Prompt for your agent

Goal: Get proactive alerts about family logistics hidden in my email and calendar.
Setup: agents used in source: ChatGPT Dots; tools/MCPs stated: Google (Gmail/Calendar).
Steps:
1. Connect your Google account to ChatGPT so the Dot can read mail and calendar.
2. Let it run proactively; it messages you only about things that matter (assignments, pick-up time changes).
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
