- The author shares his workflow for automating newsletter writing: connecting Grok Bot to the beehiiv CLI.
- It drafts his 6,000-subscriber weekly newsletter in about 30 seconds, lays out the draft, and generates a preview plus an edit link.
- Notably it can't schedule or send (which he considers a good thing), keeping editorial control with the human. Setup is trivial—just paste in an API key—and it eliminates the Notion copy/paste formatting pain. He recommends it to anyone running a newsletter.
