This is a private, helpful automatic email that uses advanced AI and machine learning to help you stay on top of important tasks, deadlines, and reminders. You can customize the briefing to include only the items you want, or you can turn it off altogether. Though the content is pulled from your emails, no human ever reads your email. It uses the Microsoft Cortana AI engine, which is similar to Alexa or Siri.<\/p>\n

The Daily Briefing email helps you stay in control of your calendar and be intentional about your day. Within a few hours of the start of your workday, you’ll get an email about any relevant items to help you better prepare for the day ahead, including:<\/p>\n Since September 2020, the Daily Briefing email is becoming generally available for Microsoft 365\u00a0 users in English.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll get a different version of the Daily Briefing email depending on which version of Outlook you\u2019re using:<\/p>\n Briefing emails are personal and private and are only sent to you directly in your mailbox, which cannot be accessed by anybody else<\/strong> in your organization, including your IT administrator, instructor, or your manager. Briefing email data uses email and calendar data, and processes and stores any insights or actions inside your Exchange Online mailbox, so data security is built-in and enforced by Microsoft.<\/p>\n Briefing emails do not include any new personally identifiable information about anybody else in your organization. Your Briefing emails are based on information that you already have access to but can\u2019t quickly aggregate without help. For example, if you want to determine what commitments you made to others, you could manually review each email in your mailbox. The Briefing email helps you avoid this time-consuming process.<\/p>\n The Briefing email looks for actionable tasks in Outlook and includes the top results in the email. If these tasks are related to any upcoming meetings, they\u2019ll be listed in context with the meeting. Meetings will also have links to any attached or potentially related documents.<\/p>\n The Adaptive version of the Briefing email also includes any last-minute options to schedule a time to focus on deep work or to make progress on any of the tasks included in the email. Any existing focus time that\u2019s already scheduled is also referenced in this section.<\/p>\n You can unsubscribe from the Cortana Daily Briefing message using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each message.<\/p>\n Or to customize and manage your subscription to the Briefing email, go to https:\/\/cortana.office.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information visit:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/CortanaScreenShot.jpg\")
