On October 10, Sawyer Merritt posted a clip from the X Takeover event with a quote from Nicki Minaj: "Grok @Bot has changed my life. It's amazing. You're able to create employees for your company, assistants. It probably has been used to save my life recently."

Lauren Tan (@poteto), who leads Grok Bot, quoted it: "wow @NICKIMINAJ uses grok bot!"

We don't know which Bots Nicki Minaj set up or what she meant by the last line. The quote is all that was posted.
"What did you get done this week with @bot?"
Earlier that day, Lauren asked users what they got done with Grok Bot this week. The thread drew hundreds of replies.

A few posts from the same days that she reposted:
| Who | What they said |
|---|---|
| Nick Kalpakis (Oct 9) | His Bot researched a crypto company before a planned podcast, without being asked, and flagged it as a possible scam |
| Geoffrey Huntley (Oct 10) | "Okay, @bot is farking cool," comparing it with another assistant he had been using |

Turn the thread into ideas for you
Lauren then tagged @bot on her own question and asked it to read the whole thread and suggest ways it could help with her work and life. She told others to try the same.

How it works
1. Find a thread of ideas on X. 2. Quote or reply, tag @bot, and ask for ideas for you. 3. @bot confirms on X. 4. Your main Bot reads the post and the quoted thread. 5. The ideas land in your Bot's chat in the app. 6. Pick one and do it once by hand.
| Step | What to do | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open the "what did you get done" thread, or any thread you like | Avoid posts with video or GIFs, since @bot doesn't take those |
| 2 | Quote it and write: "@bot read this whole quoted thread and suggest ideas for how you can help me" | Don't also tag @grok |
| 3 | Wait for @bot's short confirmation | No reply means your Bot didn't get it |
| 4 | Open Grok Bot | The ideas are in your main Bot's chat |
| 5 | Pick one idea and run it once before making it a routine | Tagged requests use your Grok Bot usage |
Common questions
Is this an official Grok Bot announcement? No. These are posts from users and the Grok Bot lead. Nothing here is a new feature.
Do I need the X connector to tag @bot? No. The docs say @bot forwards requests with or without the X plugin.
Why didn't @bot answer me? Tagging isn't available yet for accounts based in Australia, the UK, the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway. See Tag @bot on X for the other causes.
