Task · Grok Bot: chief of staff
Time saved · 30-45 min to set up, then 3-5 hrs a week (estimate, not measured)

ℹ️ Template names and descriptions come from the Grok Bot template gallery as of 2026-10-20. Templates can change; check the gallery description before you rely on a feature.

Steps

  1. In Grok Bot, open the template gallery and search for "Chief of Staff"
  2. Read the template description, then add it and follow its setup to connect the apps it asks for
  3. The gallery describes it as scanning Slack, email, calendar and meeting notes and reporting what's new and what maps to your priorities, each with a source, why it matters and what to do
  4. To have it run on a schedule, ask it to set up a routine; you can see and manage routines in the bot's info pane (click the bot's name in the chat header)
  5. Paste the first prompt below to tailor it to you, then check its first result before you rely on it

Prompt / template

My top priorities this quarter are:
1. [priority]
2. [priority]
3. [priority]
Each weekday at [8:30am], give me a read-out of what's new since the last one. Put items tied to these priorities first. For each item: the source, one line on why it matters, and the next step for me.
Ignore: [e.g. social channels, automated alerts].
Keep it under [10] items. If something needs me today, put it at the very top.
