Building a 24/7 personal news desk with 5 Grok bots: scanner, sorter, checker, live page and recap
nima_owji · x · 2026-11-05
nimaowji shares Day 6 of his '30 Days of Grok Bot' series: a five-bot personal news desk that runs around the clock. Citing Pew data (59% of US adults get news from social media; 57% of X users regularly do), the setup includes an hourly Scanner for chosen accounts/topics, an hourly Sorter that clusters and dedupes top posts, a Checker that traces claims to original sources, an all-night Desk keeping one live page updated, and a 7 AM Recap bot writing a neutral briefing with links. The crew picks no side; users pick what it watches.
