A paper day plan: let Grok Bot print your morning page

Starting the day on a screen means starting it in notifications.

What hurt

Matt Palmer (@mattyp) gave Grok Bot access to a printer through his desktop. It pulls his calendar, X, and workouts into a daily plan and prints it, and he automated it. His video walks through each part. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

The bot lives on a cloud computer, so it prints through a computer at home that has the printer and lets the bot run there. Prototype one page by hand first — calendar, X, workouts — then turn it into a morning routine. His chapters: prototyping (1:18), printer access through desktop (2:02), pulling calendar, X, and workouts (2:55), automating (3:46).

Bots

  • No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.

Plugins

  • Calendar

    Optional

  • X

    Optional

Routines

  • Morning paper plan. Every morning before you get up (you pick the time). Pull calendar, X, and workouts into one page and print it.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/mattyp/status/2107486048154738995 (credit @mattyp).
  2. 2Watch his video chapters: printer access through desktop (2:02) and pulling calendar, X, and workouts (2:55).
  3. 3Pick a computer at home that is on in the morning and already prints, and allow your bot to run on it.
  4. 4Ask the bot for one page with today's calendar, a few X items, and your workout, and print it once by hand.
  5. 5When the page looks right, make it a morning routine (his automating chapter is at 3:46).

Approval fence

Printing is low-risk, but the home computer is now reachable by your bot. Allow only what the job needs on that machine.

What to tweak

Paper you can see on the desk beats one more notification.
