Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every weekday at 7am, use Groq to write a two-line motivational note and a 3-item plan for the day, and email it to me.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

Most people who try a morning ritual abandon it within a week because it depends on sitting down and thinking. A founder who wants a short plan for the day, a teacher who likes a fresh quote for the whiteboard, a writer who needs one prompt to start the page: each of them would do it if it simply appeared. Opening a chat window, typing the request and waiting is just enough friction to make it fade.

Every morning a stored prompt is sent to a Groq model, the response comes back in a second or two, and the result is emailed to you. You write the prompt once, for example three priorities for a freelance designer, and each day brings a new answer.

It suits anyone who wants a recurring creative nudge, a daily practice problem or a motivational line, delivered without lifting a finger.

What you get out of it

  • A habit that needs no willpower

    The email is waiting when you start work, so the routine does not depend on remembering. Habits that arrive on their own tend to last far longer than ones that depend on you.

  • Fresh ideas on tap

    Each day's answer is different, so writers, marketers and teachers get a new angle or prompt without brainstorming one first. That makes slow mornings productive. A different angle each morning keeps the exercise from feeling like homework.

  • Fast, cheap responses

    Groq models answer quickly, so the email is ready well before you wake up. The built-in AI step means there is no key or billing to manage yourself. There is nothing to configure beyond the prompt, and no billing account to look after.

  • Your prompt, your tone

    You decide what you want, whether that is a plan, a stoic quote, a coding kata or a vocabulary word, so the email fits your actual day and not a generic feed.

  • Easy to adjust over time

    If the output gets stale, you rewrite the prompt in a sentence and the next morning's email changes. Small experiments cost nothing. Because the prompt is stored as plain text, it takes seconds to test a new angle and drop it again if it does not work.

  • Useful for teaching and coaching

    Teachers and coaches can use a daily practice question, warm-up or discussion starter, written to the level of their group. The email becomes the first item on a class plan with no preparation.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. Every morning, ClickRuntime sends your saved prompt to a Llama model on Groq.

  2. The model writes a short motivational note and a three-item plan for your workday.

  3. The note and plan are emailed to you, ready before you start.

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. Your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.
  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

Changes you can ask for

  • Run it at a different time, more or less often, or only on weekdays
  • Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
  • Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
  • Combine it with other Groq steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

FAQ

Common questions

Will I get different content every day?
Responses vary because the model generates a new answer each time. If you want to avoid repeats, ask for the prompt to mention the date or a rotating theme, like a different weekday focus. That gives variety even when the prompt stays the same.
Can I send it to someone else, like my team?
Yes, the recipient can be any address or several. A manager might send a daily motivation line to a team, though check that people want it before adding them. A shared inbox or distribution list also works for the purpose.
Does it need a Groq account?
No separate account or key is needed. The AI step uses ClickRuntime's built-in AI, so you only set the prompt and the delivery time. The schedule time is set when you create it, and you can move it later by describing the new time.
What permissions does it need?
API key. Nothing else in your accounts is used.
Does it need AI?
No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.
How many runs does it use?
One run each time it runs (daily). Checks that find nothing to do and stop right away aren't counted.
Can I change how it works?
Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
