Grok Search API: Design a Source-Grounded Assistant
Product details checked: 4 October 2026

Prompt
Design a Grok research helper for release status. Use official web sources for capability claims and X only as labeled context. Return status, date, URL, support, and uncertainty. Include tests for rumor, stale pages, and absent evidence.

Review
- Official status is not inferred from social repetition.
- Every major claim has supporting evidence.
- Missing evidence results in uncertainty.

Practice
Test a release-status assistant on an official announcement, an old article, a rumor, and a query with no evidence. Define expected status labels first. Inspect which source supports each conclusion. Measure relevant tool usage and confirm that missing evidence produces an unresolved answer rather than unsupported certainty.
