Access Level

Native Integration + Automated Pipeline: Google core apps sync directly via Gemini. External Slack logs and Granola markdown notes copy smoothly to a structured Google Drive pipeline folder daily.

Output Standard

An informal, 2-page max, internal daily alignment dashboard featuring a top prioritized list, a calendar meeting view tracking open windows, a 5-column maximum high-level grouped project status table, and automated draft email response templates.

Execution Structure
  1. Aggregate Calendar & Tasks: AI reviews the daily calendar grid and ongoing task tallies to establish hard timing baseline commitments.
  2. Scan Gmail Workspace: AI isolates high-urgency interactions, pinpointing clients or colleagues awaiting specific asset fulfillment, and logs an instant contextual draft answer.
  3. Extract Note Action Items: AI parses central Google Meet transcripts and synced Granola file attachments stored in Drive to surface unassigned action details.
  4. Compile Slack Requests: AI processes flagged message logs to gather ad-hoc deliverables.
  5. Assemble Master Draft: System builds an itemized, scannable map tracking milestones, action cards, and email prompts.
  6. ◆ Human Checkpoint The Capacity Audit: You review the parsed layout against the morning schedule block. Filter low-impact items to future dates and manually target highly intense projects directly into open windows, like your post-4:00 PM focus hour.

Team Handoff Guide & Quality Governance

Standard Operating Guidelines

This document acts as an accessible standard operating procedure for scaling or delegating this daily operational framework. Team execution must consistently target a visually calm, completely un-cluttered page design to respect mental space and organizational sanity.

Quality Norming & Cadence Updates

  • Workflow Ownership: Strictly maintained, tracked, and owned by the Primary Supervisor.
  • Initial Calibration: Pressure-test the processing accuracy weekly for the first 30 days to align automation variables.
  • Monthly Optimization: Move to a monthly cadence review to update active project buckets and preserve structural simplicity.
