Get a daily action list from email, calendar and shared files
A newsletter writer asked OpenAI dots to get him ready for the next day. It combined his calendar, unanswered emails, promises he had made and files he was tagged in into one to-do list, then set itself up to repeat it every morning.

What they did
He connected Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Drive. The dot scanned all three, pulled out emails where he had committed to act, messages he never answered and Drive files he was tagged in, and merged them into a single list. It then created an 8am daily task and wrote its own rules: check for newer replies before calling anything overdue, separate facts from guesses, and stay read-only.
How it went
The poster says He got one very good list of action points, and it caught emails he had forgotten to answer.
Good to know
This is an early, single-person account with no failures reported. He found the personal context a little creepy and says the real test of value comes after the launch-month usage allowance ends.
A prompt to try
Look through my calendar for tomorrow, my email from the last <number> days and files shared with me in <your drive>. Make one list of things I promised to do, emails I never answered and files waiting on me. Before calling anything overdue, check for newer replies. Do not send anything or change my calendar, and repeat this every weekday at <time>.
