Introduction
Microsoft Cortana's "Your Daily Briefing" email helps you stay in control of your calendar and be intentional about your day.
Within two hours of your workday (as set up in Outlook), an email from Cortana is sent to your email about any relevant items to help you better prepare for the day ahead, including:
- Outstanding commitments, requests, and follow-ups, to and from other collaborators in email.
- Documents related to your daily meetings that you might want to review beforehand.
- Suggested focus time you can schedule to help get independent work done.
The Briefing Email - How it works
The Briefing email looks for actionable tasks in Outlook and includes the top results in the email. If these tasks are related to any upcoming meetings, they’ll be listed in context with the meeting. Meetings will also have links to any attached or potentially related documents.
The Adaptive version of the Briefing email also includes any last-minute options to schedule time to focus on deep work or to work through any of the tasks included in the email. Any existing focus time that’s already scheduled is also referenced in this section.
