# Read one page instead of forty tabs with a Grok Bot for research

Templates in this category schedule a Grok Bot for research to sweep a named topic at 06:30 and post one brief with a link and a date beside every item.

The daily brief routine takes a named topic and a named source list. Generic topics produce generic briefs, so the template asks for the companies, the keywords and the sites before the first run. Each item in the output carries a link and a publication date, which is what lets you skip the ones you read yesterday.

The YouTube and podcast digest routine reads transcripts rather than descriptions. It returns the claims made, the timestamps and the names of anyone quoted, so a 90-minute episode becomes a page you scan in two minutes. Point it at a channel and it runs on new uploads instead of a clock.

Write the no-data policy into every research routine. Grok Bot documents no default for an empty result, so a quiet week produces whatever the model decides to produce unless the routine says otherwise. These templates say 'if nothing new appeared since the last run, reply with one line saying so', and that line is what keeps the brief trustworthy.
