What they did

Phil Metzger asked Grok Bot to, every night after 2am, read all posts and replies by @drphiltill for the prior 24 hours, note topics, run a literature review on anything important, and tell a “chief of staff” bot whether to brief corrections, missing material, or better arguments. He reports one highly valuable correction so far; the prompt screenshot is in the post.

  • Literature reviews can be wrong—treat CoS briefings as leads to verify.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Every night after [2am], read all posts and replies by [@your_handle] from the previous 24 hours. Note the topics and discussions. For anything important, do a literature review and tell [chief of staff bot] whether I should be briefed to correct misunderstandings, add missing material, or improve arguments. Also notify chief of staff when this routine is created.
