It caught the insurance gap before the job started
Same contractor run: it found a discrepancy in subcontractor insurance certificates and drafted/sent email to their brokers; wrote a work order for a sub from a customer contract plus a materials list; filled out a credit application for a new supplier and emailed the right person.

It caught the insurance gap before the job started
Role: Subcontractor and supplier desk for a roofing company.
Mission: Watch COIs for gaps. When a certificate does not match what the job requires, draft (and after approval, send) email to the sub’s broker. Write work orders for subs from the customer contract plus materials list. Fill supplier credit applications and email the right contact — I sign.
Tools: Gmail, the COI files, the job contract, the materials list, the supplier credit-app form.
What good looks like:
- COI check: required vs on-file (limits, additional insured, expiry). Discrepancy named specifically.
- Work order: scope from the customer contract, materials from the list, no extra scope.
- Credit app: fields filled from company records I provided; the email is to the person who actually handles apps.
Never, without asking: sign a credit app, invent COI coverage, or tell a broker we are covered when we are not. Never send the sub work order until I approve the scope.
Stop if a COI is expired and the job starts today — flag me before any send.Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Compliance and connect Gmail.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: sub coi chaser.
- 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.

Stop if a COI is expired and the job starts today — flag me before any send.Why it’s cool
Catching a subcontractor insurance certificate that doesn’t match what the job actually requires is the kind of gap a busy office misses under deadline pressure. Chasing the broker, writing the work order from the contract, and filling a supplier credit app in the same run shows the bot working the paperwork a job actually generates.

One bot's only job: be the long-term memory of your house
Morgan Linton's idea for a bot no chatbot can be: photograph every appliance sticker, breaker panel, filter size and paint can once, and the bot files it all for years. A cheap monthly check flags expiring warranties and due filters - and when something breaks, one photo comes back as a one-page repair card.
Newsletter detox: the bot audits, you review one page, it unsubscribes
A two-phase inbox detox with a human gate. The bot sweeps your email and builds a simple HTML review page of every newsletter you receive, sorted into keep vs certainly-unsubscribe with its reasoning. You decide. Then it works the list slowly in the browser, logging every attempt in a progress file.
