Daily Task Briefing — v1.0 Release Notes
Version: 1.0
Released: 2026-04-20
Price: $4.99
Category: automation
QA Status: APPROVED_FOR_RELEASE (Viper 2026-04-20)
What It Does
Daily Task Briefing generates a personalised morning digest that pulls together everything your agent did overnight — cron results, memory highlights, pending tasks, and today's scheduled agenda — into one clean, structured report. Instead of checking five different files to understand what happened while you slept, you get a single briefing delivered on schedule or on demand. It supports rich console output, plain text, JSON, and webhook delivery to Telegram, Discord, or Slack.
Use Cases
- Busy professionals running automated agent pipelines who want a single 60-second summary of overnight activity, cron errors, and today's priorities before starting their day
- Teams managing multi-agent cron estates who need a fast way to spot failed jobs, memory changes, or pending tasks without digging through logs
- Anyone who wants a 6 AM briefing delivered to Telegram or Discord so their agent proactively surfaces what needs attention, rather than waiting to be asked
