Your first task

Pick one of these for your first task. Each one delivers real value in under 10 minutes and shows Monroe handling something your team would otherwise have to do manually.

1 — The Friday roll-up

In your team's main channel:

@Monroe summarize what shipped this week — pull Linear, GitHub PRs merged, Notion docs published

Monroe pulls the last 7 days, groups by area, posts a 4-section recap in-thread. About 600 credits (~$6).

Why it's a good first task: shows tool composition (Linear + GitHub + Notion in one run), produces something visible to the team, doesn't require any approval (read-only).

2 — The morning brief

DM Monroe (or use a private channel):

Every weekday morning at 8:30am, post a brief in #standup: open Linear issues assigned to anyone, PRs awaiting review, top 3 customer mentions from #support overnight

Monroe sets up a cron, runs it tomorrow morning, then forever. About 400 credits per run (~$4).

Why it's good: shows Monroe's native scheduling (you don't need a separate scheduler), shows cross-tool composition, and it keeps delivering value every day after.

3 — The customer follow-up draft

After a customer call ends (Gong/Fathom posts a recording):

Draft a follow-up email from the ACME call — pull the action items, format as Loom-style, save as draft in Gmail

Monroe reads the meeting transcript, identifies action items + decisions, drafts the email, saves to Drafts (never sends without approval). About 400 credits (~$4).

Why it's good: shows the approval gate in action — Monroe drafts, you send.

The pattern: tell Monroe what you want, not how. Monroe figures out which tools to compose. If you don't like the result, iterate in-thread — Monroe remembers the context.

Next: credits and billing or approval gates.
