Your Morning Brief, Read Out Loud

For the first five minutes of the day. DuckyHelper checks your calendar, inbox, pull requests and task list through each site's own API, then tells you out loud what today looks like. Put it on a schedule and it's ready when you are.

YOU SAY

“Give me my morning brief: today's meetings, emails that need a reply, PRs waiting on me and overdue Notion tasks.”

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud.

WHERE IT ASKS FIRST

Nothing to send, so it runs straight through.

Nothing in this job sends a message or pays for anything, so it works through to the end and tells you when it's done. If a step ever would, it's built to stop and ask you first.

If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.

Sign in to Google Calendar to keep going

DuckyHelper is built not to type your passwords or card numbers. Sign in yourself, then it picks up where it stopped.

MAKE IT ALWAYS ON

Do it once. Then let it repeat.

When it's done, it offers to keep doing it: every weekday at 8:00 AM. Each run goes through the API it learned the first time, so it's quick, and it's still built to ask before it sends or pays.

Always-on automations are in early access on Mac.

FAQ

Before you ask it.

What do I say?

Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Give me my morning brief: today's meetings, emails that need a reply, PRs waiting on me and overdue Notion tasks."

Why is the second time faster?

The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Google Calendar, Gmail, GitHub, Notion and Slack and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.

Will it send anything without me?

It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.

Why not just do it by hand?

Planning the day means checking the calendar, the inbox, GitHub, Notion and Slack, each in its own tab.

Can it keep doing this on its own?

Yes. When it's done it offers to make it automatic (every weekday at 8:00 AM). Each run goes the same way and is still built to ask before it sends or pays.

Can I use this today?

Doing jobs in your apps is in early access on Mac. Talking to DuckyHelper, and having it see your screen and draw on it, works today on Mac, Windows and Linux.
