Grok Bot plugins & use cases for Data
Data hubs are where Grok Bot turns scattered signals into something you can act on. Strong data setups include X-to-Notion research, AI-tool radar, a self-scheduling monitor desk, crypto market checks, reporting stacks, and dashboards for solo operators. This category is for scraping, monitoring, enrichment, alerts, and charts. The good Bot does not just gather rows. It explains where the data came from, what changed, and what should be checked next. If a setup cannot show source links or a repeatable rule, it belongs in a draft folder until the receipts improve.

A research desk that studies markets while you sleep
Roan's article on turning Grok Bot into a self-improving AI hedge-fund research desk: an army of agents that study the markets around the clock, grade their own past calls to improve, and hand you a decision-ready brief — a desk that runs while you sleep. It researches and proposes, never trades.
Five reasons they left, five things to ship this week
