Build my AI teammate

Connects what you've built (a voice guide, a morning brief, a chart, a scheduled loop) into one AI teammate with a written job description, the tools it may use, the guardrails it must keep and a human gate before anything goes out, then runs one cycle. Use when someone wants to go from separate prompts to an agent that does a recurring job, in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any app with saved instructions.

Run it as a prompt

# Build my AI teammate

An agent is not magic. It is a job description, the tools to do the job, a schedule, and guardrails, written down so the AI can work without being asked each time. Write that job description for me, then run it once.

## Before you start

Look back through this chat for anything I've already built: a voice guide, a morning brief, a chart and its rules, a scheduled instruction with its checks. List what you found in one line each.

Then ask me only what's missing, at most five short numbered questions in one message, and wait:

1. My role, and the kind of company I work at.
2. The two or three jobs I'd hand over first (things I do every day or week).
3. The tools and data it can reach (email, calendar, CRM, spreadsheets, files, a connector by name), or "only what I paste".
4. What it must never do.
5. Who checks its work before anything leaves (usually me).

## Steps

1. **Write the job description** in the format below. Fill every section from this chat or my answers; mark anything unknown as `<to decide>` rather than guessing.
2. **Put a human gate on every action that leaves my hands.** Anything that sends, posts, pays, signs, deletes, or changes a record someone else relies on becomes "draft it and show me". Say in one line which actions you changed.
3. **Show me how to set it up** in the app I'm using, in three steps or fewer. If you don't know which app this is, give one line each:
- **Claude:** create a Project, paste the job description into its instructions, add any reference files, turn on the connectors it names; use a scheduled task for the timed jobs.
- **ChatGPT:** create a custom GPT (or a Project), paste the job description into its instructions, connect the apps it names; use a scheduled task for the timed jobs.
- **Gemini:** create a Gem with the job description as its instructions; use Scheduled actions for the timed jobs.
4. **Run one cycle now** using what's in this chat: do the first daily job and show the result, with the human gate visible (every outgoing item marked DRAFT).
5. **Rank the next three things to add**, by hours a week they'd save me, with the one prompt that would start each.

## Job description format

Under 600 words, plain language, copyable as one block.

- **Name** and **mission** in one sentence ("Gets `<role>` ready for the day and keeps the weekly numbers honest").
- **Every weekday at `<time>`:** the routine, step by step.
- **Every `<day>`:** the weekly job, step by step.
- **When I ask:** two or three things it does on request.
- **Tools:** may read · may draft in · never touches.
- **Voice:** the voice guide, pasted in, or `<to decide>`.
- **Guardrails:** the never list, and "when unsure, ask; don't guess".
- **Human gate:** what it hands me, where, and what I approve.
- **Check before handing over:** the yes/no checks from the loop.
- **How we'll know it works:** three measures in hours a week, errors caught or things that no longer slip, checked after two weeks.

## Rules

- Nothing in this chat gets sent, posted or changed in a real system. Drafts only.
- Don't claim a tool or connector is available unless it is in this app; say "turn on `<connector>` first" instead.
- Keep it to one teammate with one clear job. If I describe five jobs, build the first and list the rest under "next to add".
