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 it can access: Reads and posts on X.
Say they ask first: 122 of 627

Watch for: Anything that posts publicly should wait for your approval — a bad post is hard to take back.

What X access allows

Checked 5 Nov 2026 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.

Ask first before posting, replying, reposting or sending a DM on X.

Real listings that name this connector and, in their creators' words, ask before acting. We haven't tested their instructions.

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.
