How I Automated My Morning Briefings with Clawdbot

Every morning, I wake up to a personalized briefing from my AI assistant. Here's how I set it up.

The Problem

I was spending 20 minutes each morning checking email, calendar, weather, and news. Boring, repetitive, and easy to automate.

The Solution

Clawdbot + a simple heartbeat job that runs at 7am:

The Setup

In my HEARTBEAT.md:

# Morning Briefing (7am weekdays)
- Check Google Calendar for today
- Scan Gmail for urgent/important
- Get weather for London
- Send summary to WhatsApp

The cron job triggers the heartbeat, Jim reads the file, does the work, and pings me.
