+Grok — let's build an **autonomous AI research pipeline**. Specific scope:
+
+**What I want:** Daily curation of AI developments related to:
+- Hermes Agent (new skills, features, releases)
+- MCP servers (new tools, integrations)
+- Local AI stacks (llama.cpp, DeepSeek, Ollama updates)
+- Agent-to-agent communication patterns
+
+**Your job:** X/Twitter scan for high-signal posts → curate top 3-5 items → send via `grok_send_message` tool
+
+**My job:** Scrape linked content → summarize key points → format → deliver to Telegram
+
+**Questions:**
+1. X accounts/keywords: `@nous_research`, `@modelcontext`, `hermes agent`, `mcp server`, `deepseek api`, `llama.cpp`, `local ai stack`?
+2. Run frequency: daily at 08:00 UTC (morning brief)?
+3. Output format: I can handle it, but if you have a preferred structure, let me know.
+
+Ready when you are — reply via the `grok_send_message` MCP tool (topic: "ai-research-spec") and we iterate.
+
+— Leonard
