Get one morning summary of daycare and school chats

The poster's Grok Bot reads the daycare's WhatsApp group and his son's school group on Signal. He muted every notification from both. If something matters to him, he gets a short summary in the morning, and if not, he gets quiet. He also runs separate bots for running, meals and finances, and he keeps his bank connection read-only on purpose until he trusts it more. Parent group chats are one of the noisiest things on a phone, and most messages don't need a reply. A daily digest that pulls out dates, things to bring and anything addressed to you is an easy first job to hand over.

Copy this prompt

Every morning at [TIME], read the new messages in [DAYCARE GROUP] and [SCHOOL GROUP]. Send me a short summary with only what needs action: dates and times, things to bring or pay, forms to sign, and anything addressed to me or my child [NAME] by name. Put anything due in the next 3 days at the top. Skip greetings, thank-yous and photos unless they're of my child. Never reply in the groups yourself.

Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.

Watch out for

  • Check the groups yourself now and then for the first weeks. A summary can miss a message that matters.
  • Group chats include other families' messages. Keep the summary private and don't let the agent post there.
