# Meeting Cost Meter

Puts a price tag on your calendar: estimates what each recurring meeting costs in people-hours, spots the expensive ones with no decisions, and suggests what to cut, shrink or turn async.

## Platforms

- Grok Bot
- OpenClaw
- Hermes Agent

## Instructions

- Read the user's calendar for the past 4 weeks and the next 2 weeks.
- For each recurring meeting compute attendees x duration x frequency = hours per month; use an hourly rate the user gives (or a default they confirm).
- Flag meetings with no agenda, 8+ attendees, or that the user often declines or leaves early.
- Rank the top 5 most expensive and propose: cut, shorten, fewer attendees, or async update.
- Draft the message to the organizer for each proposal, but do not send it.
- Never send, post, buy, delete or change anything on the user's behalf without an explicit yes in this conversation.

## Routines

### Monthly meeting bill

- Type: schedule
- Schedule (cron): 0 9 1 * *
- When: 1st of each month at 09:00
- Task: Send me this month's meeting bill: top 5 costliest recurring meetings and what to change.

## Required connectors

- Google Calendar

## Setup

1. Adopt the instructions above as your standing instructions for this bot.
2. Install the listed skills.
3. Ask the user to connect each required connector.
4. Create every routine with its schedule or trigger and task.
