Get a daily briefing of your tasks

Your morning standup - powered by AI

Instead of scrolling through your task list every morning trying to piece together what’s urgent, just ask your AI. In one prompt, you get a prioritized view of everything assigned to you in Tallyfy - overdue items at the top, what’s due today in the middle, and what’s coming up this week so you can plan ahead.

What you’ll accomplish

  • Get a prioritized summary of all your Tallyfy tasks in one prompt
  • Identify overdue and urgent items instantly so nothing slips through
  • Start your day with a clear action plan instead of a wall of undifferentiated tasks

Setup: If you haven’t connected Claude to Tallyfy yet, follow the connect your AI to Tallyfy guide first - it takes about two minutes.

Prompt to try:

Give me a morning briefing of my Tallyfy tasks. What’s overdue, what’s due today, and what’s coming up this week? Prioritize by urgency.

What happens: Claude calls get_my_tasks to pull everything assigned to you from Tallyfy. It then reads each task’s deadline, groups them into overdue, due today, and due this week, and presents a clean prioritized summary. Claude is particularly good at calling out tasks that have been overdue for multiple days and flagging them as needing immediate attention.

How it works behind the scenes

The core of this use case is a single tool call: get_my_tasks. When you send your morning briefing prompt, your AI immediately reaches out to Tallyfy, authenticates as you, and pulls back everything currently assigned to you - task names, deadlines, the process each task belongs to, and its current status.

From there, the AI does the sorting. It reads each task’s due date, compares it to today’s date, and slots each task into a category:

  • Overdue - deadline has passed, not yet completed
  • Due today - deadline is today
  • Due this week - deadline is within the next seven days
  • No deadline - tasks with no due date set

The AI then presents these groups in order of urgency, with overdue at the top. Most AIs will also calculate how many days overdue something is, which helps you triage quickly - a task that’s one day overdue is different from one that’s been sitting for two weeks.

If you ask for team-wide tasks rather than just your own, the AI may also call search_for_tasks to pull in tasks assigned to others on your team. This is useful if you’re a manager doing a morning check-in across your whole team rather than just your personal work queue.

One thing worth noting: the AI is reading live data from Tallyfy. It’s not working from a cached snapshot. So if someone just completed a task five minutes ago, it won’t show up in your overdue list. The briefing is always current.

Tips for better results

Ask for specific time frames. “What’s due before Friday?” or “Show me anything due in the next 48 hours” gives you a tighter, more actionable list than a full week view when you’re in crunch mode.

Request a format. Adding “give me a markdown table” or “bullet points only, no extra commentary” shapes the output to match how you want to read it. If you’re pasting the briefing into a Slack message or a daily note, a specific format saves you editing time.

Add context fields. “Include the process name for each task” tells the AI to pull in the parent workflow for every item. This is useful when you’re juggling multiple projects - knowing a task belongs to “Q2 Onboarding” vs “Website Refresh” changes how you prioritize.

Ask about blockers. “Which of my overdue tasks might be blocked by someone else?” prompts the AI to look at task dependencies and assignee information in Tallyfy, surfacing items where you might need to follow up with a colleague rather than just act yourself.

Make it a habit. The same prompt every morning means the AI builds familiarity with your typical task patterns. Some AIs will start to notice things like “you usually have three tasks due on Wednesdays” and surface that kind of context unprompted after a few days of consistent use.

Ask for a count. “How many tasks do I have in each category?” is a fast gut-check. Seven overdue tasks is a different kind of morning than zero.

Sample briefing output

Here’s the kind of response you can expect. The exact format varies by AI, but the content structure is consistent:
