SpaceXSI released Grok Bot 1.0, and the official @bot account then announced that Bots can now join meetings: paste a Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams link, approve the card, and the Bot joins as a transcribing participant, takes notes, answers when addressed in the meeting chat, and sends a summary and action items after the call. Meetings are on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans with an Enterprise admin switch; the same release brings Team Bots into Microsoft Teams and adds shared connectors and review of team learnings.
Key Takeaways
- ✓To add it, paste the meeting link into the Bot's chat and ask it to join and take notes, approve the card, and the host admits it; a Bot that follows your calendar can join scheduled meetings on its own
- ✓During the call, address the Bot by name in the meeting chat; a Zoom private chat gets a private answer, it never shares your credentials, and if someone asks for something it held back it tells you who asked
- ✓Disable Interactivity keeps it listening without answering, and scheduled meetings can be cancelled or the Bot told to quit; afterwards it sends a summary and action items, plus a longer report page for Pages users
- ✓Enterprise admins switch Meetings on or off for everyone under Bot Capabilities in the team dashboard; when off, Bots cannot join or read meetings
- ✓The same release (changelog v1.0.1, November 11) brings Team Bots into Microsoft Teams, adds shared connectors and makes team learnings wait for owner approval; no transcription accuracy data was published

Background
Meeting notes and follow-ups are classic busywork, and most note-taking tools only record. SpaceXSI pitches Grok Bot as an AI teammate that takes on work, and version 1.0 brings meetings into scope: decisions it hears in a call can become tasks it handles afterwards.
Architecture highlights
The Bot joins as a regular participant labeled as transcribing and must be admitted by the host. It takes part only through the meeting chat: answers in the group chat when addressed, privately in Zoom private chat, and the meeting uses the settings of whoever started it. SpaceXSI says Bots bring in information from earlier conversations, track decisions and keep learning from the team; new learnings for a Team Bot only apply after the owner approves them under Review learnings.
Benchmarks and data
No transcription accuracy, latency or test data was published. For comparison, Anthropic launched Claude Meetings in beta a day earlier starting with Google Meet only; Grok Bot covers Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams at once.
Developer quick start
You need a Team, Enterprise or Ultra plan. Send the Bot a meeting link, ask it to join and take notes, and approve the card; manage scheduled meetings under Upcoming in the Bot's details to mute, cancel or remove it. On Enterprise, an admin first turns on Meetings under Bot Capabilities; to use a Team Bot in Microsoft Teams channels, a team admin enables it, an owner or Manager connects the Bot and a Teams admin approves it.
