Eric Siu built a bot that automatically replies to every sponsorship inquiry with a flat $15,000 offer and refuses to negotiate. He explains how automating this repetitive task freed him from frustration and urges others to identify their most annoying chores and automate them for the happiness and productivity gains.

What do you hate doing? One of the most annoying things for me is if I spend 30 minutes making a YouTube video and our packaging sucks, that just drives me crazy. And so I took it upon myself to actually spend the time to make that skill. I had a sponsorship routine running in Codex, but it was break all the time. Now that I have GrokBot running it for me, it's, it's auto responding to people now that anybody that wants to do a sponsorship, it's like, it's going to be $15,000. It's like, and they start negotiating, right? And the bot just keeps responding. It's going to be $15,000. It's going to be $15,000 just over and over and over. Right. And so that way you don't have to deal with it. So think about the most annoying thing that you would like to get off your plate today and think about how you can skillify it. I guarantee you're going to be a lot happier and then you're just going to try to do more and more and more. And that's how this goes.
