# A morning briefing that fits in one text

> Dash sends one short text in the morning with what's due that day and anything that changed, like a moved exam, a new announcement or an important email from a professor. It texts first only when it matters, and never during your quiet hours.

## Example

- **Dash:** morning. today: HIST 220 response paper due 5pm. your stats prof moved friday's quiz to monday
- **Student:** wait monday? nice
- **Dash:** yep, reminder moved. you've got a gap 1 to 3 today if you want to finish the paper then
- **Student:** remind me at 1
- **Dash:** will do

## What's in the morning briefing?

- What's due today, and how much it's worth
- Dates that moved, like a rescheduled quiz or exam
- Course announcements and important emails from professors, if you've connected them
- Anything you asked Dash to remind you about

## Will Dash text me too much?

No. The briefing is one short text, and Dash only texts first when something actually needs you. Tell it your quiet hours and it keeps to them.

If a briefing isn't useful on a given day, tell Dash and it adjusts.

## How do I set it up?

1. **Bring in your semester.** Send your syllabi or connect Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle or Blackboard.
2. **Set your quiet hours.** Tell Dash when you don't want texts, and it keeps to them.
3. **Read one text.** Each morning, you get the day in a few lines, and you can reply to act on any of it.

## Questions
