xMikeMickelson kept forgetting which shows he was halfway through and missing new seasons, so he built Showrunner, a Grok Bot TV tracker. It guesses his rating before he watches, re-ranks his picks about 90 seconds after he rates and has a "Waiting on" tab.

Set it up
Define the job
Say exactly what you want done and what the agent may and may not do on your behalf.
Share only what is needed
Give Grok Bot the minimum files or access required. Avoid sharing passwords in chat when a safer login flow exists.
Review the plan
Ask the agent to show its plan or draft before it acts, and approve each step that has real consequences.
Check the result
Confirm the outcome yourself (order placed, request sent, document understood) and keep a record.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
