A watcher bot for structural change, not news: silent until your thesis needs updating
Ten news items a day about a theme you follow still don't tell you when the picture has actually changed.
What hurt
unicome.eth (@unicome163) wrote (in Chinese) about using Grok Bot as a personal AI organization, with separate bots for research, writing and errands. One concrete use: a bot that watches a technology theme the author tracks on X and stays quiet until something structural changes. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Name the companies, engineers and conferences to watch, and write down the specific change that would make you revise your view (for example, a new large platform adopting the technology). The bot doesn't send a daily digest; it alerts only when one of those triggers shows up. Each bot keeps its own context and permissions, so the research bot never holds payment access.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins

Optional
Routines
Thesis watch. Daily scan, alert only on a trigger. Check the watch list for the named structural changes; otherwise stay silent.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/unicome163/status/2108834185087730159 (credit @unicome163).
- 2Write your current view on one theme in two sentences.
- 3List who to watch (companies, engineers, conferences) and the changes that would revise your view.
- 4Schedule a daily scan with "if none of the triggers appear, say nothing."
- 5When it alerts, ask for the sources before you change your view.
Approval fence
Research only. It never trades or acts on the signal; that call stays with you.
What to tweak
Don't ask it to stop you missing news; ask it to stop you missing the change that matters.

Pro pack
Daily research digest: one cited page, plus a watcher that stays quiet
Newsletters go to your bot’s address, X topics and feeds get read for you, and one cited page lands at 07:30 with why each item matters to your work. A separate watcher speaks only when your named triggers fire.
