Free Grok Bot prompts for small business owners. Take what you want.

Why it helps: Short, fixed review slots keep you in charge while the bots do the rest.

Job: Set up my review rhythm: a morning brief with drafts to approve, a Monday priorities session, a Friday weekly report, and a monthly review of results and competitors.
Inputs: All bot reports, drafts waiting for approval, my calendar.
Output: Each slot arrives as one message with only what needs me.
Schedule: Daily 7 AM, Monday 8 AM, Friday 3 PM, first business day of the month.
Boundary: Drafts only. Nothing goes out without my approval in one of these slots.
Test: Show me what tomorrow morning's brief would contain right now.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Add it as a routine (on your main assistant or a specialist bot) on the schedule in the prompt.
2. Connect Gmail, Calendar.

Source: @cyrilXBT

Why it helps: Drafting it from what already happened in Slack, notes and the calendar gives leaders one clear picture on time.

Job: Every Thursday afternoon, draft this week's update for my team: what shipped, what is blocked, key decisions, and next week's focus.
Inputs: Slack channels [LIST], meeting notes, trackers and my calendar for this week.
Output: A short draft with a link next to every item. Mark anything you could not confirm.
Schedule: Thursdays at 3 PM, plus a reminder to the team on Friday morning (drafted for me to post).
Boundary: Draft only. Do not post or send.
Test: Draft last week's update and show me.

You rebuild the same summary by hand, or you stop looking until something goes wrong.

Why it helps: Grok Bot can now build reports, memos and dashboards as a page. Ask once, edit it together, and have the bot keep it current, so the page is already right when you open it.

Job: Build one page for me called [PAGE NAME] and keep it up to date.
Inputs: [THE SOURCES, for example accounting, CRM, calendar, inbox, project board].
Output: A one-screen page with the numbers I check each week, what changed since last time, three things that need me, and a source link for every number.
Schedule: Refresh every weekday morning, plus whenever I ask.
Boundary: Read-only on every source. Mark any number you could not verify instead of guessing. Never send the page to anyone.
Test: Build the first version now from last week's data and list the source behind each number.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Ask your main assistant for the page in plain words, then edit it together until it reads right.
2. Connect each source read-only first.
3. Ask it to keep the page up to date, and check one number against the source each week.

Source: @bot (official)

Why it helps: Clear ownership, simple first tasks and promotion based on evidence make bots reliable.

Job: For each new bot, write a one-page job description: what it owns, what it never touches, its first three simple tasks, and what proof it needs to show before getting more access.
Inputs: The job I describe.
Output: The job description and a 30-day trial checklist.
Schedule: Once per new bot; review at 30 days.
Boundary: Start read-only. Widen access only after I approve the evidence.
Test: Write the job description for an inbox triage bot.

1. Create a new bot for this job, or ask your main assistant to create it for you.

Source: @grok · Also: Ree-Source

Why it helps: Run it by hand until it is reliable, then schedule it for the days and hours you are actually around.

Job: Before turning any task into a routine, run it by hand three times and show me the results. Then schedule it on weekdays and my working hours unless I say otherwise.
Inputs: The task and the three trial results.
Output: A go or no-go note and the proposed schedule.
Schedule: Before every new routine.
Boundary: If anything fails during a run, send me paste-ready text I can send myself instead of retrying silently.
Test: Apply this to my newest routine and tell me if it passes.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Paste it into your main assistant and ask it to apply the rule to every bot on your team.

Source: @Michael_Fenech_ · Also: @ALL_Jonah

Why it helps: Your Main Assistant - Chief of Staff already knows your rules, so it can write a new bot that fits the team in one step.

Job: When I describe a repeatable job, design a new specialist bot for it: name, one-line purpose, job description, connectors it needs, schedule, and boundaries.
Inputs: My description of the job, my existing bots and their rules.
Output: A proposed bot card for my review, then the bot itself once I approve.
Schedule: On request.
Boundary: Propose first, build only after I say yes. New bots start read-only and draft-only.
Test: Propose a new bot dedicated only to watching my inbox for invoices. Show me the card and wait.

Dates get guessed instead of checked.

Why it helps: A simple written-record rule catches the misses before they waste a day.

Job: Apply a written-record rule to every bot on my team: a task is only done when the result is saved where I can see it, every voice call is summarized in chat, and dates are worked out from stored facts, never guessed.
Inputs: All bot conversations and voice calls.
Output: A short summary in chat after every call, and a 'saved where' line on every finished task.
Schedule: Always on. Weekly spot check every Friday.
Boundary: If a bot cannot show where something was saved, mark it not done and tell me.
Test: Pick the last three tasks marked done this week and show me where each result was saved.

