On a given day, how much administrative BS do you have to do before actually touching your to-do list?
“I had a standard morning routine. About two hours. Check Slack, emails, pending tickets I needed to respond to. And post a daily stand-up telling my managing team what I was working on.”
As the principal AI technical specialist for our marketing team, Tim Biondollo is part engineer and part one-man problem-solving cavalry. Most of his job is spent helping others create solutions that improve their daily workflow. But I wanted to know what kind of magic he built for himself.
Inside Scoop

He shared with me the overnight automation that shaves off two hours of morning busywork.
He calls it his "Chief of Staff," and it collects everything important from his calendar, Slack, email, Asana, and previous chat logs into one morning brief.
Plus, he gave me the real prompt he built, so you can make one for yourself using any multi-agent tool you like. (And, if you’ve never messed around with agents before, this also makes a really great first project!)
