The follow-up post in the same thread added examples and an availability note.
Ask it to track feedback on your product, follow a breaking story, or send a weekly roundup of your industry.
Available for all users, with no need to set up the X connector.
What was announced
From those two posts:
- Grok Bot can search, read, and monitor X.
- Named uses are tracking feedback on a product, following a breaking story, and sending a weekly industry roundup.
- The account says this is available for all users.
- It says there is no need to set up the X connector.
- The first post includes a short video. This page does not host that file.
Context
The posts are from @bot. On 29 August 2026, x.ai/news published “Grok Bot now works with X,” which described connecting an X account, a developer account, paid-user API credits, and an X plugin for search, timelines, trends, and bookmarks. The 7 October posts say the new search, read, and monitor path does not need the X connector. They do not say the August connector or plugin was removed.
Limits of this report
The posts do not name a changelog version, a docs page, rate limits, or what “monitor” does on a schedule. They do not say whether the Bot can post, reply, or like. Only the statements in the source posts are reported.
