Elon Musk (@elonmusk) says your Grok @Bot will identify issues to resolve, notify you when they’re fixed, and continue the project. Paired with his demo of the bot pinging API changelogs, Grok Bot is shifting from chat assistant toward an ongoing engineering-agent loop.
Elon Musk (@elonmusk) quote-posts @bot’s launch: Grok Bot is now available on Android. Paired with recent issue-spotting, fix-notify, and keep-shipping features, xAI’s cloud coding agent now reaches mobile so developers can assign and track real work on the go.
Grok Bot, xAI's agent product, launched plugins that let bots read, write, and act across Microsoft accounts. After connecting Outlook, Calendar, and OneDrive, a bot can operate on mail, scheduling, and files instead of stopping at chat. The official @bot account posted the rollout, and Elon Musk quote-posted it as a Grok Bot upgrade, giving the feature unusually high visibility on the same day. For developers, this is a step from coding-only agents toward workplace actuators that can file attachments, schedule reviews, and pull docs into a task without a human copy-paste loop. The security model is plugin-scoped access rather than a fully open desktop, but teams will still need to treat mailbox and drive write access as production credentials. The launch sits alongside other late-August Grok Bot actuators such as template sharing and Stripe Link purchases, pointing to a broader bet that agents should hold tools, not just tokens.
Grok Bot shipped improved X support. Connecting an X profile now automatically provisions a developer account with included credits, collapsing the jump from a social login to a usable API identity. xAI pointed builders to x.ai/news/grok-bot-and-x for setup, including the X plugin path for Grok Bot.
