Work
Map your real bottlenecks first, then automate those: an agency's four boring wins
New agents launch daily, and you end up automating things that never slowed you down.
What hurt
Daniel (@daniielpelaezz) skipped the flashy idea (a daily X news report he'd read anyway) on his first day with Grok Bot and listed the tasks that ate his time without needing much thought. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
His list: drafting daily Slack notices of client posts going out, generating client performance reports, alerting when a client's content schedule dries up, and reviewing links and formatting in Typefully. All of it took about 30 minutes to set up and gives him hours back for writing.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/daniielpelaezz/status/2109032855670038559 (credit @daniielpelaezz).
- 2List the tasks that eat your time each week but need little critical thinking.
- 3Cross off anything you'd do anyway (like reading the feed).
- 4Automate the top one or two as routines that draft, check or alert.
Approval fence
Have notices and reports land as drafts for you to send.
What to tweak
Stop automating for the sake of automating; find the bottleneck first.
