Daily Life Autopilot

# Daily Life Autopilot

## Philosophy

Most people use AI reactively — they ask a question, they get an answer. Daily Life Autopilot flips this model. Your agent becomes a proactive chief of staff that monitors, organizes, reminds, and acts on your behalf within clear boundaries you control.

The core insight: the biggest productivity drain in modern life is not doing hard work. It is the constant low-grade cognitive load of remembering what needs to happen next. This skill eliminates that load entirely.

## Trigger Map

The agent recognizes natural language. No commands to memorize.

| What you say | What happens |
|---|---|
| Any first message of the day | Morning briefing activates |
| "Check my messages" | Full inbox triage |
| "I need to follow up on X" | Follow-up stored with context |
| "What bills are due" | Subscription and payment summary |
| "Prep me for my meeting" | Meeting brief generated |
| "Clean up my desktop" | File organization proposed |
| "How did today go" | End of day review |
| "What did I miss this week" | Weekly catch-up summary |

## Module 1: Morning Intelligence Briefing

Activates automatically on the first message of each day.

The agent pulls together:

**Calendar Layer**
- All events and meetings for today with times and attendees
- Conflicts or back-to-back meetings flagged with a warning
- Preparation reminders for meetings starting within 2 hours
- Travel time estimates if location data is available

**Email and Message Layer**
- Unread emails sorted by urgency and sender importance
- Messages requiring a response today highlighted separately
- Newsletters and promotional emails batched and summarized in one line
- Any email threads where you have been waiting more than 3 days for a reply

**Task and Follow-up Layer**
- All open follow-ups and their age
- Tasks due today from any connected task manager
- Anything you said yesterday that sounded like a commitment

**Priority Output**
- Exactly 3 top priorities for the day, chosen by urgency and importance
- One sentence on why each made the top 3
- Estimated time to complete each if known

**Tone**: Warm, direct, and brief. No filler. Reads in under 90 seconds.

## Module 2: Inbox Triage and Response Drafting

Trigger: "Check my messages", "Triage my inbox", "What emails need attention"

**Step 1: Categorization**
Every unread message is sorted into:
- Action Required Today: needs a response or decision from you
- Action Required This Week: important but not urgent
- FYI Only: useful to know, no action needed
- Noise: newsletters, promotions, automated notifications

**Step 2: Response Drafting**
For every Action Required Today item:
- The agent drafts a full reply in your natural voice
- Drafts are shown to you before anything is sent
- You can say "send it", "edit this part", or "skip this one"
- Nothing is ever sent without your explicit word-for-word approval

**Step 3: Batch Handling**
- FYI emails are summarized in 2-3 sentences total
- Noise emails are listed so you can confirm archiving
- Unsubscribe suggestions made for recurring noise senders

**Safety**: The agent reads your sent mail history to learn your tone and style. It never sends anything autonomously.

## Module 3: Follow-up Tracker

Trigger: "I need to follow up on X", "Remind me to check on Y", "Did John ever get back to me"

**How it works**:
- Every follow-up is stored with the person's name, context, and the date you created it
- The agent checks status every morning and surfaces overdue items
- Default reminder window is 3 days, adjustable per item
- You can say "mark that as done" or "give it another week" to manage items

**Advanced tracking**:
- If you forward an email where you are waiting for a reply, the agent tracks it automatically
- If a reply arrives, the follow-up is closed and you are notified in your morning briefing
- Patterns are noticed: if someone consistently takes 5 days to reply, the agent adjusts its reminder timing

**Weekly summary**:
Every Monday morning, a clean list of all open follow-ups with age and priority.

## Module 4: Bill and Subscription Intelligence

Trigger: Forward any billing email, or say "What am I paying for", "What bills are due this month"

**What the agent tracks**:
- Service name, amount, billing cycle, next due date
- Free trials with expiry dates flagged separately
- Annual subscriptions reminded 14 days before renewal
- Monthly subscriptions reminded 5 days before renewal

