Every morning three independent branches run at once: an RSS feed gives the top headlines, a Google Sheet gives your open tasks, and a free weather API gives today's forecast. Each branch is trimmed to a compact summary, then a Merge node appends all three streams and an Aggregate node bundles them into a single item. A Basic LLM Chain with Google Gemini weaves the weather, headlines and your most important task into one warm, motivating note - not a bullet dump - which is emailed to you before the day starts. The weather branch fails soft, so a flaky API never blocks the briefing.\n\n### Setup\n1. Connect Google Gemini (PaLM) API, Google Sheets and Gmail.\n2. Set your RSS feed URL, your Tasks sheet, the weather latitude/longitude and your email address.\n3. Adjust the schedule to your wake-up time.\n\n### Customization tips\nAdd a calendar branch, or send the briefing to Slack or Telegram instead."
