Things to say on day one
Each of these is a real message you could send a helper. Copy it, or open xAI’s ready-made version and add it to your own Grok Bot with one click.
Inbox helper
“Go through my inbox every morning, sort out what's urgent, and write replies for me to check.”
Your assistant
“Read my messages, email and calendar overnight and tell me the three things that matter today.”
Meeting prep
“Before each meeting, put together who's coming, what we said last time, and what's still open.”
Finding candidates
“Look for people who'd suit this role, write a first message in my voice, and leave me a shortlist.”
Expenses
“Every Friday, pull the week's expenses together and chase anyone who hasn't sent a receipt.”
Ticket sorting
“Check the support queue twice a day, draft the replies, and only message me if something looks serious.”
Travel
“Find flights and a hotel for Chicago next month within my usual budget, check with me, then book it.”
Subscriptions
“Go through my receipts and find every subscription I'm paying for. Suggest what to cancel.”
Your first job
Choose something small you already do well
The first job sets the pattern for everything after it. Think of one, then tick what’s true of it:
Your job matches
0/4
Tick the ones that describe the job you have in mind.
If it matches three or four, it’s probably a good first job.
Sorting an inbox into piles, pulling the week’s expenses together, prepping a meeting: all three fit. Not sure? See six good first jobs.
Starting out
Your first week
A calm way in, whether it’s just you or a whole team. Start small, learn what works, then hand over more.
01 / 04 · Day 1
Observe
Pick one small job you already do well, so you'd spot a mistake straight away.
- 01Only log it into the accounts that one job needs — not everything at once.
- 02Decide who it should come to when something looks odd.
What you’re learning
Whether it understands the job the way you do, before it touches anything that matters.
02 / 04 · Days 2–3
Delegate
Let it write drafts only at first. Nothing sends, nothing pays, nothing gets deleted.
- 01Do the job once with it watching, then let it copy you.
What you’re learning
How closely it copies your way of working, and where it improvises.
03 / 04 · Days 4–5
Refine
Let it copy you for the rest of the week while you check the results.
- 01Read what it did each morning.
What you’re learning
The small corrections that become how it does the job tomorrow.
04 / 04 · Days 6–7
Loosen
When you stop finding problems, loosen the reins.
- 01Keep the real decisions — money, sending, deleting — behind your approval.
What you’re learning
What it can safely own, and what should always come back to you.
After week one
You don’t need twenty helpers.
You need a few jobs that run quietly and reliably save you time. Add the next one only when the last one has stopped surprising you, and keep the real decisions — money, sending, deleting — behind your approval.
