Enhanced Morning Briefing
Which signals the enhanced briefing adds to your daily Bake Buddy summary, how to turn individual signals on/off, and how fallback works when the AI is unavailable.
What It Adds
Your existing morning briefing on the dashboard already shows today's orders, revenue, stock alerts, and urgent items. The enhanced briefing adds a new AI-narrated "Growth Coach" section below those numbers with 2-4 highlights chosen from five signal categories:
- Revenue — today vs same-day-last-week, weekly trend direction
- Customers — at-risk count, stale VIPs who haven't ordered in 21+ days
- Pricing — products currently flagged below your margin target
- Seasonal — upcoming events within 30 days (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, etc.)
- Products — items trending month-over-month
Example highlights
Revenue is down 18%. Today's $340 vs last Tuesday's $414 — worth a quick look at whether any regulars missed their usual order.
3 at-risk VIPs. Sarah, James, and Priya haven't ordered in 30+ days. Consider a personal follow-up.
Valentine's Day in 18 days. Start promoting romantic dessert boxes and custom cakes now — lead time on pre-orders is a week.
Where You See It
On the main dashboard, below the basic numbers in your morning briefing card. The section has an indigo "Growth Coach" header so it's visually distinct from the built-in signals.
Opt In Per Signal
Each of the five signal categories has its own toggle in Growth Coach settings. Turn off categories you don't want noise from — e.g. if you don't care about seasonal posts, turn off seasonal and the briefing will skip those highlights.
Availability
Growth+ only. Essentials tier sees the basic briefing (same as always). No AI calls fire for Essentials bakeries.
AI Cost
About $0.002 per briefing (Haiku model). Runs once per daily briefing load.
Fallback When AI Fails
The basic briefing always renders. If Haiku times out, is rate-limited, or returns invalid JSON, the Growth Coach section simply doesn't appear — no error, no missing block, just the regular briefing. You wouldn't notice unless you were expecting it.
Privacy
Only aggregate numbers and top-5 VIP names (first name + last name) are sent to the AI — the same data that already appears visibly on your dashboard. No full customer list, no ingredient costs, no order line items.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of insights does the AI Growth Coach provide?▾
The AI Growth Coach analyzes five key areas: revenue performance (daily vs. last week, weekly trends), customer engagement (identifying at-risk VIPs who haven't ordered recently), pricing (flagging products below margin targets), seasonal opportunities (upcoming holidays or events within 30 days), and product trends (month-over-month changes). It then presents 2-4 prioritized highlights to help you make informed decisions.
Where can I find the enhanced morning briefing in BakeOnyx?▾
You'll see the enhanced morning briefing directly on your main dashboard. The AI Growth Coach section appears below the standard metrics like today's orders and revenue. It's visually distinguished by an indigo 'Growth Coach' header, making it easy to spot and differentiate from other dashboard information.
Can I customize which insights the Growth Coach shows me?▾
Yes, you can customize the insights. Each of the five signal categories (Revenue, Customers, Pricing, Seasonal, Products) has an individual toggle in the Growth Coach settings, accessible via your dashboard settings. You can disable categories you don't wish to receive notifications for, ensuring the briefing remains relevant to your priorities.
Is the AI Growth Coach available on all BakeOnyx plans?▾
No, the AI Growth Coach feature is exclusive to the Growth+ tier of BakeOnyx. The Essentials tier provides the basic morning briefing with standard metrics but does not utilize AI calls for the Growth Coach insights. This ensures that advanced AI-driven recommendations are reserved for users on the higher-tier plan.
What happens if the AI fails to generate insights?▾
If the AI encounters an issue, such as timing out, being rate-limited, or returning invalid data, the Growth Coach section will simply not appear. The basic morning briefing will still render as usual. There will be no error message or missing content block, ensuring a seamless user experience even during AI failures.
What data does BakeOnyx send to the AI for analysis?▾
BakeOnyx prioritizes privacy. Only aggregate numbers and the first name and last name of up to five VIP customers are sent to the AI. This is the same data already visible on your dashboard. Sensitive information like full customer lists, ingredient costs, or detailed order line items are not shared with the AI.
