Let the research come to you.
Grok Bot | Scheduled automation after a trial run
https://automately.cc/automate/grok-bot-research-watch

Give one Grok Bot a focused research job. First get a useful brief, then turn that method into a skill and a recurring routine.

ACCESS
Use the official Grok Bot app and check your account's current eligibility. This guide is for Grok Bot, not an ordinary Grok chat or a similarly named third-party bot.

BEFORE YOU START
Grok Bot access
A short list of approved public sources
A topic, freshness window, and inclusion rules

1. Give one Bot one research job
Open Grok Bot. Use your first Bot or create one for this research topic. Name the job and provide a small source list. Start with public sources so the first exercise does not need account connections.
Check: The job is narrow enough that you can judge the result.

2. Run the research once
Send the research prompt with real URLs. Inspect every link and date. Remove any source that cannot support its claims, then ask for a corrected digest before saving the process.
Check: The digest uses evidence you can open and verify.

3. Save the successful method as a skill
Ask the Bot to save the corrected research method as a named skill. Include your source list, inclusion rules, output fields, and what to do when there is no useful news.
Check: The saved instructions contain the corrections from your trial.

4. Create and inspect the routine
Send the repeat prompt. Open the Bot's details and review the routine's schedule and time zone. Use Test if it is offered, or request one manual run and inspect the first scheduled result.
Check: The routine exists, the schedule matches, and you know how to pause it.

PRACTICE INPUT
Practice watch list
Topic: practical AI training for small teams.
Sources: official product release notes.
Window: the last 7 days.
Keep: changes with a clear work use case.

PROMPT
From these official sources: [paste three URLs], find up to three updates published in the last seven days about [topic]. For each, give the publication date, direct source link, what changed, and one practical use. Distinguish a release date from the article date. Exclude repeated announcements and unsupported speculation. If nothing qualifies, say so. Return the digest here; do not post or contact anyone. If a source cannot be read, identify the gap.

ILLUSTRATIVE RESULT
Weekly research digest
Item: [verified update title]
Published: [source date]
Source: [direct official URL]
Use: [specific work application]
No qualifying item? Say that plainly.

REPEAT
Save the reviewed method as a skill called Useful AI Research Watch. Then create a routine for this Bot to run that skill every Monday at 8:00 AM America/New_York. Use the current seven-day window. Return the digest here, including source failures. Do not publish or contact anyone. Show the saved routine and confirm its time zone. Run a test if available.

FALLBACK
If routines are unavailable in your account, keep the prompt and run the research manually. If a website blocks access, use an allowed official feed or a document you provide; flag the missing coverage.

CHECKLIST
Official source and direct link for each item
Correct publication and event dates
Duplicates removed
No update is a valid outcome
