Notes
- This tool is read-only and idempotent — it does not modify any data.
- The "on this day" feature surfaces documents that were added on the same calendar date in previous years, helping you rediscover older content.
- The briefing includes recent additions, new insights discovered since your last check, and historical content.
- Best used at the start of a session to get oriented with your knowledge base.
