Weekly Promise Sweep

The Weekly Promise Sweep is a routine your Townie AI assistant runs late each week: it scans your sent email and Slack messages for commitments you made, cross-references what you actually followed through on, and surfaces the still-open ones in a private list grouped by client.

To: your Townie

Subject: Create me a Weekly Promise Sweep routine

Build me a routine that catches what slipped through the cracks each week, so a promise I made on Tuesday doesn't quietly die by Friday.

Run it late each week — Thursday or Friday afternoon.

When that happens:
- Scan my sent email and my Slack messages from the week for things I committed to — 'I'll send that over,' 'let me follow up,' 'I'll get you the deck,' and the like.
- Cross-reference what I actually followed through on, so you only surface the ones still open.
- Group the loose ends by client so I can see who's waiting on what.

A few things that matter here:
- Keep this private and read-only. Don't draft or send anything — this is my own end-of-week safety net, not an outreach tool.
- Distinguish a real commitment from a passing comment; I'd rather you flag a few high-confidence ones than bury me in maybes.

Output: a short private end-of-week list of open commitments, grouped by client, so I can close them out before the weekend.

My default: just surface the list to me; take no action on my behalf.

Before you build this, tailor it to the integrations I actually use and what you already know about me. Don't take the above at face value; ask me the critical questions that make it stronger: which tools and integrations to use, what the output should look like, and how much autonomy you should have (what to do on your own vs. check with me first).

Weekly Promise Sweep FAQ

It's a routine your Townie AI assistant runs late each week: it scans your sent email and Slack messages for commitments you made, cross-references what you actually followed through on, and surfaces anything still open in a private list grouped by client. You set it up once by describing it; the message on this page is that description.

No. This routine is read-only by design — it never drafts, sends, or changes anything. It reads only the accounts you connect and reports privately to you. Read more in our security overview.

It's built to do the opposite: it distinguishes a real commitment from a passing comment and leads with the high-confidence ones. Anything borderline is labeled a judgment call so you can skim past it.

Just your email and Slack — it reads your sent mail and your own messages from the week. If you make promises in other places, tell your assistant and it widens the sweep.
