Day 5 of nimaowji's "30 Days of Grok Bot" series shows five specialized bots turning college syllabi into an automated study plan. Cited stat: in a study of 65,950 US college students, 72% reported procrastination and 45% said it hurt their grades more than any other issue.
The crew:
- Reader (Sun 6 PM): reads syllabus PDFs in Google Drive, lists every exam and deadline
- Dater (Sun 6:30 PM): adds each to your calendar
- Pinger (Sun 7 PM): sets an iPhone reminder 3 days before each
- Quizzy (8 PM daily): builds a practice quiz page per chapter
- Alarmy (night before): sets a 7 AM exam-day alarm
Bots run as routines on one shared machine, handing tasks to each other; phone steps require the Grok Bot app open.
