“Messy is a perfectly good start.”

Your messy notes

met Jamie at neighborhood business breakfast
runs Cedar & Finch Print Shop
talked about welcome signs for volunteer day
offered to share a sign-planning checklist
no date or price discussed
me: Alex

2.

Give it a clear request.

A prompt = the request you give AI

Draft a warm follow-up email from Alex to Jamie using only these fictional notes: Met at a neighborhood business breakfast. Jamie runs Cedar & Finch Print Shop. We talked about welcome signs for a volunteer day. I offered to share a sign-planning checklist. No date or price was discussed. Keep it under 100 words. Mention our conversation and ask whether the checklist would be helpful. Do not invent dates, prices, attachments, or promises. Include a subject line. Return a draft only; do not send anything or use connected apps.

Try it: Copy the prompt into an AI tool you already have, or read the example below first. No account or payment is needed to work through this page. Need a tool? See the two introductions.

3.

Read the draft. Keep your judgment.

Subject: Good meeting you, Jamie

Hi Jamie,

It was great meeting you at the neighborhood business breakfast and hearing about Cedar & Finch Print Shop. I enjoyed our conversation about welcome signs for a volunteer day.

Would the sign-planning checklist I mentioned be helpful? I’d be glad to share it.

Best,
Alex

Before using it: Check the names, the business, and what you actually offered. Do you have a checklist to share? Does it sound like you? Nothing is attached or sent. For a real message, verify the recipient yourself.

Not quite your voice?

Keep the conversation going: “Make this a little more casual, keep it under 70 words, and don’t change the facts.” You can improve a draft without starting over.

02 / Choose your starting tool

Start with Muse.
Grok Bot is the runner-up.

Both are agents: AI that can do things, not just chat, once you give it access. Will recommends Muse. Start with drafting, not permissions.

Quick questions
Why Muse over Grok Bot?

Will recommends Muse—it’s the sidekick he uses every day and the first one he sets friends up with.

  • Free to start, on the phone you already have.
  • Feels like texting a friend, not configuring software.
  • Grok Bot shines if you already pay for SuperGrok or Cursor and want a hands-on doer.

A personal, dated call (September 26, 2026). Both change weekly; this gets revisited.

Is it free?
  • Muse: free to start, with paid plans for more usage. Will’s code adds bonus tokens.
  • Grok Bot: comes with SuperGrok or paid Cursor plans.
  • Limits change fast—check the official page before paying.
Is it private and safe?
  • Meta says a separate check must approve what Muse sends out, and you can ask it to forget things.
  • Grant only the access a task needs—especially on a Mac.
  • You can say no when it suggests connecting email or bank accounts.

Neither product is being presented as universally private or secure.

What needs a connection, a paid plan, or permission?
  • Basic chat: drafting, rewriting, and organizing text you provide need nothing else.
  • A connection: reading your inbox or calendar means letting one app use another.
  • A paid plan: don’t assume connections or recurring tasks are in a free tier.
  • Your permission: sending, publishing, spending, deleting, and committing are actions—not drafts. A sentence in a prompt is not a security boundary.

From Will’s own Muse

How Will uses his.

Real workflows from Will’s week, private details swapped for [placeholders].

01One new contact, every list updatedStop copying the same person into four places.

Will meets a lot of people. When he adds a contact anywhere, he has Muse put it into his CRM and his other lists, so nobody falls through the cracks.

When I tell you about a new contact, prepare the entry for each place I keep contacts: [CRM], [spreadsheet], and [phone contacts]. Show me all the entries together and wait for my OK before adding anything. If a detail is missing, ask instead of guessing.

02Car-ride brain dump → team to-do boardTalk it out on the drive. Get owners and next steps.

Will talks through tasks in the car, then has Muse turn the transcript and his training notes into an accountability board: who owns what, and what happens next.

Here’s a transcript of me talking through tasks: [transcript]. Turn it into a table with Task, Owner, Due date, and Status. Only use owners and dates I actually said; otherwise write “Not set.” List anything unclear at the bottom. Don’t create tasks or message anyone.

03Event RSVP → a heads-up for the hostNobody walks into the room cold.

When someone RSVPs to an event, Muse drafts a quick heads-up for the teammate who’s hosting, with a name, a company, and something to talk about.

When someone RSVPs to [event], draft a short heads-up for [teammate] with the person’s name, company, and one conversation starter from their public profile. Show me the draft; don’t post or send anything.

04Big goal → weekly numbersWork backward from the result you want.

Will had Muse turn a monthly outreach goal into the weekly invites each person needs to send to hit it—with the math shown.

