Work
Every bot starts on Read; only earned bots climb to Draft, then Send
Teams either keep every bot on a leash or let one send mail on day one.
What hurt
Eric Osiu (@ericosiu) puts every Grok Bot on a three-step ladder. Read: look at everything, change nothing (Pre-Call Intelligence lives here). Draft: prepare work a person must approve (Outreach Agent, AEO/SEO Bot). Send: only Sponsorship Deal Desk sits here, with written reply rules, price floor, and authority — anything outside still lands with a human. Only one bot may send without prior approval. Deciding the rung is the first useful step for a marketing team. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Read → Draft → Send ladder; climb only when earned; write Send rules ahead of time.
Bots
Pre-Call Intelligence
Read-only decision cards before big meetings.
Outreach Agent
Drafts outreach; never sends without approval.
Deal Desk
Only Send-rung bot; stays inside written price and reply rules.
Plugins
Gmail
Optional
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/ericosiu/status/2110740007417720950 (credit @ericosiu).
- 2List every bot and assign Read, Draft, or Send — default new bots to Read.
- 3Write what 'good' and 'out of bounds' mean before any bot climbs a rung.
- 4Keep at most one Send bot, with price floor and reply rules on paper first.
- 5Review weekly: demote anything that burned trust.
Approval fence
Anything above a bot's rung waits for a human. Send rules are written before you promote it.
What to tweak
Steal the three rungs and the 'only one Send bot' limit.
