# AI use cases for Bops (OrgoAI/bops) Repo: [OrgoAI/bops](https://github.com/OrgoAI/bops) | Use cases: 4 | Page: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/orgoai-bops/ Bops is a Mac app that runs a team of AI bots for business operations such as inbox, pipeline, invoices and reports, each working on its own cloud computer. This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL. - Hand inbox triage and reports to a bot team on Mac: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/orgoai-bops/delegate-inbox-and-reports-to-bots/ - Self-host the Bops server on your Mac with your keys: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/orgoai-bops/self-host-bops-with-your-own-keys/ - Send tasks to your bot by email, text or phone call: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/orgoai-bops/assign-bot-tasks-by-email-or-text/ - Look up companies, people and work emails for sales: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/orgoai-bops/research-companies-and-contacts-for-sales/ ## How to hand inbox triage and reports to a bot team on Mac with Bops Repo: [OrgoAI/bops](https://github.com/OrgoAI/bops) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README Install the Bops Mac app and give a main bot, Boppy, your inbox, pipeline and reporting work. **Who it is for:** A small business owner or operator who spends too much time on email, invoices and recurring reports, and wants a team of AI bots to take that work on. **The problem:** Routine business ops such as checking the inbox, tracking the pipeline, handling invoices and building reports take time away from higher-value work. **The outcome:** Boppy runs the team, reads your inbox and apps at once, and asks you before it sends, creates or pays anything. ### Steps 1. Download Bops from Bops.bot. It runs on a Mac with Apple silicon. 2. Open the DMG and drag Bops to Applications. 3. Sign in with Google, with your email, or with Orgo. 4. Say hi to Boppy in the app, then connect Gmail, Calendar or other apps in the chat. 5. Give Boppy a first task such as sorting your inbox, and approve the actions it asks you about. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the OrgoAI/bops repo as the reference, list the business ops tasks a user can delegate to the Bops main bot Boppy, such as inbox, pipeline, invoices and reports. Output a short checklist of tasks and which ones require user approval before the bot sends, creates or pays. Verify that every task listed is described in the README. ``` ### Caveat Bops runs on your Mac, so keep it on for routines, watches, and Telegram or Discord, and it is a Mac-only app. Risk, credentials: Connecting Gmail and other apps gives bots access to your accounts, so review which accounts each bot can reach and keep sign-in details in the Vault.

Clone the OrgoAI/bops repository and open its folder in a terminal. (inferred, check the README) 2. Run `npm run setup` to install dependencies and create .env.local from .env.example. 3. In .env.local, fill in OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_EXECUTOR_API_KEY and ORGO_API_KEY. 4. Run `npm run app` to open the app, which starts the server on port 3210. 5. Open Settings and then You, and add your name and a line about yourself. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text In the OrgoAI/bops repository, run `npm run setup`, then confirm that .env.local exists and that OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_EXECUTOR_API_KEY and ORGO_API_KEY are set to without printing the key values. Expected output is a running app started with `npm run app` on port 3210. Verify the server answers on port 3210 before reporting success. ``` ### Caveat Self-hosted Bops needs an Orgo account, an OpenAI key and Apple silicon, and the Bops plans do not apply because you pay each provider directly. Risk, credentials: Your OpenAI and Orgo keys sit in .env.local on your Mac, so keep that file private and use a restricted, spend-limited key for tasks.

Subscribe to Pro or Max in Account and usage, since bot email and phone numbers are included only on those plans. 2. Note the email address for your main bot, which ends in Bops.bot. 3. Email the bot a clear task describing what you want done. 4. Wait for the bot's reply by email, or text your bot's phone number to check progress. 5. Approve any action the bot asks about before it sends, creates or pays. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the OrgoAI/bops repo, draft an email to the main bot at asking it to . Expected output is the drafted email text and a note on whether the bot is expected to reply by email when done. Verify that the plan includes a bot email address before sending, since the README limits this to Pro and Max. ``` ### Caveat Bops runs on your Mac, so while it is away, callers to your bot's number get a bot that takes a message instead of doing the work. Risk, credentials: Anyone who emails or texts the bot's address could try to send tasks, so only you should hold its address and number, since the README says only you can give it work.

Sign in to Bops in the app and open the chat with Boppy. 2. Ask Boppy to look up a company or a person, such as . 3. Review the returned company, people, work email and news details. 4. Approve any pricier lookup the bot asks about. 5. Approve or decline any email to a person the bot found, even if you use Just do it. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the OrgoAI/bops repo, describe how a user asks the bot team to research and list the data types it can return, such as company, people, work emails, phones, news, hiring and funding. Expected output is a short list of those data types and which lookups require user approval. Verify each data type against the README's lookup section before reporting. ``` ### Caveat The README says lookups cost cents each and does not give a per-lookup price list, so check the cost in the app before running many lookups. Risk, credentials: The bot finds personal contact details such as work emails and phone numbers, so use them only for lawful outreach and keep the data inside your own account.
