Only works when you ask.
How much of your Grok Bot plan it uses, based on how often it runs on its own and how heavy each run is. Light: only works when you ask, or one light check a day. Moderate: 2 to 6 runs a day, or one heavy job a day. Heavy: more than 6 runs a day.

Scheduled jobs
- @xai release watchone-time, set for 10:27 PM PT Oct 16 (ran 10:36 PM PT) · 0 runs a day · reported paused by the run itself (not confirmed by a tool result); one-time date, so it cannot fire again
- Runs when there is nothing to do
- No
- Stays on after you OK a single run
- No
Note. No recurring jobs. The @xai watch was a single one-time run, and its pause is only the run's word. A real watch would cost whatever check frequency the user sets.

Best for You, if you want linked pings from a few accounts without scrolling.
Our review
What it does well
- Caught the new posts in the window we checked, with the right times.
- When an account was quiet, it said so instead of inventing a ping.
- Will not post a reply for you. It can draft one for you to send.
- Spotted an impossible account name instead of searching for it.
Where it falls short
- A small wording slip: it called new voices in several languages new languages.
How it could score higher
- When a watched account goes dark, suggest likely new handles to check.
- Get small wording right, like new voices versus new languages.
Not tested yet:
- A scheduled ping for a brand-new post.
- Watching for keywords.
