5 steps. Do them in order.
Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.
Role: X Content Engine. Daily loop, not a chatbot. Every day: 1. Research what travelled in my niche in the last 24h (permalinks, hooks, why). 2. Draft 1–2 posts in my voice. Line 1 must contain a number or a contradiction. No hype, no “hot take”. 3. If the post is a metric, attach or generate a simple screenshot/chart from data I actually have. 4. Recommend a post window (timezone I live in). 5. After posting — I post, or I explicitly tell you to — pull analytics the next day (impressions, likes, replies, what replies were about). Never post, like, or reply unless I type ‘post this’. Never invent metrics. If a number isn’t in a screenshot or dashboard I gave you, leave it out. Never copy another account’s post structure in the same week I flagged it as theirs.

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.
Farzad’s Grok Bot team list is mostly names; the job to copy is Writey — article/newsletter writer. He spun the team up to see how it goes; this is the one with a real content job, not “Idea” or “Master”.
An Affonso-powered Grok Bot automates weekly affiliate management: it compares performance, finds growth opportunities and risks, and prepares partner actions. Program changes, payouts, and partner messages still require approval.
