Steps
- In Grok Bot, open the template gallery and search for "Status Report Writer"
- Read the template description, then add it and follow its setup to connect the apps it asks for
- Per the gallery, it pulls open action items from docs, meetings and Slack into one living list and a morning digest
- 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)
- Paste the first prompt below to tailor it to you, then check its first result before you rely on it
Prompt / template
Track my open action items in one list. Pull items assigned to me or promised by me in: [docs, meeting notes, Slack channels]. For each item: what it is, who's waiting on it, where it came from, and the due date if one was stated (don't invent one). Each weekday morning, send me a digest: overdue first, then due this week, then everything else in one line each. When I say an item is done, remove it.
