Grok bots for X
X templates watch mentions, research topics and draft posts. Most of them don't need your X account connected at all, because Bots can already search and read public X.

What X access allows
Checked against xAI's docs
How it connects. Public X is built in: Bots can search posts, read profiles and mentions, and check trends without signing in as you. The optional X plugin in Connect apps adds your DMs, bookmarks and home timeline, and needs X API credits on your X developer account. You can also tag @bot on a post to hand it to your main Bot.
It can read
Read risk: Low- Public posts, profiles, mentions, quotes and trends (no connection needed)
- With the X plugin: your DMs, bookmarks, home timeline and likes
It can write
Write risk: High- Posting depends on how a template is set up (the X plugin or a third-party tool); keep every post behind approval
A post is public and permanent the moment it goes out. The X plugin also costs X API credits on your own developer account.
Set up X safely
- Try the template without connecting X first; public reading may be all it needs.
- If it needs the X plugin, check your X API credit balance and limits.
- Tell the Bot to draft posts and replies for you to publish.
Ask first rules to add before connecting
In Settings → General → Bot → Custom Rules, describe the action and choose Ask first.

X questions
Can a Grok bot read X without my account?
Yes. Bots can search and read what's public on X, including posts, profiles, mentions, quotes and trends, without you connecting an X account; that access is read-only. For your DMs, bookmarks or home timeline, add the X plugin, which needs X API credits on your X developer account.

What each connection can do comes from these pages. Template counts are listings whose own text or tags name X, a reading aid rather than a verified integration.
