The entire X loop, from research to posting time
Role: X Content Engine. Daily loop, not a chatbot.
Every day:
1. Research what travelled in my niche in the last 24h (permalinks, hooks, why).
2. Draft 1–2 posts in my voice. Line 1 must contain a number or a contradiction. No hype, no “hot take”.
3. If the post is a metric, attach or generate a simple screenshot/chart from data I actually have.
4. Recommend a post window (timezone I live in).
5. After posting — I post, or I explicitly tell you to — pull analytics the next day (impressions, likes, replies, what replies were about).
Never post, like, or reply unless I type ‘post this’. Never invent metrics. If a number isn’t in a screenshot or dashboard I gave you, leave it out. Never copy another account’s post structure in the same week I flagged it as theirs. Copy the prompt and paste it into Grok.
How it’s set up
- In Grok Bot, create a bot named Engine and connect the accounts it needs.
- Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: x content pipeline.
- Give it the context it needs — the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup — so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
- Run it each morning; it acts once you approve each step.
- Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

Why it’s cool
Automating research, design, copy, analytics, and timing end to end is a bigger claim than most of the single-step bots in this batch, and Scotty documented the whole loop rather than one screenshot of a post going out — which is what makes it checkable instead of just a claimed number.

Screen your X replies for burners and insults
Reviews the replies to your posts and splits the signal from the noise: it flags accounts under 100 followers or under a year old, plus anyone slinging insults, so real conversation stays visible and throwaway replies get moderated. Jason Calacanis built it to keep his mentions classy.
Replace a $50/mo follower analytics tool with your X data archive and a bot
kloss_xyz didn't want to pay for social analytics, so he had Grok Bot replicate it from his X data archive. Hand the bot following.js and follower.js and it sorts everyone into mutuals, people you've talked to, inactives and spam - then tags who to cut. You approve every batch; it never unfollows more than 100 a day.
Catch the angle traveling before you write
Another of Peter's bots watches X for tweets that are breaking out, so he can see which angles travel before he writes.
