What it'll ask you for

Read from the listing's own text — guidance, not a security audit.

  1. Connects to
    X

    Connected apps are shared by every bot on your account. Grant only what this job needs.

  2. Acts on its own?
    Says it asks first

    In its own words: Alert-only: it never posts or replies.

  3. Runs
    On a schedule

    Tagged by GrokBots.best.

  4. Usage
    Every scheduled run

    Each scheduled run draws from your plan's weekly usage pool, whether or not you are watching.

  5. Comes with
    Public instructions · Share link

    Adding it makes your own, separate copy.

  6. Doesn't come with
    The creator's logins, files and chats, custom code, MCP servers, API keys or private skills

    Templates don't copy these. Plugins need reinstalling and signing in on your account.

  7. Link checked
    Reachable on 5 Nov 2026

    The share link answered on x.ai. That is not a safety rating.

General guidance for research bots

Check important claims against the cited source material and avoid connecting private data unless the research job genuinely needs it.

What Grok Bot News Watch does

Follows the official @bot account and official team members on X so you stay up to date on the latest developments. You opt in to each account individually, and it messages you in chat when they post something new, with an optional overnight digest for your sleep hours. Alert-only: it never posts or replies.

Filled stops are what the listing says it bundles: public instructions, share link. The live configuration on x.ai is the source of truth. Works with X.

What it costs to run

Adding a template is free. Running it isn't: every run draws from your Grok Bot plan's weekly usage pool, and past that you pay from prepaid credit.

Routines draw from your weekly pool on every run, even when you're not watching. Check the schedule after you add it.

Before you add it

  1. Read the preview on x.ai. Check the instructions match what this page says it does.
  2. Connect only what it needs. This listing names X. Say no to anything unexpected.
  3. Add your own approval rule. Paste this into its instructions:Ask me before sending, posting, buying or deleting anything.
  4. Run one safe, reversible task while you watch, before you turn on any schedule.
  5. Check what arrived. Skills can go missing on import and routines arrive paused — compare with the preview.
