1. Choose the account and the day
Begin with one account. State your timezone so “today” has a clear meaning, then ask which calendars and mail folders Pear can actually read.
Example requestUsing Pear, show my connected account capabilities, then list the calendars and mail folders I can read. Ask me which account to use. Do not change anything.
What to check
Check the account and calendar names against your source app. A connected status or list of tools alone does not prove that an event or email was read.
2. Ask for a bounded briefing
Choose a small date range and message limit. Replace the timezone and calendar name in this example with your own. Ask for evidence alongside the summary.
Example requestUsing my selected account and Personal calendar, brief me for today in Australia/Sydney. Read today’s events and up to 10 recent inbox messages from the past 24 hours. Give me: meetings in time order, messages that appear to need my reply, and possible clashes. For each point, include its source event or email subject and time. Separate facts from suggestions. Report anything you could not read. Do not send, mark, move or create anything.
What to check
Open one cited event and message in Calendar and Mail or Outlook. Compare dates, timezone, sender and the actual request. An unread count is not a priority assessment, and an assistant’s summary can be wrong.
3. Turn the briefing into a decision
Pick one follow-up after checking the source. Keep planning read-only until you choose a specific action and your client supports it.
Example requestFrom the briefing, suggest the one reply I should prepare first and explain which message supports it. Write suggested wording here only. Do not send it or save a mailbox draft.
What to check
You should have a proposed next step in the chat, with no provider change. If you later request a send or calendar edit, review the exact destination, content and time through the applicable write flow.
If the result is not what you expected
The briefing is empty
Check the selected account, calendar, folder, date range and timezone. Ask for one event or message you know exists. If a read fails, fix the reported permission or connection error before treating an empty answer as “nothing scheduled”.
A meeting or message is missing
The requested limit, pagination or folder may exclude it. Narrow the query to its subject and date, then request more results explicitly. A bounded briefing is not a complete mailbox audit.
You want it delivered every morning
This walkthrough runs when you ask. Automatic delivery needs a separate scheduling feature or configured automation with its own permissions and verification; the prompt itself does not schedule anything.
Know what you are connecting
This is an illustrative read-only workflow, not a live account result. Google Workspace is coming soon. A supported setup path does not establish a completed test in every AI client. Check the data-handling policy before connecting an account.
