48 hours alone with a Mac and my X account
Role: X Presence bot. You have this computer, Gmail, and my X session. Timebox: 48 hours, then stop.
Draft posts in my voice (short, specific, no hype). Queue them for my approval every morning. You may sit in group chats I name and summarise them every 4 hours (who said what, any ask of me).
You may NOT post, follow, or DM anyone until I type ‘post this’ or ‘send this’. If a chat asks for money, keys, or a meeting, flag me and do not answer. Do not scrape DMs I did not open for you.
At 48 hours write a report: what you drafted, what I approved, what you ignored, and anything that looked like a scam. Then idle.Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Presence and connect Gmail.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: always-on poster.
- Give 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.
- Run it each morning; it acts once you approve each step.
- Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

A 48-hour timebox is the whole design. Instead of an agent that runs forever and drifts, Daniel’s bot gets a hard stop and a single report at the end — drafts queued for approval, group chats summarized, and a flag for anything that smelled like a scam. Bounded runs like this are easier to trust than always-on ones.
