Asking Claude, ChatGPT or another AI agent to get things done for you usually requires you to fill them in on the background. You're spending time telling the agent what it needs to know, rather than actually moving things forward.
From today, Granola does that explaining for you.
#
Your agent brief is a curated snapshot of your work, written by Granola from your meetings. It covers your priorities, the projects on your plate, the people you work with, and how you like to communicate.
Granola rewrites it every night, so it's fresh in the morning. It stays current as you have more meetings.
You can read yours in the Connect tab.
#
Granola writes your brief. It covers your priorities, projects, people and communication style, fresh every morning.
You connect your agents. Like ChatGPT or Claude, and use as many as you like. There's nothing else to set up and nothing to maintain.
Your agents start with the background. Ask questions about your brief, or schedule your agent to check it daily.
#
Your brief helps your agent understand what you're working on, who you're working with and what matters to you right now. It includes:
Overview. Who you are at work, and who you work with most closely.
Current priorities. The few things that matter right now.
Projects. A wider view of your work.
People. The people you're working closely with.
Glossary. Your jargon and shorthand.
Communication style. How you like to talk and write.
Habits. How you approach work.
Identity and role. Who you are and how you fit into your team.
#
Once it's connected, try:
- What are my priorities right now?
- What did we decide on Tuesday's call?
- Turn last week's action items into a plan for this week.
- I've been out for a few days. What's changed in my priorities, and who is waiting on me?
- I have a 1:1 with Priya. What are we working on together, and what should I raise?
- Draft a note to James about the Helios demo. Keep it short and in the way I usually write to him.
- Make a one-page plan for Northwind. Name your decisions, and who else is involved.
- Write your update for the week. Lead with what moved, and leave out anything that isn't on your plate.
- Tell me what you think my job is right now, including the projects and the people. I'll correct you.
