How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Cursor or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Assistant mode: run a scheduled personal assistant that builds a task dashboard. 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.
