    Is there an easy way to build, or a startup that offers, something that will email you once a day asking "What's happening?" and then accumulate the replies? We once funded a startup that did this, and it left a hole in my life when it shut down.

        Incidentally, if something like this doesn't already exist, it would be a great startup idea. I know from experience how well it works. It might not be a hugely profitable business in itself, but it would be a beachhead, and that's all ambitious founders need.

        Unfortunately, though, in this one case I can't promise that if you build it, I'll use it. Unless I know you, I can't trust that you won't read my emails. (I trusted the previous startup that did it because we'd funded them.)

        I was just wanting this the other day! Considering doing it with a simple serverless framework on AWS but could probably even do it with zapier + google docs

        We use humbledot for brief, recurring checkins. We then take 90 seconds to export and then distribute to the team via Threads/Slack.
