The AI news Grok delivers is pretty good, but you might want to use it with another bot or agent. One simple way to do that is to ask it how it works:
> When you help me put together the news, how do you search X for the information I’m looking for? How do you tell whether it’s new and valuable?
The basic idea is actually quite simple: follow specific accounts in three categories—official accounts from AI labs and companies, key figures, and news and tip accounts.
It also lists search queries you can copy directly, covering model launches, products and agents, funding and acquisitions, regulation and safety, tips, Chinese-language news, and topics I follow myself.
It also explains how to judge whether something is new, whether it’s valuable, and what format to use for the updates.
Then you can ask it to turn this process into a Skill, so you can reuse it.
The most important thing, though, is that with other bots or agents, you have to pay for API access yourself, while GrokBot’s X API doesn’t cost extra.
I’ve put Grok’s full prompt in the comments.
