Quick Answers

What tools do you need?

Grok (ai assistant with live x context).

How much does it cost?

You can start for $0: Grok has a free plan. Check each tool's site for current prices.

X allows original content; deceptive synthetic media likely to cause harm can be labeled or removed, and paid posts must be disclosed. Source.

Watch out: Free models can be weaker. Test what it builds before you rely on it.
