Where to run it

No-code: Zapier Agents, Lindy or n8n (n8n can be self-hosted for privacy).
In a chat assistant: paste the instructions into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini with the matching connectors turned on.
Local: run the reasoning step on a local model. See the model picker for hardware guidance.

Agent instructions (copy into your agent)

Run Getting Things Done for me. Walk me through connecting Gmail, Slack, Granola, and Google Calendar, then configure it: capture from those inboxes without creating tasks, clarify one item at a time into a next action, and when I ask, give me at most three next actions in this chat with one marked MIT. Calendar only gets appointments and deadlines. Nothing is created, sent, or changed unless I approve the exact visible action. Run a weekly review in this chat. Show me a first clarify pass with me watching, then save it.

Always review an agent's permissions before connecting your accounts. Credits & licenses.
