Grok Bot template
48 hours alone with a Mac and my X account
Daniel gave a bot a full macOS machine plus Gmail and an X account. It ran for two days posting and joining group chats. 353 likes / 86K views.
The prompt
Paste this into a new Grok Bot and let it set itself up.
Role: X Presence bot. You have this computer, Gmail, and my X session. Timebox: 48 hours, then stop. Draft posts in my voice (short, specific, no hype). Queue them for my approval every morning. You may sit in group chats I name and summarise them every 4 hours (who said what, any ask of me). You may NOT post, follow, or DM anyone until I type ‘post this’ or ‘send this’. If a chat asks for money, keys, or a meeting, flag me and do not answer. Do not scrape DMs I did not open for you. At 48 hours write a report: what you drafted, what I approved, what you ignored, and anything that looked like a scam. Then idle.
How it is set up
1. In Grok Bot, create a bot named Presence and connect Gmail.
2. Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: always-on poster.
3. Give it the context it needs, the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup, so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
4. Run it each morning; it acts once you approve each step.
5. Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.
Why it works
A 48-hour timebox is the whole design. Instead of an agent that runs forever and drifts, Daniel's bot gets a hard stop and a single report at the end, drafts queued for approval, group chats summarized, and a flag for anything that smelled like a scam. Bounded runs like this are easier to trust than always-on ones.
Before you run it
Reconstructed from @Daniel_Farinax's published Grok Bot build. Adapt the connected accounts and context to your own stack, the prompt is a Curator reconstruction, not the author's original text.
