AI Setups That Work

Research, draft, and shortlist on X

Tested by AI Setups That Work. Ran on Grok Bot, Oct 30, 2026, without the template: 22 real X posts on agent memory researched, 1 draft held for approval. The shortlist had no viral posts to pick.

What it does

Keep up with one X topic, AI coding, agents, or models, with research, drafts, and a shortlist, while you approve everything before it goes out.

Who it is for

For builders and writers who follow AI coding, agents, or models on X and want a daily research and drafting helper that never posts on its own.

Tools

Steps

  1. Add the X Researcher template by Melvin Vivas. Note that other templates share the same name from other creators; use the Melvin Vivas listing so you get the one described here.
  2. Give it one topic brief and ask for research first: what is being said, by whom, and with what evidence.
  3. Ask for drafts and replies only after the research, and edit every draft before anything goes out. Nothing posts on its own.
  4. Ask for a viral-post shortlist on the same topic, and study the shortlist for patterns instead of copying posts.
  5. Review the shortlist weekly and tighten the topic brief when it drifts. A stale brief returns stale posts.

The prompt

Research this X topic: [AI coding, agents, or models, plus your angle]. Return what is being said, who is saying it, and what evidence backs it. Then draft [one post or reply] in my voice from that research, and shortlist three viral posts on the same topic worth studying. Do not post, reply, or send anything. Show me every draft for approval first.
