Automate candidate follow-up emails and hiring-team reminders with context-aware drafts and a filled tracking Sheet. It uses the role criteria, source files and approval rules you choose, then saves the filled output in a named Google Drive folder. This keeps the workflow repeatable without handing your judgment to the agent.
Find due candidate and hiring-team follow-ups and prepare context-aware drafts without over-contacting. The agent keeps the steps, checks and output consistent, while you keep every decision.
Picture tomorrow's handoff.
"Hello, send every candidate follow-up due today"

Use the Follow Up Agent with your assistant
The same three files run on any assistant that reads plain text. Pick yours for the step-by-step setup - where the files go, what a run looks like, and the honest limits:
- Instinct - hand the three files to Instinct in chat - it keeps them across sessions, so the agent becomes a standing workflow you trigger with one line.
- ChatGPT - lives in a ChatGPT Project - skill.md as a Project file, the setup prompt as Project instructions, and each run starts inside that Project.
- Claude - lives in a Claude Project - skill.md as Project knowledge, the setup prompt as instructions, and each run starts in that Project.
- Gemini - lives in a Gemini Gem - the Gem’s instructions are skill.md plus the setup prompt, so the rules persist between sessions.
- Grok - lives in a Grok Skill or custom Bot with skill.md as the standing expertise - or attach the three files to a chat.
- DeepSeek - no persistent agents - upload skill.md at the start of each chat and re-paste the usage prompt per run (a well-packaged DIY prompt).
- Perplexity - lives in a Perplexity Space - upload the three files, paste the setup prompt into the Space instructions, and runs start in that Space.
- Microsoft Copilot - with Microsoft 365 Copilot it lives in a Notebook (skill.md as reference, setup prompt as instructions); in consumer Copilot, re-upload the files each session.
- Hermes - place skill.md in your Hermes workspace as the standing skill, then run the setup prompt - local-first, files stay under your control.
- OpenClaw - drop the three files into your OpenClaw workspace and point it at skill.md - setup runs over your usual chat channel.
- Town - share the three files with Town and ask it to keep skill.md as the standing rules for the job.
- Muse - give the three files to Muse and ask it to keep skill.md as the standing rules - approve the sample-data test first.
Questions people ask
What does the Follow-up Agent actually do?
It finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ones you approve and holds the ones with a reason to wait. It prepares review-ready work and stops for your approval before anything is sent, spent, published or scheduled.
Which AI assistants work with the Follow-up Agent?
Any assistant that reads plain-text files: Instinct, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Town, Muse and others. You hand it three files - skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt.
Is the Follow-up Agent $19 a subscription?
No. $19 is one-time. You download and keep the three files forever; there is no account and no renewal.
How long does setup take?
About 10 minutes: attach the files, run the setup prompt, approve the fictional-data test. It never touches real work until you approve the sample run.