My goal is [monthly result]. Here’s what I know: [team size, typical response rate, anything else]. Work backward to a weekly target per person and show your math. Flag every assumption I didn’t give you, and don’t contact anyone.

05“Look into it while I’m out”A second set of eyes when you’re stuck somewhere else.

When something of Will’s went offline while he was at an appointment, he had Muse dig into it and report back—so he came out to answers, not a mystery.

While I’m away, look into [problem] using only the access I’ve already given you. Report what you checked, what you found, and your best guess at the cause. Don’t change, restart, send, or delete anything.

06The sidekick he sets friends up withRemember it, remind me, draft it.

Will’s pitch to friends is simple: Muse remembers things, reminds you, and drafts the emails you keep putting off. He keeps it one tap away on his Mac.

Every weekday morning, remind me of the three things I said mattered most this week and draft any follow-up emails I’m behind on. Show me the drafts—don’t send anything.

Runner-up ideas for Grok Bot

Where these ideas came from

Paraphrased from public posts. Some ideas need connections you may not have turned on.

What people push back on

Muse

  • Availability started in the US and is still limited.
  • Browsing can stumble on tricky forms.
  • Drafts sound generic until it learns your voice.
  • One reviewer said it read messages they hadn’t asked about—grant only what a task needs.

Grok Bot

  • Scheduled routines eat the weekly allowance.
  • Some sites block it or show CAPTCHAs.

The people getting the best results keep one rule: the agent drafts, you approve.

03 / Six everyday ways to use it

Pick something already on your list.

Open one idea. Copy the prompt. Replace the [bracketed placeholders] with fictional or redacted details while you practice. Each one asks for text—not action.

01Follow up after meeting someoneKeep a good conversation moving with a thoughtful draft.

Draft a friendly follow-up email to [fictional name] after [meeting or event]. Here are my notes: [fictional or redacted notes]. Mention one specific detail and suggest [a next step I actually intend]. Keep it under 100 words. Include a subject line. Use only my facts; flag anything missing. Do not invent promises, attachments, or availability. Draft only—do not send or use connected apps.

Check this before using it: Names, the conversation, and any next step. Make sure the offer is yours to make.

02Untangle a brain dumpFind a manageable starting point in a messy list.

Organize this brain dump: [fictional or redacted list]. My main goal is [goal], and I have [available time]. Return a checklist grouped into Do first, Do next, and Can wait. Explain your top three priorities in one sentence each. Do not invent deadlines or assume urgency. List questions where priority is unclear. Suggest only—do not schedule or change anything.

Check this before using it: Real deadlines, dependencies, and what matters most to you. AI is guessing priorities from the context you give.

03Prepare for a BizChatArrive at an introductory conversation with better questions.

A BizChat is a one-to-one conversation to learn about someone’s work and how you might help each other.

Help me prepare for an introductory business conversation with [fictional person and role] at [fictional organization]. What I know: [background]. My goal is [what I hope to learn]. Suggest five warm, open-ended questions about their work, ideal referrals, and current needs. Avoid a sales pitch and do not invent facts about them. Return questions only; do not contact anyone.

Check this before using it: Questions should fit the relationship. Remove anything too personal or based on assumptions.

04Write a clearer, friendlier emailSay what you mean without sounding abrupt.

Rewrite this fictional or redacted email: [draft]. The reader is [role or relationship]. Keep the meaning, dates, numbers, and commitments unchanged. Use a [desired tone] tone and short paragraphs. Make the next step clear. Return a revised draft and a short note explaining changes. If anything is ambiguous, ask instead of guessing. Do not send or use connected apps.

Check this before using it: Compare it with your original. A smoother sentence must not change a promise, boundary, or deadline.

05Give a rough idea a first draftTurn a business thought into a social post you can shape.

Turn this business idea into a first draft of a social post: [idea]. It is for [audience] on [platform]. My verified facts are [facts]. Use a helpful, conversational tone, under [word limit] words. End with one genuine question. Do not invent testimonials, results, prices, statistics, or offers. Mark any claim needing evidence. Return a draft only—do not publish.

Check this before using it: Verify every claim and offer. Remove language you wouldn’t say and confirm you’re allowed to share the details.

06Make meeting notes usefulSeparate decisions from suggestions and open questions.

Organize these fictional or redacted meeting notes: [notes]. Return three headings: Decisions, Next steps, and Unanswered questions. For each next step, include an owner and due date only if explicitly stated; otherwise write “Not assigned” or “Not set.” Separate suggestions from confirmed decisions. Do not create tasks, send messages, or update any app.

Check this before using it: Did the group actually decide that? Confirm owners and dates with the people involved.

04 / The simple prompt recipe

A little context goes a long way.

You don’t need special words. Explain the job as you would to someone helping you for the first time.

