A daily gig digest for freelancers: Grok Bot finds work on X, and replying "not this kind" teaches it

The author set this up for a voice-actor friend: every morning Grok Bot searches X for auditions and gigs and sends one email digest. Reply to say what you don't want, and it's gone the next day.

Start step 1 ↓

The problem

Freelancers often find work on X, but scrolling for it every day takes a long time and the relevant posts get buried.

What to prepare

  • Grok Bot's own email inbox

How to do it

  1. 1

    Have the bot claim its own inbox

    Ask it in chat to claim an email address. The digest comes from there, and you reply to it there.

  2. 2

    Start with a wide search

    You don't need to be precise at first. See what it finds, then narrow it down by replying.

    Prompt

    Replace the 2 ✎ dashed parts with your own details, then copy.

    Every morning, search X for posts about voice-acting auditions and gigs (sample, replace with yours), casting a wide net. Send what you find in one email to my email (sample, replace with yours): one line each with the job, the deadline if there is one, and the post link.
  3. 3

    Add a routine that handles your replies

    So every reply you send gets read and acted on.

    Prompt
  4. 4

    Don't want something? Just reply

    The author's friend didn't want fan dubs, so he replied "not this kind going forward," and they were gone the next day.

Done?
