What they did

Bookmarks pile up and get forgotten. Jeston Lu built a Grok Bot that scrapes saved X posts every 6 hours and auto-categorizes them into a Notion database so the archive stays searchable.

How it went

High-engagement firsthand build (1.6k+ likes, 2.7k bookmarks) with Notion screenshots in-thread. Interval and schema details are from the author; exact prompt cleaned

Worth knowing

  • Native X bookmark access may need an automation or API credits depending on the connector.
  • Notion rate limits and duplicate detection need a stable unique key (post URL or ID).
  • High-engagement firsthand build (1.6k+ likes, 2.7k bookmarks) with Notion screenshots in-thread. Interval and schema details are from the author; exact prompt cleaned.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Every [6 hours], fetch my new X bookmarks since the last run. For each post, open it, extract the author, URL, text, topics and a one-line why-it-matters summary, then upsert a row in my Notion [Bookmarks] database. Skip duplicates. Do not post or like anything.

Recommended

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
