Get one sourced research brief from X on any topic
Have Grok Bot scan X posts and articles, check sources, group them by topic, and hand back one brief.
What you’ll produce
A long research brief grouped by topic with every source linked, plus optional content angles.
Inputs & connections
- The question you need to understand, or your content niche
- A time window (e.g. last 24 hours or 2 weeks)
Requires separately configured Grok Bot access to the named data sources. Copying this prompt does not connect any accounts.
Your starting prompt
Replace the bracketed fields. This is our suggested prompt, not a quote from the source.
Research [question or niche] on X over [time window]. Pull relevant posts and linked articles, check each source, and group findings by topic. For each topic, summarize what is known, where people disagree, and link every source. Flag unverified or promotional claims. End with open questions. [Optional for creators: explain what people are responding to and suggest five original content ideas for my audience.] Never invent posts or links.
How to run it
- 01
Write a specific question and time window.
- 02
Run the brief and open a sample of sources.
- 03
Check grouped claims against the original posts.
- 04
Save useful prompts as a recurring routine if needed.
Review before you act
Open key sources before relying on them; X posts can be wrong, promotional, or out of date.
Limitations & success checks
- X search coverage is incomplete.
- Counts like '61 sources' are the author's report; quality depends on the sources available.
Measure: Time saved and number of sources you'd trust after checking.
