Gmail Daily Briefing

Fetch Gmail emails from the last 24h, rank by importance, summarize into bullet points, and auto-create Google Calendar events for detected meetings.

Description

This skill reads Gmail emails, ranks them by importance, summarizes each email into bullet points, and creates Google Calendar events if an email contains a meeting or interview that is not already on the calendar.

Capabilities

• Read emails (read-only)
• Rank emails by importance
• Summarize emails into bullet points
• Detect meeting/interview emails
• Create Google Calendar events (only when not already added)

Installation

Via ClawHub (recommended):

clawhub install gmail-daily-briefing

Manual:

git clone https://github.com/Russidan-Nadee/gmail-daily-briefing.git ~/.clawdbot/skills/gmail-daily-briefing

Setup Instructions (First-Time Only)

Step 1 — Get Google API credentials

1. Go to Google Cloud Console
2. Create a new project (or select existing one)
3. In the left sidebar, go to APIs & Services → click Enable APIs and Services
4. Search and enable each of the following:
   • Gmail API
   • Google Calendar API
5. In the left sidebar, go to APIs & Services → OAuth consent screen
   • Click Get Started
   • Fill in App name and User support email → click Save and Continue
   • Under Audience → click Add Users → add your Google email → click Save
6. In the left sidebar, go to APIs & Services → Credentials
7. Click Create Credentials → OAuth client ID
8. Under Application type select Desktop app
9. Give it a name (e.g. Gmail Daily Briefing) → click Create
10. Click Download JSON → you'll get a file named client_secret_*.json

Step 2 — Connect to the agent

1. Send the client_secret_*.json file to the agent as an attachment
   • Via Telegram: send as a file (not photo) in your Clawdbot chat
   • Via Claude Desktop: drag and drop the file into the chat
   • Via other platforms: attach the file the same way you attach any document
2. The agent will print an authorization URL — click it to open in your browser
3. Log in with your Google account and click Allow
4. Your browser will redirect to a localhost page showing an error — this is normal
5. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar (starts with http://localhost/?...)
6. Paste that URL back to the agent

Step 3 — Done!

The agent will confirm: "Auth complete. I can now access your Gmail and Google Calendar."

From now on just say: "Summarize today's important emails"