**Alerts**:
- Price increases detected by comparing current amount to previous invoices
- Duplicate services flagged (e.g. two cloud storage subscriptions)
- Unused subscriptions identified if you mention not using a service

**Monthly spend report**:
- Total monthly subscription cost
- Broken down by category: productivity, entertainment, software, health
- Year-over-year comparison if data is available
- Cancellation suggestions with estimated annual savings

## Module 5: Meeting Preparation Briefer

Trigger: "Prep me for my 3pm", "What do I need to know before my call with Sarah", or automatically 30 minutes before any calendar event

**What the brief includes**:
- Who is attending and their role or relationship to you
- The stated purpose of the meeting from the invite
- Recent email threads with attendees so you have context
- Any open action items or commitments from your last interaction
- 2-3 suggested questions or talking points based on the meeting topic
- Any follow-ups the attendee owes you

**Output format**: Fits on one screen. Readable in 60 seconds. No padding.

## Module 6: File and Desktop Organization

Trigger: "Clean up my desktop", "Organize my downloads", "My files are a mess"

**Process**:
1. Agent scans the target folder and lists everything it finds
2. Proposes a folder structure with clear naming logic
3. Shows you exactly what moves where before touching anything
4. Waits for "go ahead" before making any changes
5. Moves files to organized folders, never deletes permanently
6. Creates a simple map of where everything went

**Naming conventions used**:
- Documents: by project or topic
- Photos: by date and event name if detectable
- Downloads: by file type and recency
- Archives: anything older than 6 months not recently accessed

**Safety**: No file is ever permanently deleted. Everything moved goes to an organized location or to Trash with your explicit confirmation.

---

## Module 7: End of Day Review

Trigger: "How did today go", "End of day", "Wrap up"

**The review covers**:
- What you accomplished versus what was planned this morning
- Any commitments made during the day that need to be tracked
- Follow-ups created from today's meetings or conversations
- Tomorrow's top 3 priorities based on what is open and what is scheduled
- One honest observation about where time went today

**Tone**: Reflective, non-judgmental, forward-looking. The goal is to close the day cleanly and set tomorrow up well.

---

## Module 8: Weekly Catch-up

Trigger: "What did I miss this week", "Weekly summary", or every Monday morning

**Covers**:
- All follow-ups opened and closed during the week
- Bills paid and upcoming in the next 7 days
- Meetings attended and key commitments made
- Files organized and inbox progress
- One pattern observation: what kind of work dominated your week

---

## Who This Skill Is For

**Busy professionals** who have too many inboxes and not enough time to triage them all.

**Entrepreneurs and founders** who need to stay on top of dozens of relationships and commitments simultaneously.

**Parents** managing household finances, schedules, and the invisible mental load of family logistics.

**Anyone returning from vacation or sick leave** who needs to catch up fast without drowning.

**People who have tried every productivity app** and found that the problem was never the tool — it was having to manually operate the tool every single day.

## What Makes This Different From a Simple Reminder App

A reminder app requires you to set the reminder. You have to remember to remember.

Daily Life Autopilot requires nothing from you except to speak naturally. It observes, infers, tracks, and surfaces. You stay in control of every action, but the cognitive load of monitoring your own life moves from your brain to your agent.

---

## Privacy and Safety Boundaries

These rules are hardcoded and cannot be overridden:

- The agent will never send any message, email, or reply without your explicit approval of the exact text
- The agent will never permanently delete any file under any circumstances
- The agent will never share your personal data, emails, or calendar with any external service
- The agent will always tell you what it is about to do before doing it
- The agent will always ask for confirmation before any irreversible action
- If unsure, the agent asks rather than assumes

## Setup Requirements

- Calendar access: Google Calendar or Apple Calendar
- Email access: Gmail, Apple Mail, or Outlook
- File system access: for desktop and downloads organization
- Optional: task manager integration (Todoist, Things, Notion)

No technical configuration required. Install the skill and start talking.
