A home network security bot that maps your network, spots unknown devices, risky open ports, and known vulnerabilities, and walks you through fixes.
What this Grok bot does
It only looks unless you say yes to a specific change, and setup is 5 short steps on a computer you leave on at home.
Net Watch at a glance
Net Watch is an on demand life bot shared by @bradshannon and first listed on 2026-10-20. It works when you message it rather than on a timer, which keeps usage low. 3 independent public catalogs list it, and its x.ai share link was last checked live on 2026-10-20.
Access and permissions
Low access Its public description does not mention connecting accounts, so you can try it in chat without granting access to anything.
No account access mentioned in the public description.
Derived from the public description. The live configuration on x.ai is the source of truth — review it before adding.
Before you add Net Watch
- Start with a bot that needs no integrations, then add access one account at a time.
- Open the x.ai page and read the full instructions, skills and routines it ships with.
Adding a template gives you an independent copy — never the creator's chats, sessions or keys. How adding a Grok Bot template works.
