Every prompt here works in any connected assistant. The **Changes?** column tells you whether the prompt reads only, or stages a change for you to confirm.

## Reports and performance

| Prompt | What Bytown does | Changes? |
|---|---|---|
| How did my Google campaigns perform last week vs the week before? | Pulls live metrics and the change for each campaign. | Read only |

| Move $20 a day from my weakest Google campaign to my best one. | Shows both budget changes together. | Staged for your yes |

## Routines

Assistants that run on a schedule, such as Grok Bot, ChatGPT dots and Instinct, take a standing brief. Keep "ask me first" in every routine.

```text Weekly check (Grok Bot)
Every Monday at 7 AM, use @Bytown to check my ad accounts. Post the three biggest problems to #marketing and stage fixes for my approval. Never change a budget without asking me.
```

```text Daily brief (ChatGPT dot)
Use Bytown for all my ad accounts. Check them every morning at 7 and bring me the three things to fix. Ask me before you change anything.
```

```text Morning text (Instinct)
Text me every morning at 8 with yesterday's ad results from Bytown. Call me if my cost per lead doubles.
```

```text Standing instruction (Muse, Claude or ChatGPT)
For anything about my ads, use Bytown and its ad tools. Always show me a change before you make it.
```

## Tips for better answers

- **Name the platform and window.** "Google, last 14 days" beats "recently".
- **Say what good looks like.** "Cost per lead under $40" gives Bytown a target to judge against.
- **Ask for the why.** "Explain why before you suggest a change" gets you the reasoning with the fix.
- **One business at a time.** Each connection covers one Bytown business. Connect again to switch.
