One of the most common questions I get from executives exploring AI is: "Where do I even start?" My answer is almost always the same: start with something small that saves you time every single day.
Good Morning, Mom is my own daily proof of concept. It's a simple agentic workflow that triages my email and calendar each morning and sends me a consolidated briefing before I've finished my first cup of coffee. Nothing flashy, just genuinely useful.

I built it in Relay.app, orchestrating several integrations:
Each AI step has its own focused prompt template designed to produce consistent, actionable output. Here's the flow:
Email Triage The workflow starts by checking my three inboxes for emails from the past 24 hours, filtering out promotions and other noise. For each inbox, an AI step scans what's left and surfaces only the messages likely to affect my priorities today. A utility step then combines all three inbox summaries into a single data item.
Calendar Curation Next, the workflow pulls events for today and tomorrow from all three of my calendars. An AI step reviews the combined list, filters out low-priority holds and all-day reminders, and keeps only the events that actually require my attention.
Task Check-In The workflow then pulls in any tasks I've assigned for today from Todoist, so my briefing includes not just what's coming at me but also what I've already committed to.
Final Briefing Finally, a composer step weaves everything together into one warm, scannable morning email: a quick snapshot of the day, my calendar, email highlights grouped by inbox type, and a short list of top priorities. It lands in my inbox at 6:05 AM, ready before I am.
