X has started an invite-only Grok Bot Template Rewards pilot that pays selected creators for public Grok Bot templates people actually use, shifting its creator-incentive model from content alone toward reusable AI workflows. The program began on September 25, 2026, runs as an evaluation pilot for roughly two months, and initially determines rewards every two weeks.
