I meant more like:

    0 8 * * 1-5 claude -p "Fetch my unread emails from the last 24 hours, identify urgent items, and provide a bulleted summary." >> ~/desktop/daily_email_summary.txt

Now, obviously - you might want something a little more elegant; but my point was that if you already grant Claude tool access to your email, slack etc - then it should be trivial to wrap it in a script, and run that from Cron.

I wouldn't do that; I don't trust Claude code with access to my mail (nor would I trust Claude desktop - but I don't use it anyway).

But, if you do trust Claude to read your slack and email, I don't see why Claude code couldn't do this for you almost out of the box?
