Cutting Grok Bot routine costs with changedetection.io webhooks
A cost breakdown showing that waking a Grok Bot every five minutes means 8,640 mostly empty runs a month, and how self-hosted changedetection.io webhooks can trigger the routine only when a page actually changes.
SAME GROK BOT. $400 OR $33. OR ALMOST $0... his math: a routine every 5 min = 8,640 runs a month, most of them find nothing the fix is to stop waking grok on a clock: → http://changedetection.io (34.1K ★) watches the page, API or feed for you → nothing changed = no run, no cost → something changed = webhook fires your grok bot routine → optional LLM filter skips changes that don't matter self-hosted, free, 1 docker command what are your grok routines checking every 5 minutes?
