Family Morning Briefing Poke Recipe

Who this is for

Busy parents who coordinate school, sports, appointments, meals, and work. Families that already have useful information in Gmail or Google Calendar. People who want a personal AI assistant without running a server or managing API keys.

The problem it solves

Family logistics are usually scattered across school emails, sports messages, calendar invites, and memory. The hard part is not intelligence. It is getting the right few facts in one place before the day starts.

What the recipe does

Reviews the connected calendar and recent relevant email.

Summarizes the day by person, time, location, and likely handoff.

Flags conflicts, missing details, and items that need a parent decision.

Keeps the output short enough to read while getting kids out the door.

What it connects to

Connects to: Poke, Google Calendar, Gmail.

What data it may access

Calendar events, event titles, times, locations, guests, and notes.

Recent email that appears relevant to school, sports, childcare, activities, or logistics.

Names and context you provide in the recipe prompt.

What it will not do

It will not add, delete, or move calendar events unless you explicitly ask.

It will not text coaches, teachers, or other parents for you.

It will not replace checking the official school or team source when details are unclear.

Example prompts

Give me the family morning briefing for today. Keep it practical and call out anything that needs a parent decision.

What should I know before school drop-off and practice today?

Check tomorrow morning for conflicts between school, work, and activities.
