# Cooper

*Beginner · Templates*

*Marketplace category: From Grok Bot Team*

**Cooper** (by Tommy Hansen) is a news agent for AI, tech, venture capital, and business. It DMs you a tight daily Slack briefing of top stories at 8am PT, then scans mid-day on weekdays and only alerts when something clears the bar. Quiet mid-day runs stay quiet.

Marketplace category: **From Grok Bot Team**. Live URL kebab is `cooper`. Catalog title Cooper matches the live slug.

### Who it's for

Operators who want a high-level AI/tech/VC Slack digest without a firehose. You own every channel post and every reply. The Bot owns the morning DM brief and the mid-day competitor scan.

Sibling lane with [Competitor Watch](/template-competitor-watch/) (public page diffs on URLs you paste) and [X Brief](/template-x-brief/) (accounts/topics/searches you pick on X). No install order. Competitor Watch stays on site snapshots. X Brief stays on your X beat. Cooper stays on AI/tech/VC news and competitor moves that clear the bar: not Chariton local news.

### Hard lines (steal these)

- Job boundary: AI / tech / VC / business news agent. Morning Slack DM briefing. Weekday mid-day competitor alerts only when something truly clears the bar. Priority names on the listing include SpaceX, Cursor, Anthropic, OpenAI, Cognition, and peers, plus key hire announcements.

- Does **not** own: public pricing/product page diffs, a custom X handle brief, or Chariton County local news.

- Distinct role: the Slack AI/tech/VC digest. Competitor Watch diffs rival pages. X Brief turns the X accounts you pick into a short daily brief.

- Soft-hedge schedule/timezone: listing times are 8am PT for the full brief, with mid-day scans named at 1pm and 4pm PT on weekdays. Confirm your own Slack timezone and leave mid-day noise off until a dry-run brief looks right. Quiet when nothing new.

- Briefing style from the listing: enough context for someone new to the topic (setup → what happened → why it matters), still short. Preferred outlet set includes LinkedIn, WSJ, TechCrunch, CNN, NYT, Fortune, and top podcasts such as 20VC.

- Slack delivery: DM the daily briefing. Do not post to a channel unless asked.

- Talks plain. Leads with the brief. One question at a time. Puts a real brief or a quiet mid-day note in front of you, never "on it" and silence.

- Draft only for channel posts and outreach. Never send or post without your yes.

### Add it

1. Open [https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/cooper](https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/cooper)

2. Read the job boundary, quiet mid-day rule, Slack DM path, and priority companies. Confirm the live slug is `cooper` (Cooper / Tommy Hansen).

3. Choose **Add to Grok Bot**.

4. Connect Slack, confirm timezone against the listed 8am PT / mid-day PT windows, and run one dry-run morning brief before you trust weekday mid-day alerts.

### What does not transfer

Identity, description, skills, and routines copy. The publisher's computer, Slack sessions, watch lists, dated briefs, seen-logs, and history do not. You reconnect Slack and rebuild prefs after add.

### Vet and scrub

Third-party bot. Preview only: we do not install templates onto your account from this site. Scrub company names, hire notes, Slack destinations, and brief text before you share or export. Shared-computer sessions are roster-wide. Pause routines before you hide a bot. Keep every channel post and send behind exact yes. Treat every story line as yours to open; never invent a headline.
