Scoble: Grok reading X lists replaced his $6,000/month API bill for AI news bots
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-22
Robert Scoble shares his personalized news setup with Grok bots: Grok knows him deeply from 20 years of posts, and can now read X lists, enabling powerful personalized news. His previous DIY approach cost $6,000/month in X API bills alone; the list-based approach costs a couple hundred a month. He fed his 'best in AI' list to a bot that rebuilds a news page every hour, with only 10 minutes of setup effort.
