Have a bot team review papers overnight
A developer had five Grok Bots read, test, and verify new papers overnight, then assemble a brief for morning review.
- What they did
- They started with one shared brief that laid out the goal, source list, final output, and deadline. Five Grok Bots split the work: one pulled claims from fresh papers and recorded sources and confidence notes, another chased down failed experiments and tried fixes, a third reran analyses and refreshed figures, a fourth checked code repositories for supporting evidence, and the last merged the confirmed points into a brief. Each handoff tracked what was done and what still needed attention.
- How it went
- The bots worked through the night while the user slept, producing investigations, reproductions, analysis, and a draft brief. Nothing could be sent, published, or paid for without a human approving it the next morning.
- Tips
- Keep the task broken into stages so each bot knows what to hand off. Make approval checkpoints explicit for anything that could commit you to a result, submission, or expense.
Try it yourself with Grok Bot
Overnight, help me review recent papers on [research topic] from [sources]. Split the work into [number] specialist bots: one to find new papers and extract the main claims with source links and confidence notes, one to trace failed experiments and try plausible fixes, one to rerun the analyses and update any figures, one to scan relevant repositories or supplementary material for supporting evidence, and one to compile a checked brief. After each stage, list what is finished and what still needs review. Stop and ask for my approval before any payment, submission, sending, or publishing. Have the final brief ready by [time].
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