Why it helps: One job done well builds trust and shows you what to hand off next.

Job: Run one low-risk job for me (for example meeting prep or a weekly summary) with read-only access and my approval on everything.
Inputs: Only the accounts this job needs.
Output: The weekly result plus a short note on what went well and what to fix.
Schedule: Weekly. Review together after 30 days.
Boundary: Read-only. Drafts only. No new connectors without asking.
Test: Tell me which single job you would start with based on my calendar and inbox, and why.

1. Create a new bot for this job, or ask your main assistant to create it for you.
2. Connect Gmail, Calendar.
3. After 30 days, decide whether to widen access or add the next job.

Source: Ree-Source

Why it helps: Talking through your day is faster than writing, and it gives the bot what it needs: what you love, what drains you, and what you will not hand off.

Job: I will send you a voice memo about my day: how I spend my time, what I love doing, what I do not like, and the parts I refuse to automate. Turn it into a plan for a small bot team.
Inputs: My voice memo, plus my calendar for the last two weeks if I connect it.
Output: A short plan: 3 to 5 bots, each with one job, what it reads, its schedule, and where it must stop and ask me. Start with the safest, most time-saving one.
Schedule: Once.
Boundary: Plan only. Do not create bots or routines until I approve each one.
Test: Summarize my memo back to me in five lines before you propose anything.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Record a 5 to 10 minute voice memo about your day and send it, with the prompt, to your Main Assistant - Chief of Staff.
2. Approve one bot at a time, starting with the first in the plan.
3. Run each new bot by hand a few times before giving it a schedule.

Source: Grok Bot for Post-Sales guide (x.ai)

Why it helps: Ranking tasks by time saved and risk points you at the safe, boring job that pays back first.

Job: Study what I did this week and find what is worth automating. For each repeated task, tell me how often I do it, how long it takes, what triggers it, which apps it needs, what could go wrong, and whether I should keep it, have a bot prepare it, approve it before a bot acts, or automate it fully.
Inputs: My calendar, sent email and chat for the last 7 days, plus a list I write of what I check and repeat every day.
Output: A ranked list, safest and biggest time saver first.
Schedule: Once, then every Sunday: which routines saved time, which needed help, and what I still do by hand that could be next.
Boundary: Read-only. Suggest only.
Test: Rank my top 5 candidates from the last 3 days only.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Create a new bot for this job, or add it as a routine on an existing bot.
2. Connect Calendar, email and chat (read-only).
3. Pick the top task, run it by hand 5 times, add every mistake to the instructions, then make it a routine.

Source: @Axel_bitblaze69

Why it helps: Treating each project like a small team, with its own channel, board and roster, keeps signal apart from noise.

Job: You are my Projects Manager. When I start a project, create a channel for it, add an entry to my Projects board, and propose a roster from my existing bots. Keep the Tasks board current and ping me in the channel when a task is blocked.
Inputs: My bots and what each does, and my Projects and Tasks databases in [NOTION OR SHEETS].
Output: A project channel with the roster, a board entry, and short updates when tasks move or get blocked.
Schedule: On request, then check the boards every afternoon.
Boundary: Reuse existing bots first. Propose at most five bots per project. Create a new bot only when nothing fits, and only after I say yes.
Test: Set up one small project with me and show me the proposed roster before creating anything.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Create a new bot for this job, or add it as a routine on an existing bot.
2. Connect Notion or Sheets for the Projects and Tasks boards.

Source: How I run multiple teams of Grok Bots (x.ai)

Why it helps: A template shares the recipe (instructions, skills, plugins), not your logins or private memory.

Job: Help me package [BOT NAME] as a template for my team. Review its instructions, skills, memories and plugins, and list what should be included and what is personal or internal and should stay out.
Inputs: The bot's settings, skills and memory.
Output: A short list of what goes in the template, what stays out, and setup notes a teammate will need (which apps to connect, which keys they need their own copy of).
Schedule: Once per bot.
Boundary: Do not publish anything. I review the details and choose Team or public myself.
Test: Show me the include and exclude list for this bot.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Open the bot's settings and choose Share as Template.
2. Open View Details and check every memory, skill and plugin listed.
3. Choose Team for internal bots. Publish only after you have read the details.
4. Send teammates the link and ask them to reconnect their own apps.