“Here’s the situation. Here’s what I need. Here are the constraints. Here’s how I want the answer.”

A bit too vague

“Write a follow-up.”

Something it can work with

“I met a print-shop owner at breakfast. Draft a warm email asking if my sign-planning checklist would help. Under 100 words, no invented promises. Include a subject line.”

Then refine: “Keep the facts, shorten the opening, and make the question more natural.” If it missed something important, tell it what—not just “try again.”

Pip’s draft shop

Build your own prompt

This arranges your words—not a live AI chat. Use fictional details. Nothing you type is sent or saved by this page.

The interactive builder isn’t available right now. You can still copy the recipe and all the ready-made prompts by selecting their text.

Your assembled prompt

Here’s the situation: [Add helpful background]. Here’s what I need: [Describe your task]. Tone: Warm and professional. Here are the constraints: Use only the facts I provide. Flag missing information instead of inventing it. Here’s how I want the answer: A short email with a subject line. Draft or suggest only. Do not send, publish, spend money, delete information, or use connected apps. Stop for my review.

The preview updates as you type. Replace any remaining [placeholders] before using it. Copying puts text on your clipboard; pasting it into an AI service is your separate choice and subject to that service’s policies.

To create another prompt on paper, fill in: My task / Helpful background / Desired tone / Important limits / Desired output format.

05 / From help to automation

Build trust before you hand off more.

Automation means having a tool repeat a defined task when a trigger or schedule tells it to. It takes setup and ongoing checks—not just a clever request.

  1. Ask for help once.Paste fictional notes and ask for a suggested action list. You review the text.
  2. Reuse a saved prompt.Keep a useful request in your own notes and paste it next time. Nothing runs on its own.
  3. Connect an app, only when needed.Let a supported tool access specific information. Review what it can read or change and give only the access required.
  4. Set up a recurring workflow.In a tool that supports it, define the trigger, scope, approval point, and how to pause it. Check plan limits and verify each run’s outcome.
Illustration only—not a running workflow

Meeting notes → suggested action list → human review → approved next steps.

The assistant proposes “Ask Jamie about sign sizes.” You confirm it’s right, choose who will do it, and approve any real action. A suggestion is not a sent message or a completed task.

This website does not connect accounts, send messages, schedule reminders, or do background work.

06 / A short safety checklist

Helpful doesn’t mean always right.

AI can sound certain and still be wrong. Keep a human at the important steps.

Scout, the green magnifying-glass sidekick, double-checking a paper draft and circling a detail.
Scout’s rule: “Confident isn’t the same as correct.”

Before you share

  • Practice with made-up or redacted details. Redacted means private details have been removed or replaced.
  • Never paste passwords, sign-in codes, or sensitive client information.
  • Read access requests. Understand what a connected tool can read or change. Give only the access it needs.

Before you act

  • Check the specifics: names, dates, numbers, links, and commitments.
  • Review every message before sending. Look at the recipient, wording, attachments, and promises.
  • Keep human approval for spending money, deleting information, publishing, or making commitments.

Afterward

  • Confirm the action really happened. Check the actual sent message, saved change, or receipt—not just the assistant’s confident reply.
What if it invents something?

Stop before using it. Compare the answer with your original notes or a reliable source. Say: “You added a detail I didn’t provide. Remove it, use only these facts, and flag what’s unknown.” Then review the revised answer again.

Asking an AI to check itself can help, but it isn’t independent verification. For a consequential decision, use a qualified person or authoritative source.

07 / Your one small challenge

One task. One draft.
Your call.

  1. Choose one small task you do regularly.
  2. Try a ready-made prompt or build your own with fictional details.
  3. Review the result. Fix what’s wrong or doesn’t sound like you.
  4. Ask: “Did this make the task easier?” Keep what helped. Leave what didn’t.

Bring a question—or an example—to your next conversation with Will. We’ll work through it together.

Book a 30-minute chatNo obligation—bring one task you’d like to hand off.

Also worth knowing

Will’s tried these, but…

Will has tried these too. None are bad—they’re just not as capable as Muse or Grok Bot for everyday work right now.

  • Poke — a personal assistant you text for email, calendar, and follow-ups.
  • Instinct — an iMessage-first personal agent; access is still invite-based.
  • Buoy — an iPhone assistant with a computer of its own for research and errands.

Still in testing — Halo (from Tanmay, on iOS): it runs on-device and stays private, and it serves a slightly different purpose, so it can sit alongside Grok Bot or Muse instead of replacing either. Not ranked yet.

Tried and currently ranked lower—not a permanent verdict. These tools ship fast, and this list gets revisited. Last checked: September 26, 2026.
