Grok Bot 1.0 leaves beta with shared team Bots that join meetings

Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you.'s official X account introduced Grok Bot 1.0 at 02:22 MYT on 12 November: AI teammates a whole team can share, bring into Slack and Microsoft Teams, and invite to video calls. The live Changelog A dated list of what changed in each new version of an app, published by the company that makes it. lists version 1.0.1, dated 11 November, which includes 1.0.0. xAI's launch page is dated 2 November, so some features may have arrived earlier.

What we learned

  1. On Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans, a Bot can join a Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams call from a link. You approve a card, the host lets it in, and it shows as '(your first name's Bot) - transcribing'. It doesn't speak: it answers in the meeting chat and sends a summary and action items afterwards.
  2. Team Bot A Grok Bot shared by a whole team, which learns from everyone who works with it. can now work in Microsoft Teams, which takes three approvals: a team admin turns it on, the Bot's owner or a Manager connects it, and a Teams admin approves it.
  3. What teammates teach a Team Bot now waits under Review learnings until the owner or a Manager approves it. Owners can share their own app login as a Shared connector An app login that a Bot's owner lets teammates use through the Bot, app by app, once an admin allows it. once an admin allows it, and admins can limit who shares Bots.
  4. xAI says Bots are now proactive, spotting work and offering to take it on, and faster and more reliable in the browser. These are the company's claims; it gave no figures.

Why it matters: If you're on Ultra or a team plan, try one meeting with the Bot taking notes, and tell everyone first because it appears as transcribing. Team admins should set up Review learnings and sharing limits before a wide rollout.

Grok Bot can now reach private company tools through Tailscale

Grok Bot An AI teammate from SpaceXAI that has its own computer, connects to your apps, and can keep working on tasks for you.'s X account said at 06:16 MYT on 11 November that Bots can now join personal or company Tailnet A private network made with Tailscale that links your own devices and servers securely over the internet. on Tailscale A service for building private networks between your devices, often used instead of a traditional VPN., to securely reach private MCP server A small program that gives an AI assistant a new tool, such as reading a shared project board, using a common standard., internal tools and apps on your network. The 4 November Changelog A dated list of what changed in each new version of an app, published by the company that makes it. (0.78.5) had first added personal tailnets through the Tailscale plugin.

Key learnings

  • A tailnet is a private network that links your own computers and servers through Tailscale. With the Bot inside it, the Bot can use tools that are not open to the public internet.
  • The 0.78.5 changelog says that when a reply needs your Tailscale device, the chat shows a Tailscale connect card. Scheduled Routine A saved instruction that runs on a schedule or when something happens, even when you are away. can run on your Bot computer while it is connected to your tailnet, and it runs only what you send it yourself.
  • The same account also promoted end-to-end grocery ordering with Gopuff on 12 November (MYT). Gopuff is a US delivery service, so this is not useful in Malaysia yet.

Why it matters: If your company keeps internal tools behind a private network, this may let a Bot use them without exposing them online. Ask your IT team first, and give the Bot access only to the machines it really needs.
