How to have a Bot search X without connecting an X account in Grok Bot
🎯 Have a Bot find five recent posts on a topic you care about, each with a link, and keep what the posts say separate from the Bot's own reading of them.
Why it matters: Since v0.70.2, Bots can search X and read posts without you connecting an X account. Asking for links and a facts-versus-assumptions split makes the answer easy to check.
Hint
The Files and results docs suggest asking for facts and inferences in separate sections. Ask for a revision of the same answer instead of a fresh copy.
Solution
- Send the prompt below to any Bot, with your own topic.
- If any item is missing a link or mixes fact with opinion, reply once asking it to fix that, without starting over.
Prompt to paste:
Search X for the five most useful posts from the last 24 hours about [your topic]. For each, give the link, the author's handle, and one line on what it says. Then add two sections: Facts found in the posts, and Your assumptions or inferences. Do not post, like, or follow anything.
