Automate a content site with review before publishing
A Grok Bot agent handled most of a free AI guide site for older adults, while the owner approved anything public.
- What they did
- Exo, a Grok Bot component, ran on a schedule alongside Robert. Every day around 2am ET, it pulled in news, rebuilt the site, scanned pages and outbound links, and swapped out broken links. Twice a week it updated a trending page, and once a week it added new pages and drafted a newsletter. It also submitted the site to directories, while newsletters, social posts, and emails were held for Robert to review.
- How it went
- After three days, the site had 97 pages and 24 guides. The system checked 187 links, replaced 9 broken ones, and reported 0 dead links left. All 6 routine runs completed successfully, and 12 items were still waiting on Robert.
- Tips
- Keep public actions human-approved if you want to avoid accidental sends or unwanted changes. This setup was only observed for three days, so treat the results as a short snapshot rather than long-term proof.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Help me run my website [site name] for [audience] as a [short description]. On a daily schedule, find relevant updates, draft one new [guide/article] on [topic area], rebuild or deploy the site if needed, and check every page plus external link for problems. Once a week, add fresh pages and prepare a newsletter draft; twice a week, refresh the [trending page/topic page]. Before you do anything public or irreversible โ including publishing, sending emails, posting on social media, submitting directories, deleting content, or launching deploys โ pause and show me the exact item for approval. End each run with a short status report listing what you completed, what you fixed, and what still needs my review.