Most runs find nothing, the useful ones get buried, and the bot is busy when real work arrives.

Why it helps: One front-door bot listens for real events (a new email, a Slack message, a form, a webhook) and drops the ones that do not matter. Specialist bots start only when there is real work, and anything risky stops at a draft for you.

Job: Review my routines and replace timer checks with event triggers wherever an event exists. Set up one router bot that receives events and hands real work to the right specialist.
Inputs: My current routines and their schedules, my connected apps (email, Slack, GitHub, forms or webhooks), and the specialist bots I already have.
Output: A table of my routines: keep on a schedule, switch to an event, or delete, with one line on why. For the router: which events it listens to, which ones it ignores on purpose, and which bot gets each kind of work.
Boundary: Change nothing until I approve the table. Specialists draft only; sending, publishing, paying and deleting wait for my yes. Keep true schedule jobs (a Monday report, a month-end close) on a schedule.
Test: Send one test event through the router and show me which bot picked it up and what it produced.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Start with the routine that runs most often and finds the least.
2. Use a routine with an event trigger instead of a timer where your app offers one.
3. Keep every specialist on drafts only for the first two weeks, then review what the router ignored.

Source: @irongiantXBT

Why it helps: When your main assistant only brings you decisions and finished work waiting for a yes, you can clear everything in a few minutes. A review step between bots catches problems before they reach you.

Job: You are my main assistant. Only message me about two things: "Need you" (a decision or a yes from me) and "Ship-ready" (finished work waiting for my approval). Before anything is Ship-ready, have a second bot review it and mark it PASS, or send it back with what to fix.
Inputs: Updates from every bot on my team.
Output: One short batched message: Need you items first, then Ship-ready items, each with one line and a link. Everything else goes in a short list at the end of the 4 PM message.
Schedule: Weekdays at 9 AM, 1 PM and 4 PM.
Boundary: Everything stays a draft until I give an exact yes. Nothing is published, sent, paid or transferred without it.
Test: Sort what is open right now into Need you and Ship-ready and show me the first batch.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Paste it into your main assistant and ask it to apply the rule to every bot on your team.
2. Pick which bot reviews which kind of work, for example your fact-checker reviews posts before they are Ship-ready.
3. Keep every bot on drafts only.

Why it helps: A weekly nudge on the one bottleneck keeps your attention on the work that matters most.

Job: Each week, look at what my bots saw (sales, delivery, cash, support, my calendar) and name the single biggest constraint in the business right now.
Inputs: Weekly reports from my other bots and my calendar.
Output: One message: the constraint, the evidence, and one suggested next step.
Schedule: Sundays at 6 PM.
Boundary: Suggest only. Do not change anything.
Test: Tell me what you think the constraint was last week and why.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Add it as a routine (on your main assistant or a specialist bot) on the schedule in the prompt.
2. Connect Calendar.

Source: @DeepBlueCrypto

Why it helps: Sorting each item into keep, teach, systemize or automate shows what to hand off next.

Job: Find where I'm the bottleneck. Look at repeat approvals, questions I answer the same way, manual handoffs, and checks I do by hand.
Inputs: My email, calendar, chat and task history.
Output: Each item sorted into: Keep me in, Teach, Systemize, Automate, or Escalate only.
Schedule: Weekly on Fridays.
Boundary: Change nothing until I approve.
Test: Run it on the last two weeks.

Why it helps: A draft built from what already happened turns a dreaded evening into a 20-minute edit.

Job: Once a month, draft my investor update: key numbers, wins, misses, what we learned, and the asks.
Inputs: My deal tracker, revenue sheet, last month's update, and my bots' weekly digests.
Output: A draft in [GOOGLE DOCS] in the same format as last month, with every number linked to its source and anything unverified marked.
Schedule: First business day of each month.
Boundary: Draft only. Never send it or share the doc.
Test: Draft last month's update from what you can find and mark every gap.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Create a new bot for this job, or add it as a routine on an existing bot.
2. Connect Drive or Docs and your revenue sheet.

Source: Grok Bot for Founder-Led Sales guide (x.ai)

Why it helps: A scored, sourced sheet lets you spend your time on conversations, not research.

Job: Build and maintain a scored list of investors who fit my company: stage, sector, check pattern, recent deals, warm paths.
Inputs: My company one-pager and public sources.
Output: A sheet with score, reason and source link for each investor.
Schedule: Weekly refresh on Mondays.
Boundary: Research and draft only. Never contact anyone.
Test: Find 10 investors that fit and show your scoring.

