What they did
He cut a 4-hour client research and proposal process to about 15 minutes with Grok Bot. He says the difference wasn't a better prompt. It came from forcing a strict output format, feeding in real constraints (industry, budget, pain points), and making it flag its assumptions before writing the final version.
How it went
A client research brief and proposal in about 15 minutes instead of 4 hours.
Worth knowing
- X post by @Mr7Jax (Oct 26, 2026 Denver time): a strict output format, real constraints and an assumptions check cut his client research and proposal from 4 hours to about 15 minutes.
- Check prices and claims about the client against sources before sending.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Research [client company] ([URL]) for a proposal. Constraints: industry [x], budget [y], pain points [z]. Output exactly: 1) Company snapshot (5 bullets with sources) 2) Their likely problems 3) Proposed scope in 3 tiers with prices within budget 4) Timeline 5) ASSUMPTIONS: every guess you made. Stop after section 5 so I can correct assumptions before you write the final proposal.
