Personal
A postmaster bot that forwards receipts to your shopper, meal, and budget bots
Receipts and brand emails are useful data, but reading them yourself is a waste of time.
What hurt
Nick Dobos (@NickADobos) no longer reads his email; an agent filters it and he does a weekly inbox-zero sweep. He now opts into email receipts so his postmaster email bot can forward them: coffee receipts get logged into his diet plan, grocery receipts into his meal planner's pantry inventory, purchases to his trinket shopper bot, and all of it into his budget bot. The shopper also watches brand marketing emails and only tells him about real sales or new releases. He also has Grok Bot build him a custom X feed every morning. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
One postmaster routes; each downstream bot owns one ledger. More email becomes more data, not more reading.

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/NickADobos/status/2110444173027623407 (credit @NickADobos).
- 2Create a postmaster bot that reads incoming mail and decides where each receipt goes.
- 3Create 1–2 downstream bots (meal planner, budget) with their own ledgers.
- 4Opt into email receipts at the shops you use most.
- 5Do a weekly inbox sweep yourself after the bots have sorted it.
Approval fence
Bots log and summarize; purchases and replies still wait for you.
What to tweak
Steal the postmaster → specialist bots routing.
