Set up an AI secretary for daily admin
One user ran Grok Bot as an always-on secretary to handle inboxes, calendars, and other admin work.
- What they did
- They put Grok Bot to work through Cursor’s $20 Pro plan and treated it like a personal assistant for routine operations. It helped sort and review several inboxes and calendars, organize their schedule, and support IT, logistics, finance, and controller-style tasks.
- How it went
- They found it useful enough to rely on as a full-time secretary. The downside was usage: they reached the weekly limit in 2 days and spent $10 in extra credits in about 2 hours, so they were unsure the cheaper plan would hold up.
- Tips
- This kind of setup can run through a budget fast, so watch caps closely. Build in a pause before any sending, booking, or payment step.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Act as my personal secretary for the next [time period]. Every morning at [time], give me a short briefing with: 1) today’s calendar, 2) emails or messages that need replies, and 3) bills, deadlines, or follow-ups due in the next [number] days. Sort tasks by urgency, suggest what I should handle first, and draft replies or schedule changes for my approval. Before you send, book, pay, submit, delete, or make any other irreversible change, stop and ask me to confirm. Use these details: [my inboxes], [my calendars], [my priorities], [any files or systems you may access].
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
