Scoble points a Grok Bot at 20,000 curated accounts to build his personalized AI news feed
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-24
Robert Scoble shares his personal news monitoring setup: a Grok Bot that reads four hand-curated news lists covering roughly 20,000 accounts and monitors the news for him.
The key insight is separating curation from your main feed — following news accounts directly pollutes your For You feed, so you park sources in lists you don't want to see and let the bot read them instead. Grok gained the ability to read lists this week, and he thinks personalized news is just getting started.