Why it helps: Three questions once a week keep the useful routines and retire the noise before it costs you attention.

Job: Every Friday, list each routine on my bots and answer three questions for each: did it run, was the output right, and would I miss it if it stopped.
Inputs: My routines, their recent runs and outputs, and which outputs I opened or acted on.
Output: A short table with the least useful routine named at the top and a suggestion: keep, change or pause. I make the call.
Schedule: Fridays at 4 PM.
Boundary: Suggest only. Do not pause, edit or delete any routine.
Test: Run the review on last week and show me the table.

If something goes wrong, there is nothing to rebuild from.

Why it helps: A plain-text copy of each bot, kept somewhere else, turns a lost setup into an afternoon of rebuilding.

Job: Once a week, write out each bot's profile (name, title, full description), every routine with its schedule and full prompt, every skill, and a summary of its memory into one text file per bot. Ask each bot to document itself; do not assume one bot can see what the others learned.
Inputs: My bots, their routines, skills and memory, and the apps each one connects to.
Output: One file per bot saved to [A FOLDER ON A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT], a connections table (each app, the account it uses, which bots use it, what they may do; names only, never passwords or keys), and a one-page "Start here" rebuild order: reconnect apps, create bots, restore instructions, add skills, then recreate routines paused. One status line every week, even when nothing changed.
Schedule: Sundays at 8 PM.
Boundary: Never copy passwords, keys or tokens into the backup. Check memory for secrets before saving. Do not change any bot. In a rebuild, routines start paused and are turned on one at a time with my approval, after checking what already ran so nothing is sent twice.
Test: Write the backup file for one bot only and show it to me before saving anything.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Create a new bot for this job, or add it as a routine on an existing bot.
2. Connect one storage folder on a separate account.
3. Once a quarter, rebuild one non-critical bot from the backup alone, ask the original and the copy the same three questions about their job, and compare.

Why it helps: Once a week your Main Assistant - Chief of Staff proposes what to add, change or remove, and you just say yes or no.

Job: Every Wednesday, audit my bot team: which routines fired and got ignored, what I asked for by hand three or more times this week, and what should exist and does not.
Inputs: My chats with you, my bots and routines, and what I opened or acted on.
Output: Up to three proposals, each with the evidence and the exact change. I answer yes or no.
Schedule: Wednesdays at 9 AM.
Boundary: Change nothing until I say yes to a specific proposal.
Test: Run the audit on the last two weeks and show me your proposals.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Add this as a routine on your main assistant.
2. Connect your bot team.

Source: Grok Bot for Post-Sales guide (x.ai)

Why it helps: A correction given twice means a rule is missing. Saving it once ends the repeat fixing.

Job: Whenever I correct your work, check whether I have given the same correction before. If I have, propose a short standing rule or a change to the relevant skill.
Inputs: My corrections in our chats and your existing skills and rules.
Output: One line: the rule you propose and where it will live (memory, a skill, or your description).
Schedule: Every time I correct you.
Boundary: Show me the rule before you save it. Never remove an existing rule without asking.
Test: Look back over our last 20 chats and list any correction I made twice.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Paste this into each bot that drafts for you.
2. Connect nothing new; this works inside any bot.

Why it helps: A short daily review of the playbook keeps rules fresh, and a postmortem after each mistake updates every bot at once.

Job: You are my operations bot. Every morning, check in with each bot on my team: review our playbook with it, surface blockers, and remind it of the rules that matter most. When I send you a bot's mistake, find the reasoning that caused it, update the playbook, and tell the other bots what changed.
Inputs: Our team playbook (a doc you maintain), my bots, and the mistakes I report.
Output: A short morning note with blockers. After each postmortem: the cause, the playbook change, and which bots were told.
Schedule: Daily at 6 AM, plus on request.
Boundary: Show me every playbook change before you announce it. Do not change a bot's connectors or permissions.
Test: Write a first playbook from my bots' current descriptions and show it to me.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Create a new bot for this job, or add it as a routine on an existing bot.
2. Connect your bots and one shared doc for the playbook.

Source: Grok Bot for Engineering guide (x.ai)

A deadline moves, a price changes, a client switches contacts, and the bot keeps working from what it learned last month. Nobody notices until a draft goes out with the old date or the old number.

Why it helps: Each bot learns which facts go stale and where the current version lives. It checks the live source before it uses a date, price, name or status, and tells you when memory and the source disagree.

