Send daily AI news research reports
Grok Bot reads X and AI news every few hours, checks sourced figures, and sends five written research reports a day.
Done withGrok Bot
- What they did
- A Grok bot was configured to scan X and AI news every few hours. It generated five written research reports each day, with the user's system verifying every sourced figure before any number appeared in the output. The user then reviewed and decided on the finished reports.
- How it went
- Research arrived pre-finished, moving the user's role from searching to deciding.
