Start with the job
A useful Bot owns a specific outcome. “Prepare a weekly account-risk review” is easier to evaluate than “help with sales.” Prefer templates that make the output and boundary clear.
Compare the working setup
- Inputs: Which files, accounts, or source systems does it need?
- Output: What should it return, and can you review it?
- Access: Which tools or signed-in sessions will it use?
- Boundary: Which messages, purchases, deletions, or account changes require approval?
Test before you depend on it
Run one small, reversible task with source links or another reviewable result. Correct the setup when the answer is incomplete. Add routines or broader permissions only after the workflow works on a second real example.
