This is fantastic, Joe!!! 


This is really cool @joe.pistell .
The sweet spot for AI agents is work that's structured enough to repeat, but variable enough to require judgment rather than standard automation, with an outcome you can evaluate and measure.The machine needs a tweak where it not only searches DR's entire name file (of active participants), but it also looks for more than new jobs or new products, etc.
Grok's really good at the socials. Maybe somebody's got some time to build that monster
P.S. Speaking of Grok, Has anyone looked into Grok Bot yet? That's got @Ryan Everson written all over it.
My daughter is in a leadership position at [a dealership whose name we will not speak] lol. She spends most of her days pushing papers around like an office manager or office worker shuffling files, building PPTs. I gotta sit down with Grok, but I bet you I can save her four hours a day.