Job: Build a "where to check" list for my bot team, then follow it. For each kind of fact that changes (deadlines, prices, contacts, project status, policies), name the one place that holds the current version.
Inputs: Your memory, my connected apps (calendar, email, CRM, files, accounting), and anything I tell you is the source of truth.
Output: A short table: fact type, where the current version lives, how often it changes. Then, in every future answer, check that source before you use one of those facts, and say "Checked [source] today" next to it. If memory and the source disagree, use the source, update memory, and tell me what changed.
Boundary: Read-only on every source. If a source cannot be reached, say the fact is unverified instead of using memory as if it were current.
Test: Pick three facts you remember about my business. Check each against its source now and show me which ones were out of date.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Paste the prompt to your main assistant first. It can share the table with the other bots.
2. Connect the source apps read-only.
3. Correct the table the first week. Whatever you correct becomes the rule.

Source: @Michael_Fenech_

Why it helps: One Page shows the pairs that talk, the bots everything runs through, and the bots no one talks to. In the poster's own run (as they reported it), the map showed 34 bot pairs, 1 group room, 2 hub bots and 4 bots that talked to no one.

Create a map of how my Grok Bots communicate with each other, as a Page.
Job: Show which bots message each other, which group rooms they share, and which bots most work runs through.
Inputs: My bot list and the messages and group chats between them that you can see.
Output: One Page with a diagram plus a short list: hub bots, group rooms, bots that talk to no one, and pairs that talk most.
Boundary: Read-only. Do not pause, delete or change any bot. Mark anything you could not see instead of guessing.
Test: Name the two bots you think everything runs through and show the messages that tell you so.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Ask your main assistant (Main Assistant - Chief of Staff if you have one), since it sees the most of the team.
2. Use the "talks to no one" list to decide which bots to pause or merge. Decide yourself; the prompt does not change anything.
3. Rerun monthly, or after you add bots, to see what changed.

Source: @GrokBotRadar (fan account, unofficial)

Why it helps: The main assistant drafts its own instructions and proposes the smallest team, so you approve a plan instead of guessing where each job ends.

You're my Main Assistant - Chief of Staff. I want you to give me a list of all the things that a typical chief of staff would be responsible for, then suggest a system prompt that you can install for yourself.
About me: [who you are and what your business does]
Goal: [what you want to accomplish inside Grok Bot]
Suggest the first bots you'd create and what each one owns.
Boundary: Show me the system prompt and the bot list before installing or creating anything. Suggest the fewest bots that cover the work.
Test: For each bot you suggest, tell me why you cannot do that job yourself.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Run this on your Main Assistant - Chief of Staff first, before creating any other bot.
2. Approve the system prompt, then let it create and brief the specialists so it knows the roster.
3. The poster notes you may think you need 4 bots when 2 will do. Start with the fewest.

Source: @coreyganim

Why it helps: The main assistant answers one question first: why can't an existing bot or a skill do this? You only add a bot when the answer is real.

Job: Before I create any new bot, review the request against my current team.
Inputs: The job I want done, my current bot list and what each one owns, and my skills.
Output: One of three answers with reasons: give it to an existing bot (name it), make it a skill on an existing bot, or create a new bot (with its one job, tools and what it must not do).
Boundary: Do not create, change or delete any bot. If you do create one later on my approval, you create it so you know the roster.
Test: Run this on the last bot I created and tell me if it should have been a skill.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Save as a skill or standing instruction on your main assistant.
2. The poster's suggested first five: a main assistant (chief of staff), playbook owner, source of truth, a misc bot, and one specialist for the job you do by hand every week.
3. Pair with card 1: bots that talk to no one are the first candidates to pause.

Source: @spectnfa

Why it helps: Scoping the room to one decision and asking each bot for objections gives you real tradeoffs and a short thread.

Job: In this group room, help me make one decision: [the decision].
Inputs: What each bot in the room owns and knows. [Any numbers or docs to use.]
Output: Each bot gives its view in five lines or less, including one reason the plan could fail. Then the main assistant sums up the options, the disagreement, and its recommendation.
Boundary: Only answer about this decision. Do not take any action, send anything or change any system. Say "no view" if it is outside your job.
Test: Before answering, each bot says in one line what it owns and why it is in this room.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Add only the bots that own part of the decision.
2. Close or archive the room when the decision is made; start a new room for the next one.
3. The source also notes bots say yes to everything; asking for one failure reason each is how this card handles it.

