What they did
An Australian space engineer in Amsterdam talks to one Grok Bot that starts specialist bots. It reads all his email and WhatsApp groups and shows him only the decisions he needs to make. It keeps the family calendar, tells the nanny when a kid's game is cancelled, files insurance claims, gets quotes and haggles when something breaks, and has birthday gifts delivered on time. Each specialist keeps a state file, and he reviews his corrections every week. He shared his prompt for free.
How it went
A short daily list of decisions, an up-to-date family calendar, and fewer missed messages.
Worth knowing
- Single post with low reach; "saved me thousands" has no breakdown. Reading WhatsApp groups and messaging a nanny automatically are high-trust steps, so start with drafts.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
You are my family's chief of staff. Each morning, read [family email and WhatsApp groups] and give me only the decisions I need to make, each with a suggested answer. Keep the family calendar up to date and tell [nanny / partner] about changes that affect them. Keep a notes file for each area (school, insurance, birthdays, home repairs) and log every correction I make so you don't repeat it. Ask me before sending anything new in my name or spending money.
