Stating the request and sending a summary
Elon Musk, who leads SpaceXAI (formerly xAI) under SpaceX, posted on X on Oct. 25 (the evening of the same day Japan time) that the AI agent "Grok Bot" can now call people and businesses on users' behalf.
The bot places calls for the user, states the request, takes notes on the other party's replies and sends the user a summary of the conversation. Users can hand off errands that can only be handled by phone, such as inquiries to service providers or confirming reservations.
Eligibility not yet announced
Musk did not say which plans or which countries the feature is available in. It is also unclear what number is shown to the person receiving the call or whether the bot identifies itself as an AI. The official @bot account had not posted details on availability as of the morning of the 25th.
A string of new features in one week
Grok Bot has been adding features one after another since the start of October. It added support for the iPhone Action button on the 19th, replies to X direct messages on the 20th, and control of smartphone calendars and contacts on the 22nd. From the 21st to the 23rd, it released six features, including "Pages" for creating reports and a 1Password integration.
Meta's agent "Muse" can also place calls on users' behalf.
