Needs-a-Reply Daily Digest
Needs-a-Reply Daily Digest is a routine your Townie AI assistant runs each morning: it reads the past week of your email and Slack, keeps only the threads genuinely waiting on you, and sends one prioritized list — each item with a one-line reason and a link. When nothing needs a reply, it sends nothing.

FrontIt runs once each morning
Before your day starts, your Townie looks back over a full week of email and Slack — long enough that slow-burn threads don't escape.
It keeps the bar high
Only threads genuinely waiting on you survive: an open question directed at you, someone blocked on your answer, a commitment you haven't closed. FYIs, newsletters, and threads someone else owns get dropped.
You get one list, or silence
A single Slack DM, ordered by time-sensitivity and how long people have waited, each item with a one-line reason and a link. Nothing owed? No message.
Needs-a-Reply Daily Digest FAQ
It's a routine your Townie AI assistant runs each morning: it reads the past week of your email and Slack, filters down to only the threads that genuinely need a response from you, and sends one Slack DM listing them — each with a one-line reason and a link. If nothing needs a reply, it stays silent.
No — it surfaces and links, nothing more. It reads only the accounts you connect, access is scoped to you, and no reply ever goes out on your behalf. Read more in our security overview.
Your email and Slack — that's it. If you live in other channels too (a support inbox, a community forum), tell your assistant and it folds them into the same list.
Someone's waiting on you, an open question is directed at you, or you made a commitment you haven't closed. Threads where you replied last, someone else owns the next step, or it's an FYI don't make the cut — and you can tune the bar either way.
Yes — email, a different channel, or a different time of day. The once-a-morning Slack DM is just the starting shape; one message to your assistant changes it.
