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.

How it runs

5 steps. Do them in order.

  1. 01In Grok Bot, create a bot named **Presence** and connect Gmail.
  2. 02Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: always-on poster.
  3. 03Give 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. 04Run it each morning; it acts once you approve each step.
  5. 05Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

What you get

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.

Prompt

Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.

Prompt
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.

Tips

  • ·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.

Screen your X replies for burners and insults

Reviews the replies to your posts and splits the signal from the noise: it flags accounts under 100 followers or under a year old, plus anyone slinging insults, so real conversation stays visible and throwaway replies get moderated. Jason Calacanis built it to keep his mentions classy.

A voice note becomes a live LinkedIn post

Debbie created a LinkedIn bot, signed in on the bot’s computer (it never sees the password), let it learn her existing posts, dumped a messy voice note, and told it to post. It posted. Receipt, not a draft-only demo.
