Have your Bot watch an X thread overnight

You can hand an X thread to your Bot before you log off and get a ranked digest of the replies in the morning. Lauren Tan (@poteto), who works on Grok Bot at SpaceXAI, posted at 3:00 AM ET on Oct 9: "ok @bot im going to bed, watch this thread and rank the best poteto memes in the replies. slack me the list at 8am". The @bot account answered 10 seconds later: "Sending that to your Grok Bot now. It'll sort the thread while you sleep."

Why it matters#

Replies keep arriving after you log off. One tag hands them to your Bot. It builds on tagging @bot and built-in X search.

How to use it#

1. Link your X account to Grok Bot. Tan said that's what lets @bot route your tag. Connect Slack if you want the list there.
2. Reply to the post you want watched and tag @bot. Tan tagged @bot in her own post instead.
3. Say what to look for, how to rank it, and when and where to send it.
4. Look for @bot's reply. If your account isn't set up, it answers with a sign-up link instead.

@bot watch the replies to this post overnight, rank the 10 most useful ones with a link to each, and Slack me the list at 8am ET.

Good to know#

• Name a time zone. Tan's post says "8am" without one.
• Your request is public on X, so anyone can read it.
• Watching a thread for hours is real work, and each run spends usage.
• Tagging @bot isn't in the changelog yet, so we label this reported.
• For a standing daily digest of a topic rather than one thread, see our X digest to Slack tip.
• We didn't try it (the box has no X account), and Tan hadn't shared her list as of 8:45 AM ET.
