Let Grok Bot help run your X account, but stop every task one step before posting
A Japanese author spent 3 hours having Grok Bot send daily topic ideas, write drafts and find accounts worth replying to. Drafts are saved to a scheduling tool with no time set, and he always presses post himself.
Start step 1 ↓The problem
Running a company or personal X account takes over an hour a day just finding topics and people to reply to. Letting AI post on its own means you don't know what's going out under your name.

How to do it
- 1
Agree on one rule first
Every task stops one step before posting. It can write drafts and find candidates, but you post and reply.
Prompt - 2
5 topics by 8 pm every evening
Each comes with "why write it now," so you just pick one the next morning.
PromptReplace the 1 ✎ dashed part with your own details, then copy.
Set up a routine: by 8 pm every day, send me 5 X post topics for tomorrow about your field (sample, replace with yours). Give each a one-line "why write it now." Don't repeat topics from the last 30 days or ones I deleted. - 3
Use one AI to write and another to score
The author has one AI write and a different one score, because grading your own work is too lenient. He checks only three things: does the opening make you read on, are there factual errors, and can the reader try it right away.

Save drafts to the scheduler with no time set
It tells you in chat once a draft is saved, and you pick the time. If you don't like it, delete it.

Log deleted drafts as "not used" every night
You don't need to explain why; the bot avoids similar angles next time.

Reply candidates 3 times a day
It looks only at 3 popular accounts in your field and suggests an angle for each. You write the replies yourself.
