Grok @bot prompt: A method to identify repetitive tasks and automate them

AI summary

Eric Zakariasson shared a prompt used in the Grok @bot that asks Grok to search the user's emails, meetings, Slack messages, and edited documents from the past two weeks, list repetitively performed tasks, and group them by type. The prompt requires that for each task it state the execution frequency and time per occurrence, as well as whether Grok can handle it partially or fully and what access permissions are needed; finally, it ranks them by time saved to select the 3 tasks that should be automated first, and suggests a routine or dedicated bot for each.

Body

try this prompt in grok @bot:

Look through my work from the last two weeks: emails I sent, meetings, Slack messages, docs I edited, and anything else you can see.

List the tasks I did more than once, grouped by type. For each one, tell me: - what the task is, in one line - how often I did it - roughly how long it takes me each time - whether you could do it for me, partly or fully, and what you'd need access to

Then pick the top 3 to automate first, ranked by time saved, and suggest a routine or a dedicated bot for each.
