"A major update to our AI teammates"
SpaceXSI (SpaceX Super Intelligence) has released version "1.0" of its AI agent "Grok Bot." The official news post describes 1.0 as "a major update to our AI teammates" and groups the improvements over the beta into three points: "Multiplayer teammates," "Proactive teammates" and "More capable teammates."
The official website's news list and the post itself are dated Nov. 2, and the post says Grok Bot 1.0 is being released that day. The date is given without a time, and no release time is stated. The official changelog labels its Nov. 11 entry v1.0.1 and notes that it "also includes 1.0.0." The official account @bot announced it on X on Nov. 11 (3:22 a.m. Nov. 12 Japan time) with a 79-second video.
Introducing Grok Bot 1.0. AI teammates that work alongside your whole team. Share Bots, collaborate with them in Slack and Teams, invite them to meetings, and watch them learn and become more helpful.
Since October, Grok Bot has added "Pages" for creating reports, shopping and a feature that makes phone calls on users' behalf. The official news post said Grok Bot began as a way to hand off work to AI, and that with 1.0 it understands a team's work and the people involved and can contribute just like any other coworker.
Teams share the same bot and collaborate in Slack and Teams
With "Team Bots," everyone on a team can work with the same bot. Bots can be shared with specific people or groups and used in Slack and Microsoft Teams. The bot follows conversations among multiple people, understands who is involved, and surfaces relevant information or offers to take on work.
The more people use it, the better the bot understands how the team works, learns individual preferences and remembers decisions, the company said. When someone teaches the bot a better way to do a task, that improvement benefits everyone who uses the bot. Based on what it has learned, the bot may also propose changes to how it works.
According to the changelog, what team members teach a Team Bot is held in "Review learnings" until the bot's owner or a "Manager" approves it. To use it in Microsoft Teams, the team's administrator enables the feature, the owner or a Manager connects the bot, and the Teams administrator approves it.
Joining meetings and summarizing afterward
According to the official documentation, the bot joins meetings on Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, listens and takes notes, and answers questions in the meeting chat. When the meeting ends, it sends a summary and action items in chat. If Pages is in use, it compiles longer reports into a page.
To have it join, users paste the meeting link into their chat with the bot, make the request and approve the card the bot shows. When the meeting starts, the organizer admits the bot. A bot that follows a calendar can also join scheduled meetings on its own. It does not share a user's login credentials, even if asked during a meeting.
The official news post said the bot joins meetings through chat, brings information from earlier conversations into the discussion and records decisions.
Proactively proposing work, confirming before sensitive actions
According to the official news post, the bot finds work before it is asked. It watches ongoing projects, notices points that need attention and proposes next steps based on the team's goals, procedures and priorities. As an example, it described a bot helping with a product launch that notices an approaching deadline and prepares the materials the team needs. It follows up on unfinished tasks, coordinates with other bots and brings in people for decisions that require human judgment.
Safeguards for multi-person settings were also added. The bot respects each person's permissions, confirms before sensitive actions and checks whether information can be shared in public channels. With "Smarter approvals," the bot more accurately distinguishes actions that have already been approved from those it should ask about again, reducing unnecessary interruptions while protecting sensitive information, the company said.
Browser operation has become faster and more reliable, enabling complex tasks such as creating documents and presentations. The company said it also reduced the resources needed for tasks.
Team Bots on Team and Enterprise, meetings on Ultra too
The official news post said Team Bots are offered on the Team and Enterprise plans, and meeting participation (Meetings) on the Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans. On Enterprise, administrators enable the meeting feature in settings.
According to the documentation, Enterprise administrators turn meeting participation on or off for everyone's bots at once under "Meetings" in "Bot Capabilities" on the Grok Bot page of the team dashboard. When it is off, bots can neither join meetings nor read meeting content.
According to the changelog, team administrators can restrict who can share bots with "Bot sharing." For owners and Managers to offer their own app logins as a shared connector, administrators must enable "Allow Shared Logins."
Changelog lists v1.0.1 dated Nov. 11
The official changelog labels its latest entry, dated Nov. 11, v1.0.1 and notes that it "Also includes 1.0.0." It is titled "Meetings, Microsoft Teams, and shared connectors," and there is no separate dated entry for 1.0.0 alone.
New features include meeting participation, connection to Microsoft Teams, shared connectors, Review learnings and Bot sharing, as well as a slider that changes voice speed between 0.5 and 2 times. Expired order cards now have "Check price again," which asks the bot for a new order card. Among improvements, comments that team members leave on a Team Bot's Pages now reach the bot. Among fixes, replies no longer fail with files of up to 250MB on the bot's computer.
