Six AI bots run his desk: mail, expenses, calls and tasks

A Business Insider Japan writer set up six AI bots besides his main one and has run them for about a week. One checks his to-do list and pushes him to reschedule, one picks out mail that needs a reply and drafts it, one pulls expense items from mail into a spreadsheet, and one looks up missed call numbers in his mail and contacts and sums up who called.

How it works

  1. Sets up six named bots in an AI app
  2. The task bot checks his to-do progress on a schedule and prompts him to reschedule
  3. The mail bot picks out mail needing a reply and drafts it
  4. The expense bot pulls expense items from mail and records them in a spreadsheet
  5. The phone bot searches missed call numbers in mail and contacts and sums up who called and what they last exchanged
  6. The news bot checks X trends on a schedule and suggests story ideas
  7. The skill bot keeps his Notion skills and the AI skills in sync

Why it’s worth knowing

The bots work because of the records he already kept for years. The phone bot can tell him who a missed call was from and what they last talked about, which helps him judge scam calls.
