About this Bot
Every weekday morning it reads today’s calendar, picks meetings with outside guests, and writes a short brief for each: who they are, your last emails with them, open questions and a suggested goal for the call.
What you get
- One brief per external meeting: attendees, context, last thread, open questions.
- A suggested goal and two questions to ask.
- Links to the relevant email threads and public profiles.
Good fit
- Busy calendars with several external calls a day.
- People who walk into calls without time to look things up.
Not for
- Internal standups and 1:1s.
- Accepting, declining or rescheduling meetings for you.
Install in three steps
- 01 Copy the setup prompt below.
- 02 In Grok Bot, open a new chat with + and choose Create new Bot. Paste it as the first message.
- 03 Check the list it sends back, then give it the first-run inputs. Turn routines on after the first run looks right.