Source: @spectnfa

Why it helps: Each handoff carries objective, scope, what not to touch, expected output and done-when, and a different bot checks the result before it comes to you.

Job: When you hand work to another bot, write a task contract first, and have a different bot check the result before you report it to me.
Inputs: My goal and the bot roster.
Output: For each handoff: objective, scope, what not to touch, expected output, done-when. Then a check note from the checker bot with the evidence it looked at, marked Verified or Not verified.
Boundary: The bot that did the work does not grade itself. If a retry is needed, change something in the contract first. Ask me before anything that spends money, deletes data, posts publicly or sends a message outside the team.
Test: Take this week's goal [goal], show me the contracts you would send, and stop before sending them.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Set on the main assistant (Main Assistant - Chief of Staff).
2. The poster suggests starting with four roles (chief, research, builder, checker) and splitting only when one becomes a bottleneck.
3. The poster notes the tutorial showed a design, not measured results.

Source: @lokzemi

Why it helps: A short audit shows which bots have more access than their job needs and which facts should move into one shared skill.

Job: Audit my bot team's access and standing facts.
Inputs: Each bot's job, connected tools and permissions, and its instructions.
Output: A table: bot, its one job, access it has, access it needs, and a suggested change (read-only first, write later). Then a list of facts repeated across bots that should live in one shared skill.
Boundary: Read-only. Do not change permissions, instructions or skills. I make every change.
Test: Start with the bot that has the most connected tools and explain each permission it uses.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Run on your Main Assistant - Chief of Staff monthly, or after adding a bot.
2. Grant write access one bot at a time after it has run read-only for a while.

Source: @unicodef1wn

Why it helps: The bot reviews each fact from your old assistant with you one at a time and saves only what you confirm.

Job: Move what my old AI assistant knows about me and my business into your memory.
Inputs: An export or pasted list of memories from ChatGPT or another assistant.
Boundary: Show each fact one at a time. Save only what I confirm. Skip passwords, card numbers and health details.
Output: A final list of saved facts, grouped by business, people, preferences, and the ones I skipped.
Test: Read back 5 saved facts and where each came from.

How to set it up (plus the ground rules)

1. Do this with your main assistant (Main Assistant - Chief of Staff) on day one.

Inputs: The outline, our website repository or site builder, and our brand guide.
Output: A pull request or unpublished draft page with screenshots of desktop and mobile.

Why it helps: One gatekeeper that approves and paces every ad account action keeps the other bots from causing damage as you add more.

Test or review it as they would, using available tools.
Find what might confuse, frustrate or disappoint them.
Challenge assumptions I've overlooked.
Give me the 5 biggest weaknesses and specific fixes, ranked by impact.
After I make improvements, test it again.
Separate verified problems from predictions. Don't claim to have performed tests you couldn't complete.

Friends and staff give you polite answers.

Why it helps: A bot that learns how your real customers talk gives you blunt feedback in the words your buyers actually use before anything goes out.

Job: Act as my ideal customer. Learn how my buyers talk from what they actually write and say, then review anything I send you the way that buyer would.
Inputs: Meeting notes and call transcripts, customer emails, reviews, replies and comments on my posts, and [FORUMS OR GROUPS WHERE MY CUSTOMERS TALK].
Output: For each draft: what this buyer would think, in their words; what is unclear; what would make them stop reading; and the one change that would help most. Also keep a short "how my customers talk" profile up to date.
Schedule: On demand for each draft. Mondays at 8 AM, read the forums and groups and add anything new to the profile.
Boundary: Read-only. Never post, comment or reply anywhere. Quote real customer words, and say when you are guessing.

Why it helps: A growing library of examples you love, and a few you do not, gives every bot a clear target, so drafts match your taste instead of everyone else's.

Job: Keep my reference library. When I send you an example I like (a landing page, ad, email, post, thumbnail or design), save it with a short note on what makes it good. When any bot drafts something for me, give it the 3 closest examples to follow and any "do not do" examples to avoid.
Inputs: Links and screenshots I send you, and my notes on why I liked or disliked them.
Output: One library page sorted by type (pages, ads, emails, posts, thumbnails, design). Each item has its link, the date and why it is there.
Schedule: On demand when I send an example. Fridays at 3 PM, a short list of what was added this week.
Boundary: Save and suggest only. Use examples for inspiration. Never copy their words or images.

Cleaning the audio, writing the title and chapters, making a thumbnail and filing it in a playlist eats an afternoon.

Why it helps: A bot can do the prep and leave the video private, so you watch it once and press publish yourself.
