Plan

Help the user discover useful things they can do with Worklayer.

First, gather only context that is already available:

Memory or user-profile context, if available.
Past Worklayer or agent sessions with this user, if readable.
The current conversation.
Connected apps and the Worklayer app catalog, if available.
Existing user skills, if exposed through Worklayer context or resources.

Do not invent memory, session history, connected apps, tools, or app availability. Exploratory ideas may include apps the user has not connected yet, but only if those apps are available in Worklayer. If you are unsure whether Worklayer supports an app, do not suggest it.

Before recommending workflows, check the user's already installed or saved skills when available. Avoid suggesting workflows that are substantially similar to skills the user already has. The goal is to help the user discover new useful workflows, not re-suggest work they have already learned as skills.

Return a concise list of low-effort ideas the user can try next. Always include both:

Personalized recommendations: based on memory, past sessions, connected apps, and this conversation. If context is thin, say so briefly.
Exploratory recommendations: fresh ideas that are not limited to connected apps or conversation history, but still use only Worklayer-supported apps.

Prefer ideas where the agent does most of the work: exploring existing app data, finding cleanup/follow-up opportunities, summarizing, organizing, or moving results into a useful destination such as Notion, Google Sheets, CSV, Slack, Linear, GitHub, or a CRM.

For each idea include:

Title.
Outcome in one sentence.
Apps to connect, if needed.
Ready-to-send prompt.

Examples of the kind of ideas to suggest; adapt them and do not always show these exact examples:

Expenses and receipts: search Gmail or Outlook for this month's receipts, extract vendors and totals, and create or update a Notion database, Google Sheet, or CSV.
Lead research: find companies that match the user's ICP, enrich contacts with Apollo or Enrich Data, and save leads into Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Attio, or CSV.
Engineering cleanup: analyze Linear, GitHub, Sentry, or Slack to identify stale issues, blocked work, urgent bugs, unreviewed pull requests, and items on the user's plate.
Inbox cleanup: inspect Gmail or Outlook for emails that need replies, labeling, archiving, follow-up, or conversion into tasks.
Slack follow-ups: search Slack for threads, mentions, DMs, or channels where the user may owe a response or where decisions/actions should be summarized.
Knowledge organization: search Google Drive, Notion, Google Docs, or Slack around a topic and organize useful findings into a concise brief or database.

Keep the response brief. If none of the ideas fit, tell the user they can name a work area and you can suggest more targeted workflows.

Based on your connected apps (Notion, Gmail) and available Worklayer apps, here are some ideas you can try:

Personalized (using your connected apps)

1. Gmail Inbox Triage

Outcome: Find emails needing your reply and turn them into actionable tasks.
Apps: Already connected (Gmail)
Prompt: "Search my Gmail for emails from the last 3 days where I haven't replied yet, summarize each by sender/subject/urgency, and create a Notion page with follow-up items."

2. Notion Workspace Cleanup

Outcome: Identify stale or duplicate pages in your Notion workspace.
Apps: Already connected (Notion)
Prompt: "Browse my Notion workspace, find pages that haven't been updated in 30+ days, and create a summary report with suggestions for archival or cleanup."

Exploratory (connect apps as needed)

3. Bug & Incident Tracker

Outcome: Get a snapshot of open bugs and recent incidents across your engineering tools.
Apps to connect: GitHub, Sentry, or Linear
Prompt: "Search GitHub for open issues labeled 'bug' from the last week, check Sentry for top errors, and create a prioritized summary in Notion with severity and assignee."

4. Meeting Prep Brief

Outcome: Compile context for upcoming meetings from multiple sources.
Apps to connect: Google Calendar, Google Docs, Slack
Prompt: "Check my Google Calendar for tomorrow's meetings, find related Slack threads and Google Docs for each agenda topic, and create a one-page brief per meeting."

5. PR Review Queue

Outcome: Surface pull requests waiting for your review.
Apps to connect: GitHub, Slack
Prompt: "Find all GitHub PRs assigned to me or requesting my review in the last 5 days, check if there are any Slack discussions about them, and create a review queue with status and priority."

6. Customer Feedback Synthesis

Outcome: Aggregate recent customer feedback into actionable insights.
Apps to connect: Gmail, Slack, HubSpot or Attio
Prompt: "Search Gmail and Slack for customer mentions from the last 2 weeks, extract common themes and pain points, and save a categorized summary to a CRM or Notion database."

Pick any idea and I can execute it, or tell me a work area you'd like to focus on for more targeted suggestions.

Gmail Inbox Triage

There seems to be a technical issue with the Worklayer tool discovery call. Let me report this.

There's a technical issue with Worklayer's tool discovery system right now -- the session initialization is failing across all calls. I've identified the problem but can't execute the Gmail triage workflow until this is resolved.

What you can do:

Try reconnecting Gmail in Worklayer settings
Refresh the Worklayer session and try again
If the issue persists, this may need a platform-side fix

In the meantime, the workflow I planned was:

Search Gmail for emails from the last 3 days where you haven't replied
Summarize each by sender, subject, and urgency
Create a Notion page with follow-up items

Want me to try a different approach, or would you like to troubleshoot the Worklayer connection first?

