AI assistant Grok Bot now works with a whole team, including in video calls

SpaceXSI, Elon Musk's AI company, released version 1.0 of its AI assistant Grok Bot in November 2026. In early November, Grok Bot could already phone companies on behalf of its users, for example to negotiate a bill. That was an assistant for one person. The new version turns it into a colleague that a whole team can use.

Grok Bot is an AI agent: an assistant that does not just answer questions, but carries out tasks itself.

An assistant for the whole team

The owner of a Bot can now share it with selected colleagues or groups. The team then uses it in the chat apps Slack and Microsoft Teams. SpaceXSI had been testing these shared Bots publicly since September, the news site Tao Media reports.

The Bot can also join video calls in Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. It takes part through the call's chat, takes notes, brings in information from earlier conversations and keeps track of what was decided. Afterwards, according to SpaceXSI's user guide, it sends a summary with the agreed tasks.

Suggesting work by itself

Also new is that, according to SpaceXSI, the Bot notices work that needs doing and offers to take it on. It follows up on tasks that are not yet finished, and brings in people when a decision needs their judgement.

The Bot learns from the people it works with. If a team member teaches it a better way to do a task, the whole team can benefit. Such a suggested lesson first goes to the owner or a manager, who approves or rejects it. What the Bot learns about someone personally stays between that person and the Bot. According to SpaceXSI, the Bot also takes into account what each team member is allowed to see, asks permission before sensitive actions and checks whether information is suitable for a channel that everyone can read.

The company also says the Bot now works better and more reliably on websites and makes better documents and presentations. It can create pages that the team edits together or that it updates itself, and it works better with Gmail, Google Calendar and GitHub, the site where programmers store their code. According to SpaceXSI, a task also takes less computing power.

Shared Bots are part of the Team and Enterprise plans, which are meant for businesses. Joining video calls is also possible with the Ultra plan. With Enterprise, an administrator must first switch that feature on.

What does this mean for the road to the singularity?

AI assistants are becoming more and more independent. First they answered questions, then they carried out tasks for one person, and now they work within a whole team and suggest work themselves. That brings AI closer to a colleague who helps think about what needs to be done. People stay in charge: what the Bot learns from the team is first approved by a human. The next step is for companies to show how much work such a shared assistant takes over in practice.
