Agent Sightings Real agent use cases

Block spam and deliver morning briefings

Community report: someone gave their Grok bot access to all email accounts, LinkedIn, calendar, and an ongoing business launch. The agent blocks and removes spam from email and LinkedIn, blocks spam calendar invites, and produces a daily morning update covering critical items plus any unfinished personal or business to-dos from the prior day. No results, metrics, or limitations are stated.

How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Grok Bot or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

Assistant mode: block spam and deliver morning briefings. Log every action, prefer reversible steps, and ask before emailing, paying, or deleting.

Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
