Your daily check-in

A daily check-in gives you a place to decide what needs your attention and what you can hand off. Start with one useful result. You do not need to find a new use for your AI employee every day.

Use this rhythm on days when the work is relevant. If your best use happens after a client call, use that occasion instead of adding another morning routine.

Choose your cue

Attach the check-in to something you already do: opening your workday calendar, finishing your first call, or reviewing your task list. Write one sentence you can follow:

When I open my calendar, I will choose one task to hand off before starting it myself.

This is a reminder for you. It does not schedule work or give your employee access to your calendar.

Your morning briefing

A morning briefing can be a short view of today’s commitments, the work waiting for your decision, and one useful next step. Provide your current priorities and notes, or use confirmed connections included in your setup. Ask your employee to distinguish known commitments from suggestions. Begin by requesting the briefing yourself; automatic delivery requires a separately confirmed schedule.

Give it one clear job

Choose a bounded task with information you can provide and a result you can check. Share the source material, the outcome you need, and anything your employee should leave for you to decide.

Make this request your own

Help me prepare for today. Here are my priorities and commitments: [add them]. Identify the one task you can help me move forward. Tell me what information you need and what you will return. Keep any external action for my review.

If you already know the job, give it directly. A clear handoff is more useful than repeatedly discussing what might be possible.

Check the result

Look for three things before you use it:

• Does it answer the actual request?
• Are names, dates, facts, and commitments correct?
• Is the next action clear, including who will take it?

Give a specific correction when needed. “Keep the recommendation, but remove the deadline because we have not agreed to it” is easier to act on than “This is wrong.” Review and approve the work before applying it.

Finish with a visible result

Keep a small record in your existing notes: the job, what you used, and one thing to improve. A reviewed draft or a clearer decision counts. Reading an answer without using it does not tell you whether the handoff helped.

If the day gets away from you

Pick this up at the next relevant occasion. If you have only a moment, save the task and its source material for tomorrow. Bring repeated obstacles to your weekly review.
