Scobleizer built a custom news monitoring system using Grok Bot that scans ~20,000 curated X accounts across 4 personal lists. The bot runs hourly, parsing his curated feeds instead of raw timelines.
Key tech insight: Grok just gained list-reading capability this week, which unlocks personalized news aggregation at scale. The architecture is simple but effective—curated input lists + LLM parsing + scheduled execution.
This is basically a DIY news agent with controlled data sources. The "secret" is curation quality—garbage in, garbage out. With high-signal accounts, the bot becomes a personalized Reuters feed.
Still rough UI-wise, but functionally it beats doomscrolling 20k accounts manually. This pattern (curated lists → LLM → summarized output) is becoming the new RSS reader for 2025.
