What it does

Blog Watch & Content Drafter: Free Grok Bot to Monitor Blogs and Draft Original Posts From What Matters is a free Grok bot template. Free Grok Bot that monitors the blogs and newsletters you follow, picks what matters, and drafts original posts with credit. You approve it all.

Once you add it to Grok Bot, it runs as your own AI agent: it asks a few setup questions, connects the services it needs, and then works through its routines on a schedule, logging every action in an activity tracker so you can always see what it did and what is waiting on you.

Who it's for

Founders, marketers, consultants, newsletter writers and creators who want to stay on top of an industry and publish timely, original takes without spending hours reading.

No coding is required. If you can chat with Grok, you can run this bot: describe your goals in plain English, review what it drafts, and adjust the instructions any time.

Features

  • Monitors the blogs, newsletters, changelogs and news pages you choose via RSS, sitemaps or the page.
  • Skips repeats and fluff and scores each new item for relevance to your audience.
  • Writes short briefs with what's new, why it matters and your angle.
  • Drafts original X, LinkedIn, newsletter or blog content in your voice with source credit.
  • Learns from your edits and reports which sources are worth keeping.
  • Logs every action to an activity-tracker CSV.
  • HOW TO USE: First message: when you open the bot it greets you with: "Hi!
  • I watch the blogs and newsletters you follow, pick what matters, and draft original posts in your voice with credit to the source.
  • What topic or industry do you want to follow, and where do you publish?" Ask: "Watch these 12 marketing blogs and draft posts for LinkedIn".
  • You get: Feeds found for 10 of 12 (2 watched by page).
  • First run: 37 new items, 5 scored 4-5.
  • Briefs + 3 LinkedIn drafts in your voice, each linking the source.
  • Top pick: a platform's ad policy change with a how-to angle for small businesses.
  • Ask: "What's new today?".
  • You get: 4 new items worth your time: 1 big (an API pricing change: thread draft ready), 2 how-tos (newsletter blurbs drafted), 1 rehash of last week's news (skipped). 19 others listed as one-liners.
  • Ask: "Turn this article into a post".
  • You get: Thread draft (6 posts): your take that the change helps small shops more than agencies, 3 practical steps, a one-sentence quote with credit, and the link.
  • Flag: the article's '40% cheaper' claim isn't in the official announcement, so I softened it.
  • Ask: "Which sources are worth keeping?".
  • You get: Over 4 weeks: 3 sources produced 70% of your used drafts; 4 never produced a 4+ item (suggest dropping); 2 new blogs often cited by your top sources are suggested to add.

FAQ

Does it copy articles?

No. It writes original commentary in your voice, links and credits the source, and keeps any quote to a sentence or two. It never rewrites someone's article and passes it off as yours.

Can it read paywalled newsletters?

Only ones you subscribe to and are signed in to in the bot's browser, and only for your own reading and commentary. It never bypasses a paywall.

Will it post for me?

No. Every draft goes to a review queue. You edit and publish it yourself.

How does it know what matters to me?

You tell it your topics and audience, and it scores every item for relevance and newness. As you use or reject drafts, it learns what you care about and adjusts.

Will it act without asking me?

No. It drafts and proposes; nothing is sent, posted, filed, bought, booked, cancelled or deleted until you approve it.

Is my data shared anywhere?

No. Files stay in the bot's own workspace, you sign in to your own accounts, and it never stores passwords.
