BOTCAST

Your AI briefing.
A conversation, too.

Scan the quick hits, read the full summary, then follow your curiosity with questions grounded in the saved briefing and its podcasts.

Try the pilot with your own Google account. Signup is open, with 30 days of access and no invitation required.

Start in Codex

Open a new Codex chat and paste this prompt. Your assistant will guide the first connection, open a briefing, and set up one daily delivery in that same chat.

Your setup prompt

Help me try Botcast in this Codex chat. Use https://getbotcast.com/ for the connection settings and guide me through connecting with my own Google account. Once connected, show the latest saved briefing with compact quick hits, Read full summary and the existing audio if available, then recommend one topic to explore.

Set up one daily briefing at 7 a.m. in my device's local time zone, delivered into this same Codex chat every day. Pin this chat as Botcast. Use a same-chat scheduled follow-up, not a new chat per run. Check existing Botcast or legacy Dotcast schedules first and avoid duplicates; tell me if your inventory cannot cover another host. Verify the saved destination, time zone and next run. Explain that my Mac and the app need to be available. Do not sign me up for email.

Already connected? Use the same prompt in your existing Botcast chat. Want a different time? Change “7 a.m.” before sending.

What happens next

Connect once. Approve Botcast using your own Google account. You may need to add a personal MCP connection if Botcast is not in your plugin directory.
Try a briefing. Read the saved summary, choose a topic, or ask your own question. Some quick hits have only the detail in the summary; the assistant should say when more evidence is unavailable.
Return to one chat. The host schedules a daily follow-up in your Botcast chat. Keep your Mac awake and the app running. A briefing may arrive as text; reply to continue with interactive cards.

First connection settings

In Plugins, choose Add → Add custom MCP server. Availability depends on your account and workspace. Create a personal connection named Botcast using these settings. No ZIP or optional skill is needed.

Server URL: https://morning-walk-pilot.vercel.app/mcp
Authentication: OAuth
Advanced: registration method: User-Defined OAuth Client
OAuth client ID: 26f61636-fa03-4b6e-8eb3-39b9583abdb6
Client secret: Leave blank
Token endpoint auth method: none
Scopes: email only; leave base scopes blank
OIDC: Off. Keep the discovered endpoints and PKCE settings.
Expected callback URL: https://chatgpt.com/connector/oauth/Af_CDCaFwJo3

If the displayed callback differs, stop before creating the connection and ask the person who shared Botcast to check it. Do not substitute another callback, client or account.

Review the host's custom-server notice and choose Create as a plugin. Sign in with Google, review the Botcast consent and approve access. Return to Codex and continue the setup prompt. A new Google login and consent must be completed by you; never paste passwords or tokens into chat.

This is a guided personal installation for the open pilot. Botcast is not yet a public directory listing or a one-click install link. A new-account signup walkthrough is still being verified.

Delivery and access

Connecting alone creates no scheduled task or email subscription. The setup prompt explicitly asks the host to schedule a daily briefing. Pause that task to stop delivery; disconnect Botcast to stop using that connection. Access expires 30 days after first enrollment and does not automatically renew. Your assistant should verify connection and scheduling results before reporting success.
