Note from the build

I was out of office last week.

I was out of office last week.

I came back to a full inbox, busy Slack channels and a week of updates I had missed.

So I let my tools do the first read:

1. Slack: Slackbot AI summarised the channels and threads that actually needed me.

2. GTM brain: I've been running my own version of gbrain. It reads our Fathom calls and Slack conversations, so I could see what changed across the team, not just in my DMs.

3. Email: Grok Bot marked everything as read and left only the important ones unread for me to review.

4. News / Updates: I ran the /last30days skill across AI, tech and GTM engineering, and it's now a weekly job. The biggest thing I missed: Anthropic filed to go public on 26 Oct.

The part that didn't go as per plan:

The Thursday night before I left, Railway reset API tokens after a security incident. A couple of my automations broke, and I spent Monday fixing them.

Has anyone figured out key rotation for their automations? I'd love to swap notes.
