You need
Grok Bot

Constraints

Ask Grok directly in chat how it retrieves and filters news. Record the account categories, search queries, and filtering rules it returns, then ask Grok to package the workflow into a Skill. No extra API cost for GrokBot (X API included); other bots/agents require separate API billing.

What they did

Author @dotey found Grok's AI news updates useful and wanted to replicate the capability in other bots or agents. He directly asked Grok how it curates news—including X search methods and freshness/value judgments—recorded the account categories, search queries, filtering rules, and output format Grok provided, then asked Grok to save the workflow as a Skill.

How it went

The author reports that Grok returned a complete retrieval strategy: follow three categories of accounts (AI labs/official accounts, key individuals, news/leak accounts), provided copyable search queries across multiple topics, and explained freshness/value checks plus delivery format. The author notes GrokBot's X API requires no extra payment, while other bots/agents need separate API costs. (author_report)

Worth knowing

The full prompt text was placed in a comment by the author but is not available in the snapshot text; images were archived but OCR did not reach verbatim clarity. Porting to other platforms requires configuring your own API access and permissions. Specific search queries and account lists from Grok may change over time and should be revalidated periodically.

Steps

  1. Ask Grok how it retrieves news

    In a Grok conversation, ask: "When you help me curate news, how do you search X for the information I want? How do you judge whether something is new and whether it's valuable?" Wait for Grok to describe its retrieval strategy.

  2. Capture account categories and search queries

    Grok will typically return three categories of accounts to follow (AI labs and company official accounts, key individuals, news and leak accounts) plus copyable search queries covering topics like model releases, products and agents, funding and acquisitions, regulation and safety, leaks, and Chinese-language news. Save these for your own use.

  3. Record filtering rules and output format

    Ask or wait for Grok to explain how it judges freshness, how it assesses value, and what delivery format it uses. Document these rules.

  4. Package into a Skill

    Ask Grok to compile the full workflow (account categories + search queries + filtering rules + output format) into a Skill so you can reuse it for ongoing news tracking.
