How to Set Up Your Daily Briefing with Carly
Imagine getting an email every evening that tells you exactly what tomorrow looks like — who you’re meeting with, when you’re free, and what’s coming up. No checking your calendar app, no scrolling through events.
That’s Carly’s Daily Briefing. Here’s how to set it up.
What the Daily Briefing Looks Like
Every evening at 8 PM ET, Carly sends you an email previewing your next day:
From: carly@usecarly.com To: you@yourcompany.com Subject: Your Thursday Briefing — February 27
Here’s what’s on your calendar tomorrow:
9:00 AM — Team standup (Google Meet)
10:30 AM — Design review with Jamie (Zoom)
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM — Lunch (blocked)
2:00 PM — 1:1 with your manager (Google Meet)
3:30 PM — Free until end of day
You have 2 hours of free time tomorrow between meetings.
It lands in your inbox the night before so you can plan ahead and start the next day ready to go.
How to Turn It On
- Log in to your Carly dashboard
- Go to Settings

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
