Brief me on what changed overnight

A standing Grok prompt that turns overnight news in your lane into a one-page brief with sources you can open.

·Research·15 min·Starter

Five items worth a decision this week, one item to ignore, and three questions for a colleague.

  1. 1

    Fill the brackets

    Replace the industry and the customer with the ones you actually serve. Leave the rest of the prompt alone.

  2. 2

    Run it in Grok

    Ask for sources you can open. Drop any item that arrives without one.

  3. 3

    Keep one question

    Send a single question from the brief to the person who owns the decision. Do not forward the whole page.

The prompt to paste

Brief me before I start work. My lane is [industry or product]. The people who pay us are [customer].

Look at what changed in the last day. I care about developments that would change a decision I might make this week.

Return:
1. Five items. Each needs a headline, why it matters to us, and a source I can open.
2. One item I should ignore, and why the headline overstates it.
3. Three questions I should ask a colleague before acting.

If you cannot find a source, say so. Do not invent numbers, quotes, or announcements.

A fluent brief can still be stale. Open two of the sources before you repeat a claim.
