Build a morning email and schedule assistant

Claude Code can wake up early, sort messages, adjust your calendar, and map out the day before you start work.

What they did
The author connected Claude Code to Gmail, Google Calendar, Todoist, and Google Maps Directions through MCP servers. They set one routine to handle inbox triage in the early morning and another to get the calendar ready a little later, then used a command that spun up six subagents at once to assemble a time-blocked plan.
How it went
By 6:15 AM, the day’s tasks and calendar were current, including events for drive time based on traffic. No other performance numbers were reported. The setup was described as costing about $100 a month, and the detailed command files were paywalled.
Tips
If you want to copy the setup, expect to spend a weekend getting it working. Keep the agent from taking irreversible actions until you approve them.

Try it yourself with Claude Code

Help me create an overnight assistant in Claude Code for [email account], [calendar], [task manager], and [maps/traffic source]. Set up two scheduled checks: one at [early morning time] to review new email and classify each message as [label 1], [label 2], [label 3], or [label 4], and another at [second time] to get my calendar ready for the day. In the morning, gather the key items, add travel buffers from [home/work address] using live traffic, and draft a time-blocked schedule for me to review. Before you do anything that would send a message, move or remove a meeting, delete content, or submit a change, stop and ask me to approve it. After a test run, show me the summary and wait for my decision.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
