Where to start#
You need your X account and a link to a public post or a clearly defined question. Investigate a specific claim rather than a vague “what is happening today”. That makes the result easier to verify.
Grok inside X and standalone Grok may have different settings. Do not apply a button path from one product to the other.
Check a specific post#
- Open the original post and copy its link. Note the author, date and context.
- Paste the link into Grok and explain which claim needs checking.
- Request links to primary evidence and a separation of verified and uncertain points.
- Open the links yourself. Compare the source text with what the answer attributes to it.
Check the claim in this public post: [link]. Separate what the author says, what the primary source confirms and what remains unverified. Give the event date and publication date. If you cannot open the link, say so; do not invent its contents.
The intended result is a short brief with primary links and unresolved questions. This is an example prompt; success on a particular post was not personally tested.
What to check before using the answer#
- Quotation: does the source contain those words, or is it a paraphrase?
- Timing: is a new post describing an older event?
- Scope: is this one person’s experience or evidence about a wider group?
- Origin: is the link merely another copy of the same unverified claim?
If the answer did not read the link, paste a short relevant excerpt and label it as the author’s claim. Do not present it as confirmed fact. For a disputed claim, look for the original document or the affected party’s statement too.
Privacy and subscriptions on X#
Check X and standalone Grok settings separately using Privacy. Chatting, publishing a post and sending someone a link are different actions; review both content and audience before sharing.
If you are moving from legacy X Premium, see subscription transition. The word Premium in an old guide is not enough to establish current benefits. On legacy X Premium, which existing subscribers keep at their current price until they switch, only Premium+ includes SuperGrok and Grok Bot; the Premium plan with Grok Bot in the Grok Bot chapter is part of The X Subscription.
If the icon is missing, check the account and app version. Compare web and mobile, but do not treat a difference as proof that a feature was removed. For X account questions, use X Help.
Distinguish @grok from @bot#
Do not confuse tagging @grok with handing a task to Bot through @bot. Find the workflow and conditions for this integration in Grok Bot on X.
This restriction concerns handing a task to a Bot through a post tag. Do not treat it as evidence that ordinary chat through the Grok icon or the entire Grok Bot app is unavailable in Europe.
