💬 Copy-paste prompts

Tap Copy prompt, paste it into your AI (Grok, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini), then replace the [yellow bits] with your own details.

💬 Client triage

I work with these clients: [Client A – key people – what they usually need], [Client B – …], [Client C – …].
Read my [email accounts] and [Teams/Slack] for messages from them.
Sort each into: URGENT (a deadline today, a complaint, money, legal), TODAY, or FYI.
At [9 a.m.] and [3 p.m.] send me a short list per client. For URGENT, message me straight away.
Draft replies for the TODAY items and wait for my approval. Never send, delete or forward anything without asking.

⚠️ Tips & common mistakes

Some users found dots slow or buggy in the first weeks after launch; keep a human eye on it.
Keep client confidentiality in mind: check your contracts allow an AI assistant to read client messages.
Use 'urgent' rules that are specific, e.g. 'any mention of termination, penalty or overdue'.

🌟 Why it's worth it

💡 Why it mattersJuggling several clients across different apps means important messages get buried. One assistant watching all of them stops things slipping.

🏷️ Real example'Think of your dot as the most eager and capable intern you can find,' the user wrote, adding: use guardrails until you trust it.
