A published walkthrough shows A Grok bot was configured to scan X and AI news every few hours. It generated five written research reports each day, with Someone's system verifying every sourced figure before any number appeared in the output. Research arrived pre-finished, moving Someone's role from searching to deciding.
Research is mostly gathering, cleaning and comparing. Handing that groundwork to an agent leaves the person with the part that needs judgment: deciding what the findings mean. It is one of 67 sightings filed under Research & Data on Agent Sightings (number 63 by interest), and one of 85 involving Grok Bot.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Grok Bot or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Research brief: send daily AI news research reports. Prefer primary sources, include links and confidence notes, and do not contact anyone.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
