SpaceXAI upgrades Grok Bot with free X post search and trend monitoring

SpaceXAI has upgraded the X search and monitoring features inside its AI assistant, Grok Bot, opening read-only access to all users without requiring them to bind an X account or set up a connector. With the update, users can use built-in tools to search X, read posts and track trending topics directly. The company said the new capability also works with Grok Bot’s existing scheduled task function, allowing ongoing monitoring of product reviews, breaking news and industry developments, with results compiled on a recurring basis. According to developers, read-only queries on X are now available for free, though the service is still subject to rate limits. The specific amount of free usage has not been disclosed. SpaceXAI added that actions beyond read-only access, including posting, still require an X connector to be configured. The update expands access to monitoring functions, but full interaction with the platform has not been opened under the free setup.
