A morning brief (weather + headlines)

Partly reproduced (V1) on 2026-10-19: weather (New York high 16.3 C, 0% rain chance) and 5 BBC World headlines worked from public feeds; the calendar half needs account access and was not tested.

The claim (@cdepino, source post): 'A morning brief with weather and your calendar' as an easy first routine.

Result vs claim

Forecast for 2026-10-19: high 16.3 C, low 4.2 C, 0% rain chance; 5 headlines with publish times. The public half works; the calendar half (the personal part) is untested.

How we checked it against ground truth

Each value matched the raw API/RSS response saved in the run log.

Try it yourself

Give me a morning brief for New York: today's high/low and rain chance, plus the top 5 world headlines with times.

Method

Fetched today's New York forecast from Open-Meteo and the top 5 BBC World RSS headlines. The calendar part was skipped (needs account access), and no schedule was set.

Steps

• Open-Meteo forecast API
• BBC World RSS

Sites and APIs touched

• api.open-meteo.com
• feeds.bbci.co.uk

Failure modes seen

• Calendar requires L1 access, so we could not test the useful part.
• News selection is whatever the feed ranks first.

Lowest-access way to try it

L0 without calendar. Add calendar read-only (L1) later if you trust the agent.
