Grok Bot can now phone US businesses for you
Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you. can now make phone calls for you. The official @grok account says it works on eligible US accounts (not in Washington or Illinois), to US numbers, in the latest iPhone app, and is still rolling out. You tell your Bot who to call and what you need, and it talks to the person for you.
What we learned
Elon Musk told people on 3 Nov to try asking Grok Bot to make calls. There is no changelog entry for it yet, says the unofficial site grokbot.guru.
Users say you approve each call first on an Approval card A prompt in Grok Bot that asks you to say yes before the Bot takes an action like a call or a payment., a live transcript shows during the call, and the Bot asks you in the chat if it needs a detail it does not have.
The Grok Bot Terms (updated 31 Oct, section 2.7) say you are the Caller of record The person legally responsible for a phone call. For Grok Bot calls, that is you, not the Bot.. Only call people who agreed to hear from you. Marketing, mass calls, fraud, harassment and impersonation are not allowed.
Every call says a virtual assistant is calling for you and may be recorded, and you cannot turn that off. It is not a phone service and cannot reach emergency numbers.
Why it matters: Hold music and phone menus are a big time sink. For now this only works in the US, so Malaysian users cannot use it yet.
