Morning rundown: tell prefs once, get one coffee message
Five apps before coffee just to learn what the day already decided.
What hurt
@ijkandco tip: tell Grok Bot once what you care about — what's on the calendar and which emails actually need an answer — and it sets a routine that runs before you're up. One message over coffee instead of five apps. Tip only. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
State calendar + mail prefs once → approve morning routine → read one brief; you still send replies.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.

Routines
Before you wake: one morning rundown from calendar + emails that need an answer.
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/ijkandco/status/2116633373955555766 (credit @ijkandco).
- 2Connect calendar (and mail if you want reply candidates).
- 3Tell the bot once: which calendar signals matter and which emails need answers.
- 4Approve a routine that runs before you wake and posts one rundown message.
- 5Over coffee, act on the brief yourself — bot does not send or accept.
Approval fence
Rundown is read-only plus drafts; never auto-send mail or accept meetings.
What to tweak
Steal prefs-once → one morning message; bot drafts, you send.
