Coincidentally chapter 19 is using AI<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
GROK bot is AI that Andrew Warner and I are using<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Limitless Chapter 19, is Jim Kwik<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Limitless Chapter 4 by Jim Kwik is asking better questions<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Andrew Warner asked Andrew Warner\u2018a Grok Bot, \u201cwhy others on X get more out of their agents than I do.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Grok Bot read Andrew Warner\u2018s chats and said:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“You give your agents tasks. Give them goals.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Grok bot was right.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So Andrew Warner made Andrew Warner\u2018s main Grok Bot the goal keeper. It works with me to give each agent a goal and checks on their progress.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Before: “Suggest a title for this YouTube short video that\u2019s currently in private mode.”<\/div>\n
After: “Reach 1,700 YouTube subscribers by Oct 31, 2027.”<\/div>\n

@AndrewWarner I switched from tasks to goals and the results have been great. Told grok bot the goal was 300 live events by end of December. We went from about 60 to 270 over the weekend. https:\/\/t.co\/p7wUmH1Rtd<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u2022 I stopped micromanaging<\/div>\n
\u2022 The agents pick their own next steps<\/div>\n
\u2022 They only ping me when they’re stuck<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Give your agent this 👇 prompt:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You’re my Goal Keeper. Your job is to make sure every one of my AI agents is working toward a goal, not just finishing tasks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Go through each of my agents. For each one, tell me what it does and what I’ve been asking it to do lately.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Interview me, one agent at a time. Ask what result I really want from it. Push me until the goal is specific, has a number, and has a deadline. Example: “Get 100K YouTube subscribers by Dec 31,” not “help with YouTube.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Give each agent its goal. Tell it to decide its own next steps, to work on them without waiting for me, and to ask me only when it’s truly blocked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. Every week, check each agent’s progress against its goal. Send me one short report: on track, behind, or stuck, plus the one decision you need from me.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. If an agent keeps doing busywork that doesn’t move its goal, flag it and suggest a better plan.<\/div>\n
