Grok Bot workflow behind an Elon-reposted post
The author breaks down how Grok Bot picked the angle, hook, and structure for a post that Elon Musk reposted.
Elon reposted a post my Grok Bot helped me write And, to be honest, the bot did most of the work before I even wrote a single word Here's the workflow (step by step): 1/ The Signal A Grok Bot update was released with some changes, and instead of reading the full changelog, the Bot highlights the most important points and sends them to me 2/ Angle All the accounts were going to post: "Grok Bot is now 3 times faster" The Bot suggested a different approach: the launch of support for Robinhood, Coinbase, and eToro is the news for the crypto community In other words, the point is to present the news from a different angle, not the same way everyone else does 3/ Hook It suggested starting with Elon’s own words, rather than mine: "Elon says that connecting Grok Bot to private messages on X is the best way to use it" That’s exactly what piqued the user’s interest, because every X user knows who Elon Musk is 4/ Structure It condensed the entire overview into a single quote, a single statistic, and four short sentences No long texts, nothing that needs to be read twice, every line contains something that can actually be done It didn’t write the full text, it just provided the key points that definitely needed to be included 5/ Draft It provided me with a draft in my preferred format I rewrote every line in my own words, because while a bot can find the correct form, the essence should sound like human language, not AI 6/ Read He inspired me to end the post not with a summary, but with my own opinion: "Speed grabs the attention of the headline, but the connecting elements are what keep me engaged all day long" It’s precisely this last part that many people quote The result: Elon reposted it What I took away from this: > The bot handles the tedious part best: it reads everything, finds a perspective, and crafts a post > I’m still the one with an opinion, and that’s exactly what people share If you want to build the same structure, ask the @ bot to repeat it
