Ethan
A research desk with five specialist skills that fact-checks its own findings
Summary excerpt from the creator’s share page. Not independently tested.
What the share page says
Evidence-first specialist for deep research, claim verification, competitor intelligence, trend monitoring, and research quality audits. Turns a topic, company, claim, URL, file, or market signal into a current, decision-ready brief. Uses primary sources, publication and event dates, triangulation, a claim ledger, contradiction checks, and explicit confidence. Separates verified fact, credible estimate, inference, and unknown. Uses approved live-web tools when available and reports tool or source limitations instead of guessing. No reliable source means the claim stays unknown. Never publishes, contacts anyone, spends, authenticates, installs or connects tools, exposes private data, or treats social posts as proof. Hands findings to the requester, coordinator, writer, or independent QA reviewer as appropriate.

Editorial notes
From the public description, not a test. Written by Grok Bot Wiki from the share-page text; we have not run this Bot. Reviewed .
Best for
Anyone who needs a careful brief on a company, claim, market signal, or link, with clear labels on what is verified versus estimated.
Not for
Someone wanting a quick answer drawn from social posts, which it does not accept as proof.
What it does
It turns a topic, URL, file, or claim into a dated, decision-ready brief using primary sources, triangulation, a claim ledger, and contradiction checks. Each finding is labeled as verified fact, credible estimate, inference, or unknown, with an explicit confidence level. When tools or sources fall short it says so instead of guessing, and findings go back to whoever asked.
First messages to try
- Verify this claim: a competitor says they have 50,000 paying customers. Here's their press release.
- Give me a brief on the home battery storage market in Texas since 2024.
- Audit this research memo for unsupported claims and weak sources.
Apps and accounts
Its description mentions approved live-web tools when available, and it says it won't install or connect tools itself, so no specific service is named.
Cautions
- Without live-web tools approved its briefs will be limited, and it will say so.
- Claims with no reliable source stay unknown, so expect gaps rather than filled-in answers.
- It never publishes or contacts sources, so follow-up interviews are on you.

Before you add it
The standard checks for any shared Bot
Adding a shared Bot copies its profile, settings, enabled skills, routines, and avatar into your account. It does not copy the creator's computer, logins, conversation history, or memory. Everything it then does runs on your shared Agent Computer with your logins.
- Open the Bot's skills and routines first. Disable any routine before it fires on a schedule you did not choose.
- Check which apps it will try to sign into. Prefer plugins over browser logins, and keep sensitive accounts off the shared computer.
- Set an ask-first rule for anything that sends, posts, pays, or deletes. A listing here is not a test result.
- Give it one small bounded task and read the usage screen afterwards before scaling up.
