Direct answer: On August 29 xAI announced the first version of Grok Bot's X integration — connect your X account via the X connector inside Grok Bot (a developer account is auto-created if you don't have one), and Bots can search posts, read your timeline, check mentions and summarize what's happening on X. Paid Grok Bot users get free X API credits. This is the first platform-native connector in Grok Bot's 18 days since launch.
What version one does: read-only X reconnaissance
Every operation in the official announcement is read-side: search posts, read your timeline, check mentions, and pull together what's happening on X — the classic use case is having a Bot watch topics, gather sentiment and summarize. Write operations (posting, replies, DMs) are absent from the announcement, and xAI states plainly "This is the first version of this integration", promising continuous improvements toward letting Bots "do real work" on X.
Access and threshold:
- X connector login: connect your X account directly inside Grok Bot;
- Auto developer-account provisioning: in xAI's words, "Connect your X account in Grok Bot and we'll create a developer account for you if you don't have one" — removing the most annoying step of DIY X integrations;
- Paid perk: paid Grok Bot users receive free X API credits to start.
How to read it: cloud-computer agents move into their home platform
Grok Bot positions each Bot on a persistent cloud computer that logs into tools and apps (see our launch coverage). Before this, working with X meant the generic browser path; the native connector means xAI is turning its own social platform into a first-class Bot capability — the same philosophy OpenClaw's ecosystem applies to 50+ messaging channels (compare the channel guides and our office-agent roundup). For content operators, the entry cost of monitoring workflows drops another notch; for self-hosters, the credits-based read-only X API is worth weighing against the self-hosted cost-control checklist.
Pace-wise, Grok Bot's August has been dense: beta on Aug 11 → plan expansion on Aug 21/26 → X integration v1 on Aug 29 — launch, price cut and platformization in three weeks.

Direct answer: xAI 于 8 月 29 日官宣 Grok Bot 与 X 平台的整合第一版——用户在 Grok Bot 内通过 X connector 连接自己的 X 账号（没有开发者账号会自动代为开通），Bot 即可搜索帖子、读取时间线、查看提及、汇总「X 上正在发生什么」；付费 Grok Bot 用户附赠 X API credits。这是 Grok Bot 发布 18 天来第一个平台级原生连接器。
第一版能做什么：只读型「X 侦察」
官方公告列举的操作全部是读类：搜索帖子、读取时间线、检查提及（mentions）、汇总 X 上的实时动态——典型场景是让 Bot 替你盯话题、拉舆情、汇总结论。写入类操作（发帖、回复、私信）在公告中均未出现，官方明确「This is the first version of this integration」，后续会持续改进让 Bot 在 X 上「do real work」。
接入方式与门槛：
- X connector 登录：在 Grok Bot 内直接连接 X 账号；
- 开发者账号自动开通：官方原话 “Connect your X account in Grok Bot and we’ll create a developer account for you if you don’t have one”——抹平了此前自建 X 接入最烦的一步；
- 付费福利：付费 Grok Bot 用户获得免费的 X API credits 起步额度。
怎么看：云电脑 Agent 开始「住进」自家平台
Grok Bot 的定位是每 Bot 一台常驻云电脑、可登录工具与应用的「AI 队友」（详见本站发布报道）。此前它操作 X 靠通用浏览器路径；这次的原生 connector 意味着 xAI 开始把自家社交平台做成 Bot 的一等能力——这与 OpenClaw 生态把 50+ 消息渠道作为一等公民的思路殊途同归（对照渠道接入指南与横评）。对内容运营者：舆情监控类工作流的最低门槛又降了一档；对自托管用户：X 只读 API 的 credits 模式值得对照自托管成本控制清单评估。
节奏上，Grok Bot 八月的动作密度不低：08-11 beta 发布 → 08-21/26 套餐扩容 → 08-29 X 整合第一版，三周走完「发布→降价→平台化」。
