All Principal Assistant cards arrive in your dedicated channel. Inbox digests and on-demand responses arrive as direct messages. Each card type is described below.
Morning Brief
When: Each weekday morning on schedule.
What it contains:
- The day's calendar at a glance
- Top priorities drawn from open tasks and deal activity
- A summary of email that arrived since the prior day's EOD brief
- Any items still open from yesterday
Action required: Review to plan your day. Pending approval cards carry over automatically; no separate action is needed to keep them visible.
End-Of-Day Brief
When: Each weekday afternoon on schedule.
What it contains:
- What happened during the day: meetings, approvals, email sent
- Items still open that need attention before tomorrow
- A preview of tomorrow's first commitments
Action required: Review and handle anything time-sensitive before closing out.
Email Draft Card
When: Each time a new email arrives that requires a reply and a draft has been prepared.
What it contains:
- Sender name and subject
- The full draft in your voice
- Approve, Edit, Redraft, and Skip buttons
Action required: Approve to send, Edit to adjust before sending, Redraft to generate a fresh version, or Skip to dismiss without sending.
Inbox Digest
When: Delivered as a direct message when you request one, and as part of the morning and EOD briefs.
What it contains:
- Count of emails by category: needs reply, receipts forwarded, cold/promotional, ambiguous
- A short line per item in each category
Action required: None for the digest itself. Individual email drafts arrive as separate cards.
Meeting Intelligence Card
When: Each time a meeting transcript is processed, whether uploaded or detected automatically.
What it contains:
- A short summary of the meeting
- Extracted action items with owner name and due hint from the transcript
- A follow-up email draft if the meeting calls for one
Action required: Review the action items for accuracy. If a follow-up draft is included, approve, edit, or skip it. If you want to promote an insight to LinkedIn or a blog post, tap the Promote button on the relevant item.
Meeting Prep Card
When: Approximately 30 minutes before a scheduled meeting.
What it contains:
- Who you are meeting and why
- Relevant context from your CRM and open tasks related to this contact or opportunity
- Notes from previous meetings with the same participants if available
Action required: None. Review before the call.
Escalation Card
When: When a tier-1 signal arrives: a client email past its reply window, a stalled deliverable, or another time-sensitive item that warrants immediate attention.
What it contains:
- One line describing what happened
- Why it matters to you specifically
- A recommended action
- A link to the source thread, task, or email
Action required: Review and act on the recommendation. The card includes action buttons if the recommended response can be executed directly.
Decision Capture Confirmation
When: After you log a decision via a direct command or an emoji reaction in Slack.
What it contains:
- The decision text as recorded
- Confirmation that it has been logged
Action required: None. If the captured text looks wrong, follow up with a correction in the channel.
Content Promotion Card
When: When you ask to promote meeting content to LinkedIn or a blog post.
What it contains:
- The excerpt or insight being promoted
- The target destination (LinkedIn post, blog draft)
- An Approve or Skip button
Action required: Approve to hand off to Marketing Social or Marketing Content for drafting. Skip to dismiss.
Buttons on approval cards expire after Slack's standard interaction window. If a card looks inactive, ask the assistant to resurface it.
