What this is

A real workflow someone ran with an AI agent. Copy the prompt into your agent, connect the listed tools, and it runs for you.

  1. Copy the prompt below.
  2. Paste it into your agent (we recommend Grok Bot) and connect the tools listed: Slack/DMs.
  3. Run it once, check the result, then put it on a schedule if it repeats.

What you get

Source reports 42 DMs handled and 9 drafts written.

The prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Go through my unread Telegram DMs asking for introductions; draft a reply to each (ask me before sending anything sensitive). Then review the drafts in [folder] and leave inline comments.

Recommended

Try it in Grok Bot

  1. Copy the prompt (button below).
  2. Open Grok Bot chat and paste it. Replace any [bracketed] placeholders.
  3. Connect the listed tools (Slack/DMs) as connectors when Grok Bot asks.
  4. If the task repeats, ask: “Make this a daily routine.”

Alternatives: the same prompt works in Claude Cowork, Claude, ChatGPT Agent, OpenClaw.

Pitfalls & reliability

  • Single launch-week anecdote.

Evidence

Specific counts (42 DMs, 9 drafts). This is a single anecdote from launch week. The similar viral 'freed 14GB, filed my taxes' post by @giffmana was excluded as likely parody.
