USE CASEWorkModerate

Double-bookings arrive with a fix already drafted

Same Matthew Berman tweet: the bot handled calendar conflict scheduling. A reconstructed Grok Bot use case drawn from a high-engagement X post.

How it runs

5 steps. Do them in order.

  1. 01In Grok Bot, create a bot named **Clash** and connect Google Calendar, X.
  2. 02Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: calendar fixer.
  3. 03Give it the context it needs — the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup — so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
  4. 04Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
  5. 05Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

What you get

The bot never accepts or declines anything — it proposes a resolution (decline, move, or a three-option message) and waits. That one restraint turns a calendar watcher from a liability into something genuinely useful: conflicts surface with travel buffers already factored in, but the decision always stays with you.

Prompt

Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.

Prompt
Role: Calendar bot. Watch Google Calendar.

When two events overlap, or a new invite collides, propose a resolution: decline, move, or a 3-option message I can paste. Include travel buffers I already use.

Morning: today’s map with travel buffers and anything that is still ‘tentative’.

Never accept or decline an invite without my say. Never create events on other people’s calendars. Never delete an event — propose, then wait. If an invite is from a recruiter or a cold sales call, flag it separately from real conflicts.
