xAI releases Grok Bot 1.0
xAI has made Grok Bot generally available, moving its AI teammates out of beta with shared team memory, unprompted task pickup, and access through Slack, Microsoft Teams and video calls.
xAI announced Grok Bot 1.0 on Wednesday, ending the product's beta. Much of the release builds on the shared Team Bots that we covered earlier.
The company frames 1.0 around bots that understand a team's work and the people doing it. A single Team Bot can now be shared with specific people or groups and used inside Slack or Microsoft Teams. In multi-person conversations, xAI says the bot follows who is involved, adds relevant information and offers to take on tasks. It can also coordinate with other bots, for example by updating campaign materials once a team settles on a direction.
The most significant change is proactive behaviour. xAI says bots can monitor ongoing projects, notice approaching deadlines or unfinished work, suggest next steps and bring people in when a decision needs human judgment. Bots can also join video calls and take part through the chat, track decisions and draw on earlier conversations. As people use a bot, it learns their preferences, and when one user teaches it a better way to do a task, that improvement carries over to everyone who uses the bot.
To address shared-space risks, xAI says bots respect each user's permissions, ask before taking sensitive actions and check whether information is appropriate to post in a public channel.
Team Bots are available on Team and Enterprise plans. Meetings are available on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans, and Enterprise admins must turn the feature on. xAI published no benchmarks, usage figures or pricing changes. Its post refers to other improvements since the beta but does not list them.
