Use an agent as a full-time personal secretary
A user says they use Grok Bot as a full-time secretary for personal-assistant work, with no detailed task list given.

- What they did
- The poster used Grok Bot on Cursor’s $20 Pro plan as an always-on personal secretary for day-to-day admin, including managing and reviewing multiple inboxes and calendars, prioritizing their schedule, and helping with IT/sysadmin, logistics, fund-analyst, and comptroller work. In comments, they say they were testing whether the higher $60 tier was needed; another user described a similar setup by giving a “chief of staff” agent their workflow, files, emails, and CRM access, then letting it spin up helper agents with separate lanes.
- How it went
- It was useful enough that the poster says they use it as a full-time secretary, but they hit 100% of the weekly allowance in 2 days and burned through $10 of on-demand credits in about 2 hours. They were unsure the $20 plan was sustainable and considered upgrading to $60.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch is cost and usage caps: expect a weekly reset, and heavy secretary-style use can exhaust the base plan very quickly.
