Why it matters
This is the classic promise of AI agents: a helper that handles errands and reminders on your behalf. Real cases like this show how close that promise is today. It is one of 50 sightings filed under Personal Assistant on Agent Sightings (number 29 by interest), and one of 32 involving Codex.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Codex or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Review yesterday's sessions. Group items into: needs attention, waiting on a decision, conditional, ignore. Email me the top three priorities with links to each session.
The prompt breaks down into 3 steps you can check as the agent works:
- Review yesterday's sessions.
- Group items into: needs attention, waiting on a decision, conditional, ignore.
- Email me the top three priorities with links to each session.
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.
