Double-bookings arrive with a fix already drafted
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. Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Clash and connect Google Calendar, X.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: calendar fixer.
- 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 on demand; 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.

Why it’s cool
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.
