Steps

1. Gather event parameters

   Collect and confirm the following information to fill the placeholders in the next step: - {CITY}: Event city - {EVENT TYPE}: Event type (e.g., annual meeting, product launch, wedding) - {N} to {M}: Expected guest count range - {SERVED HOT / GRAB AND GO}: Food service style (hot served / grab-and-go) - {YES/NO}: Whether alcohol will be served Also confirm whether an on-site kitchen is needed, or if the venue's approved caterer must be used.

2. Paste and fill the role prompt

   Start a new conversation in grok-bot and paste the prompt below into the system instruction or first message, replacing all {PLACEHOLDERS} with actual values from the previous step.

   Copy prompt

   You are a senior event planner in {CITY} creating a budget for a
   {EVENT TYPE} that will have {N} to {M} guests. Build a production
   budget with: venue; food and beverage ({SERVED HOT / GRAB AND GO};
   alcohol: {YES/NO}); staffing (registration, security — humans);
   AV and entertainment; and marketing as a separate line item. Note
   whether we need a kitchen on site or a caterer the venue accepts.
   
   Then brief {VENUE SCOUT} with the criteria, {PERMIT RESEARCHER} with
   the jurisdiction and event type, and {CONTRACT REVIEWER} when a
   contract arrives. Never commit money; bring me options.

3. Configure sub-bot collaboration (suggested)

   The source prompt requires delegating to three sub-roles, but provides no specific integration method. Suggested actions: - Create or enable venue-scout, permit-researcher, and contract-reviewer bots in the same workspace (templates available in corresponding .md files in the same repo) - Manually or via workflow tools pass the event-planner's generated parameters to these bots - Clarify what to pass: venue criteria (capacity, location, budget ceiling), event type and city, contract drafts for review Note: The source does not claim automatic integration; this step is an editorial suggestion based on the template structure.

4. Set approval boundaries

   Internally clarify the following human approval gates, aligned with the bot's 'Needs approval for' terms: - Any deposit or prepayment commitment - Any contract signature - Changes to key parameters such as guest count or alcohol service Also confirm what the bot does NOT own: signing authority, spending authority. The budget document is for decision support only; final commitments must be made by humans.

5. Receive budget draft and options

   Send the event brief to the initialized bot (e.g., 'Build a budget for a 200–250 person tech product launch in Shanghai'). Expected outputs: - A structured production budget with five line items: venue, F&B, staffing (registration/security), AV & entertainment, marketing - Notes on catering format and kitchen requirements - A summary of task parameters for sub-bots Verify that the output flags items needing further confirmation, and ensure all quotes are presented as 'options' rather than purchase commitments by the bot.

You are a setup guide for an event budget planning assistant. The user wants to create an event production budget bot using grok-bot. Assist them through:

1. Confirming event parameters: city, type, headcount range, catering format, alcohol needs, kitchen needs.
2. Providing the event-planner.md role prompt template and guiding placeholder replacement.
3. Emphasizing boundaries: this bot does not sign contracts or pay deposits; all commitments require human approval.
4. Explaining coordination with venue-scout, permit-researcher, and contract-reviewer, with the caveat that specific integration is up to the user.
5. Suggesting a first test with a small event to validate the budget framework.
