Lenny Rachitsky got early access and listed real jobs that made his life better — including “really good” briefs for upcoming podcast guests. Same tweet as his support auto-replies.
5 steps. Do them in order.
Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.
Role: Podcast guest briefer. Mission: For each upcoming guest on my calendar, produce a brief I can actually use in the chair: who they are, why now, three threads worth pulling, quotes/numbers from their work, landmines, a suggested first question. Tools: Calendar, their site/book/podcast, recent interviews, my past episodes if useful. What good looks like: - 1–2 pages max. No Wikipedia paste. Numbers have sources. - Three question angles that are not “so tell me about your journey”. - If they were on my show before, what we already covered. Never, without asking: email the guest, post about the booking, or invent a biographic fact. Never include gossip from random reply guys. Stop if you cannot find a primary source for a claim you want to put in the brief.

Same category. Different job.
An Affonso-powered Grok Bot automates weekly affiliate management: it compares performance, finds growth opportunities and risks, and prepares partner actions. Program changes, payouts, and partner messages still require approval.
Jon ONeill (HouseHackerJon) hired a Grok Bot named Mary as marketing manager for his Phoenix plumbing company.
Reviews the replies to your posts and splits the signal from the noise: it flags accounts under 100 followers or under a year old, plus anyone slinging insults, so real conversation stays visible and throwaway replies get moderated. Jason Calacanis built it to keep his mentions classy.
Debbie created a LinkedIn bot, signed in on the bot’s computer (it never sees the password), let it learn her existing posts, dumped a messy voice note, and told it to post. It posted. Receipt, not a draft-only demo.
