Why Grok Matters for Product Managers
Grok reaches people on X following news and industry discussion, and when they ask what your product does, it paraphrases whatever public pages it can use from real-time X search plus web search. Product managers own the facts it gets wrong: stale features, old pricing and positioning you have moved away from. Each launch is a chance to correct the record.
The Grok Mistake to Avoid
Writing robots.txt rules for a Grok crawler. Grok documents none, so those rules change nothing; what Grok can use comes from real-time X search plus web search.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Grok describe features we've changed?
It can only repeat what it finds. If older pages, docs or third-party write-ups still describe the old behaviour, they compete with your current page. Update or redirect the outdated source and make the current page state the change plainly.
How should a product manager check Grok after a launch?
Ask Grok the same set of feature and comparison questions before and after the launch, and compare the answers to your release notes. Where it lags, check that the public page for that feature states the change in plain sentences.
