Daily Brief Email
The Daily Brief is a single email Groupthink sends in the evening so you can prep for tomorrow and review today in one place. It pulls together prep for the people you are meeting with tomorrow and short recaps of the meetings Groupthink helped you capture today. Instead of separate emails landing throughout the day, everything arrives in one predictable touchpoint.
Heads up: Prep for the people you are meeting with tomorrow requires an active trial or paid plan. Without one, the brief still arrives with your meeting titles and times, but the per-person prep is replaced by an upgrade prompt.
What is in the Daily Brief
A Daily Brief can contain two sections, depending on what is on your calendar and what Groupthink captured that day.
Tomorrow's Meetings
For each meeting on tomorrow's calendar that has someone to prep for, you get a prep card per attendee. Depending on what Groupthink knows about that person, a card can include:
- Their name, plus role and company when available
- When you last met
- A quick tip for the conversation
- Their communication style
- A summary of your past interactions
- Your own notes and recent details
- Open threads to follow up on
- Grounded facts from the web for people you are meeting for the first time
Cards fill in what is known and leave out what is not, so a long-standing contact shows more than a first-time introduction. This is the same prep you see on each meeting's agenda. See Meeting Prep Cards for the in-app view.
Today's Meeting Recaps
A short summary of each meeting Groupthink helped you capture today, with a link to open the full recap. This section appears whether or not you have a paid plan.
When the Daily Brief Sends
The Daily Brief sends once per day at 5pm in your local timezone, on weekdays only (Monday through Friday). It is not sent on weekends.
You will receive it on a given weekday as long as you have at least one of the following:
- A meeting with attendees on tomorrow's calendar
- A meeting Groupthink recorded today
If you have neither, no brief is sent that day.
Finding the Daily Brief in the App
The same prep that powers the email lives in the app under Daily Brief in the left navigation, which opens your intelligence view. You do not have to wait for the evening email to see what is coming up.
Turning the Daily Brief On or Off
Email delivery is controlled from your notification settings:
- Open User Settings > Notifications
- Find the Daily Brief row in the Notify when... table
- Toggle the Email channel off to stop receiving it (or on to resume)
Frequently Asked Questions
I used to get a separate prep email before each meeting. Did something break?
No. Those per-meeting emails were consolidated into the Daily Brief. Your prep now arrives in one evening email the day before, instead of separately ahead of each meeting.
Why does my brief say to upgrade instead of showing prep?
Per-person prep for tomorrow's meetings is part of a paid plan. If your trial has ended and you do not have an active subscription, the brief still lists your meetings but shows an Upgrade to see prep button in place of the prep cards. Today's recaps are not affected.
Can I still see prep in the app?
Yes. Prep cards are available on each meeting's agenda before it starts. See Meeting Prep Cards for details.
I did not get a brief today. Why not?
The most common reasons: it was a weekend, you had no meetings with attendees tomorrow and nothing recorded today, or email delivery is turned off in your notification settings.
