."   --announce   --channel telegram

Use 1-5 for weekdays only, or * for every day.

Refine Over Time

• Prioritize specific email senders (boss, key clients).
• Focus news on your niche (“AI in real estate”).
• Remove sections you never read.

Multi-Channel Delivery

• Work items → Slack
• Personal tasks → WhatsApp
• News → Telegram

Cost Tip

Morning briefings are perfect for Haiku — summarization doesn’t need deep reasoning. Save money every day.
