Research what people have said about a topic across social and web sources in the past 30 days.

About last30days

last30days is a Grok Bot template for researching recent public discussion instead of relying on older pages that happen to rank well.

What it does

The current x.ai listing says the Bot researches what people have said about a topic in the previous 30 days. It can draw from Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, and the wider web, then turn that material into a sourced brief.

First-run setup installs the current last30days skill from GitHub and walks through several data-source tools. The listing also says the Bot checks GitHub for a newer skill version every 30 days. That makes the setup more involved than a self-contained chat and means users should review the repository, requested access, and source coverage before relying on it.

Who it is for

The clearest fit is a researcher, marketer, founder, or product team that needs a time-bounded view of current conversation. It is a poor fit when the task needs a complete historical archive, private community data, or evidence from a source the configured tools cannot access.

Public feedback

20 public replies reviewed on September 20, 2026. This is a bounded public sample, not verified usage telemetry.

  • Several people said they planned to try or immediately add the template; one reply described the underlying skill as a frequent tool, but did not provide independently verifiable usage data.
  • One person reported being unable to add the template. Matt said he had reported the problem to the product team, but the thread did not show the final resolution.
  • Most remaining replies were short reactions or creator responses, so the sample does not establish source completeness or the quality of the resulting briefs.
