What Changes for the Business
- A morning brief lists meetings, priorities and follow-ups.
- A weekly finance summary shows cash, spend and revenue.
- Go-to-market tasks like outreach drafts and content get done each week.
- New offers get a quick validation sprint before you build.
Where It Slips Today
- Mornings go on email triage instead of customers.
- Cash surprises show up at month end.
- Ideas get built before anyone checks demand.
The Setup
- Set the morning brief. Connect calendar and inbox so the day starts with one page.
- Connect finance. Give the finance bot read access to get a weekly summary.
- Plan the week. Hand repeatable go-to-market tasks to the bot team.
- Test before building. Run a validation sprint on each new idea.
Start with the first step, run it for a few weeks, then add the next. Bots draft, you approve.