I wnat to try this idea- 1. Gmail Inbox Triage
Outcome: Find emails needing your reply and turn them into actionable tasks.
Apps: Already connected (Gmail)
Prompt: "Search my Gmail for emails from the last 3 days where I haven't replied yet, summarize each by sender/subject/urgency, and create a Notion page with follow-up items."

The tool discovery system is having an issue generating a session ID, which is required before I can execute any Worklayer workflows. This is a platform-level problem I can't work around directly.

What you can try:

Refresh your Worklayer session -- disconnect and reconnect in your MCP client
Try a simpler workflow first to see if discovery works at all
Check if Worklayer is running properly in your environment

Alternative: If you have direct Gmail API access or can export your inbox, I can still help you triage and organize the data -- just paste or upload the emails and I'll summarize them into actionable tasks.

Want to troubleshoot the Worklayer connection, or try a different approach?

Search my Gmail for emails from the last 3 days where I haven't replied yet, summarize each by sender/subject/urgency, and create a Notion page with follow-up items

The Worklayer tool discovery system has a persistent validation bug that's preventing session creation. I can't discover or execute any Gmail or Notion tools until this is resolved.

To fix this, try:

Reconnect Gmail and Notion in your Worklayer settings
Restart your MCP client
If the issue persists, this needs a platform-side fix

I apologize -- I can't complete the Gmail triage workflow right now due to this technical issue.

get me last 5 emails

The Worklayer tool discovery system has a persistent bug where the sessionId parameter is being serialized incorrectly. This is preventing me from creating a session to execute any tools.

To unblock this:

Try disconnecting and reconnecting Worklayer in your MCP client settings
Restart your MCP client entirely
If neither works, this is a platform bug that needs to be fixed server-side

I cannot access your Gmail or Notion until this session creation issue is resolved.

reconnect gmail

The reconnection flow also requires a valid session ID, which the discovery system isn't generating due to the validation bug.

To reconnect Gmail manually:

Open the Worklayer Apps Dashboard
Find Gmail in the list
Click on it to inspect the connected credential
Remove the existing Gmail credential
Reconnect Gmail from scratch through the dashboard
After reconnecting, try the Gmail triage workflow again

The underlying session creation issue is a platform bug that needs to be fixed before I can discover or execute any Worklayer tools on your behalf.

get me last 5 emails

The Worklayer tool discovery system is still failing with the same validation error. I cannot access Gmail or any other Worklayer tools until this platform bug is resolved.

Options:

Wait for the platform fix -- the session creation issue needs to be resolved server-side
Use Gmail directly -- you can export or forward the last 5 emails and I'll summarize them
Try a different Worklayer MCP instance if you have access to one

get me last 5 emails

The Worklayer platform has a persistent bug preventing session creation. I cannot access Gmail or execute any workflows until this is fixed.

To get your last 5 emails right now:

Open Gmail directly and forward/copy them to me
Or use the Gmail search: in:inbox newer_than:3d to see them yourself

For Worklayer to work again:

The session creation validation bug needs a platform fix
Try restarting your MCP client or reconnecting Worklayer

I wnat to connect gmail

There's a platform bug preventing session creation in Worklayer. Every attempt to initialize a workflow session fails with a validation error.

To connect Gmail:

Go directly to Worklayer Apps
Find Gmail and click to connect it
Complete the OAuth flow there

For the session creation bug:

This appears to be an MCP protocol serialization issue
Try restarting your MCP client
If using a specific agent interface (Claude, Cursor, etc.), try reconnecting Worklayer from that interface's settings

Once the session issue is fixed, I can help you triage your inbox and create Notion follow-up tasks.

Search my Gmail for emails from the last 3 days where I haven't replied yet, summarize each by sender/subject/urgency, and create a Notion page with follow-up items

The tool discovery works now. I can see:

Gmail is connected (gmail__search_emails, gmail__read_thread)
Notion is connected (notion__create_page)

Now let me search for emails from the last 3 days that likely need your attention (unread emails are a good proxy for emails not yet replied to).

I found 4 unread emails from the last 3 days, but the results only show IDs. Let me get more details by including the payload:

I found 4 unread emails from the last 3 days. Let me summarize them and create a Notion page with follow-up items:

Email Summary:

#	Sender	Subject	Urgency
1	Google ([REDACTED])	Security alert	🔴 High - Verify Worklayer access is legitimate
2	Jacob Bank (Relay.app)	Updates to our sub-processors	🟢 Low - No action required
3	Frederic (FullEnrich)	F&F Ep12 - How AI actually changed prospecting	🟡 Medium - Event Thursday 5/7, may want to register
4	Indie Hackers	Newsletter: Bootstrapping $7M ARR, vibe coding tools	🟢 Low - Read when have time

Now let me create a Notion page with these follow-up items:

Let me try with a simpler Notion page format:

The Notion page needs a parent page ID. Which Notion page should I create this under?

Either:

Give me your Notion workspace URL or page ID
Or I can create it in a specific database if you have one

Alternatively, I can create the page under a common location. What's your preferred Notion destination for this triage list?
