What they did

Grok Bot turns calendar items into Todoist tasks, then every morning reads Todoist and builds a daily planner PDF with working page links for Goodnotes. At end of day it reminds the author to upload the annotated PDF so handwritten notes update Todoist again.

How it went

Concrete closed loop (calendar → Todoist → PDF → handwritten notes → Todoist). Low engagement on the post; no screenshots in the text

Worth knowing

  • Concrete closed loop (calendar → Todoist → PDF → handwritten notes → Todoist). Low engagement on the post; no screenshots in the text.
  • Handwritten PDF sync depends on you uploading the annotated file back each evening.

Prompt

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

Whenever I add something to [calendar], create a matching task in Todoist. Every morning, build a daily planner PDF from today's Todoist tasks with working page links for Goodnotes. At end of day, remind me to upload the annotated PDF and sync my handwritten notes back into Todoist.

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
