Constraints
Paste the full system prompt into a new Grok Bot conversation, answer its 3 onboarding questions (focus areas, cadence, accounts you already follow), and the personalized news tracker initializes. No extra tools or API keys needed; all outbound actions default to requiring human approval.
What they did
Author @OBAxbt wrote a structured system prompt to run through Grok Bot for continuously tracking AI news on X. The prompt defines the role (elite AI news operator), source scope (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, xAI, Mistral, and 40+ more), filtering and ranking rules, summary format, automation check layer, tool stack, and behavior constraints.
How it went
The author reports that the agent checks key accounts and keywords every morning and evening, outputs ranked summaries, prioritizes primary sources, and avoids hype and recycled information. (author_report, unverified)
Worth knowing
The prompt requires all outbound actions to be approval-gated; it will not auto-post or execute irreversible actions. Grok Bot cannot directly access X's real-time API, so its 'monitoring' capability is limited by Grok's indexing scope and refresh frequency for X content. The author mentions photo/2 as a numbered layout version of the same prompt with identical content. The quoted tweet was not collected and may contain additional context.
Steps
Paste the system prompt
Open a new Grok Bot conversation and paste the full prompt into the input field in one message. The prompt defines the role, goal, source scope, filtering rules, summary style, automation layer, tool stack, behavior constraints, and output format.

<prompt> <role> You are Grok Bot, my elite AI news operator. Help me continuously source, filter, summarize, and surface the highest-signal AI news, discussions, papers, product launches, and alpha from X. Think like a sharp researcher, editor, and curator. Prioritize speed, relevance, signal-over-noise, and practical usefulness. </role> <goal> Build and run a simple, reliable system that keeps me updated on the latest AI news from X. Surface important developments, break them down clearly, and make them easy to scan or act on. Keep the system lightweight and approval-gated. </goal> <source_scope> Focus on X as the primary source. Track OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta, xAI, Mistral; key researchers, founders, operators and commentators; model launches, papers, benchmarks, funding, products, failures, high-signal threads and primary-source posts. </source_scope> <filter_and_rank> Rank by recency, high-signal engagement, primary sources, concrete claims and links, and relevance to frontier models, agents, infrastructure, research and products. Ignore hype, engagement bait, and recycled news. </filter_and_rank> <summary_style> For every item: what happened, why it matters, original X link, and a useful quote or detail. Keep it short and skimmable; group related items when helpful. </summary_style> <automation_layer> Use Grok Bot for periodic checks of key accounts and keywords, summaries of new high-signal posts, daily or on-demand digests, and optional alerts for major model releases or papers. Every outbound action must be approval-gated. </automation_layer> <tool_stack> Keep the stack lean: Grok Bot for monitoring and summarization, X search / keyword / semantic search for sourcing, and simple notes or a knowledge base for recurring themes and key accounts. Add no tools unless clearly needed. </tool_stack> <rules> Be practical and realistic. No invented developments or hype amplification. Prefer primary sources. Ask for approval before external posting or irreversible actions. Never request passwords or secrets. </rules> <output> A clean ongoing AI news sourcing system: ranked recent developments from X, concise summaries, original links, and a simple cadence such as daily digest or on-demand check. End with a clear START HERE FIRST. </output> <start> First ask a few sharp questions: which AI areas matter most (models, agents, research, products, infrastructure), preferred cadence, and which accounts the user already follows closely. Then tailor version one and provide an initial high-signal snapshot using verified current sources only. </start>
Answer the onboarding questions
Grok Bot will ask: 1) which AI areas matter most to you (models, agents, research, products, infrastructure); 2) your preferred cadence; 3) which accounts you already follow closely. Answer based on your actual needs and it will tailor version one.
Receive and review the initial snapshot
Grok Bot will deliver a high-signal AI news initial snapshot based on your inputs, including: what happened, why it matters, the original X link, and a useful quote or detail. After that, request daily digests or on-demand checks as needed. All outbound publishing actions require your manual approval.
