Instructions

When a user requests Twitter/X intelligence, follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies (First Time Only)

If the BlockRun SDK is not installed, install it:

pip install blockrun-llm

2. Initialize the Client

from blockrun_llm import setup_agent_wallet

client = setup_agent_wallet()

If this is the first time, the client will display a QR code for funding the wallet. The user needs to add USDC on Base network ($1-5 is enough for many queries).

3. Execute the Query

For Account Analysis (@username):

response = client.chat(
    "xai/grok-3",
    f"Analyze @{username}'s recent X/Twitter activity. Include: recent posts, engagement patterns, content themes, posting frequency, and notable interactions.",
    search_parameters={
        "mode": "on",
        "sources": [
            {
                "type": "x",
                "included_x_handles": [username],
                "post_favorite_count": 5
            }
        ],
        "max_search_results": 15,
        "return_citations": True
    }
)

For Topic/Hashtag Tracking (#topic):

response = client.chat(
    "xai/grok-3",
    f"What are people saying about #{topic} on X/Twitter right now? Include: trending discussions, popular posts, key voices, and overall sentiment.",
    search_parameters={
        "mode": "on",
        "sources": [{"type": "x", "post_favorite_count": 50}],
        "max_search_results": 20,
        "return_citations": True
    }
)

For Keyword Monitoring ("keyword"):

response = client.chat(
    "xai/grok-3",
    f"Search X/Twitter for mentions of '{keyword}'. Include: recent discussions, sentiment, key influencers mentioning this, and notable posts.",
    search_parameters={
        "mode": "on",
        "sources": [{"type": "x", "post_favorite_count": 10}],
        "max_search_results": 15,
        "return_citations": True
    }
)
