Daily Control

Daily Control is EasyClaw's name for a daily briefing loop: what is on your calendar, what is due, and what deserves focus — delivered to Telegram so you start the day oriented without opening five apps. It is a core example of “background first,” not “chat for its own sake.”

What it is

A structured summary the agent can generate on a schedule (typically mornings in your timezone) using data you have connected: Google Calendar, reminders, and active automations. The runtime is the same managed OpenClaw stack as the rest of EasyClaw.

How it works

1. You enable a Daily Control-style template or phrase the habit you want (in Telegram or the dashboard).
2. Before the run, integrations inject calendar and context into the prompt so the model is not guessing.
3. The agent produces a compact briefing: meetings, hard deadlines, suggested focus — sent to your Telegram chat.

When to use it

• You want one reliable “morning radar” instead of checking calendar + tasks + Slack fragments.
• You travel across timezones and want the agent to respect your day boundary.
• You already use EasyClaw for reminders and want the same thread to anchor planning.

Examples (natural language)

• “Send me a daily control every weekday at 7:30am.”
• “Morning briefing: meetings, top 3 tasks, and anything overdue.”
• “At 8am, summarize my calendar and ping me if two events conflict.”

Templates and exact labels may vary in the product UI; the intent is always the same: scheduled orientation.

Limits and plans

Calendar-backed briefings need Google Calendar connected. Scheduled runs count against your usage like other automations. Starter vs Pro affects which adjacent tools (e.g. heavier web pulls) are available — see Starter vs Pro.

Common mistakes

• Expecting perfect agendas without connecting calendar or without telling the agent your timezone (set in dashboard / agent settings).
• Treating Daily Control as real-time sports scores — it is a batch briefing, not a live ticker.

• Monitoring — external change detection vs daily planning.
• Follow-ups — nudges after the day starts.

Next step: connect Calendar from the dashboard — see Google Calendar, then set your timezone in the dashboard and try a morning briefing from Telegram.
