Morning briefing on an e-ink screen the family reads
Every morning at 7, the agent puts the day's calendar, top to-dos and weather on a paper-like e-ink screen in the living room. The author's wife reads it over coffee, and it became the family's shared to-do list. Setup took about 20 minutes.

What you get
Every morning at 7, the agent puts the day's calendar, top to-dos and weather on a paper-like e-ink screen in the living room. The author's wife reads it over coffee, and it became the family's shared to-do list. Setup took about 20 minutes.
The prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Every morning at 7am, build my daily briefing: today's calendar events, my top 3 to-dos, and the weather for [city]. Keep it short enough to fit on one small screen. Put any calendar conflicts at the top. Send it to [my e-ink display / a page I can open on a spare tablet] so everyone at home can see it.
