Microsoft Daily Briefing Email from Cortana

The Cortana Briefing email helps users control their calendars, prepare and plan out their day, and make future suggestions. Within a few hours of starting the workday, Cortana will send an email containing any relevant items to help you focus better for the day ahead, including:

• Outstanding commitments, requests, and follow-ups to and from other collaborators in email that might have fallen through the cracks

• Documents related to today’s meetings that you might want to review beforehand

• Suggested focus time you can schedule to help get independent work done

How it works

Briefing messages will be sent from cortana@microsoft.com and have the phrase "Your daily briefing" in the subject line. These briefing emails are personal, private, and are only sent directly to a user's mailbox. Briefing emails do not include any new personally identifiable information about others in your organization. Cortana's suggestions come from an analysis of already available information in your Outlook account that can’t always be quickly retrieved.  

Note: You are the only one who can see insights and productivity suggestions, and you may not receive a daily Briefing if you don't have relevant content or meetings in Outlook. 

The Briefing email looks for actionable tasks in Outlook and includes the top results within the email. If these tasks are related to any upcoming meetings, they’ll be listed in relation to the meeting. Meetings will also have links to any attached or potentially related documents.

Additional information about the Cortana Daily Briefing can be found in this Microsoft Support article.
