What if your phone could run itself? Not someday. Right now. There's an AI that just quietly grabbed the wheel. It can open your apps, add to your day, move things around for you, and most people scrolling past it have no clue it's already live. Stick with me because this one changes how you use your phone. Hey, if we haven't met already, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of AI SEO and geo agency Goldie Agency. Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers, I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. And today's update is [0:29] a big one because for the first time, this AI isn't stuck inside a chat window. It can reach right into the apps you already use every single day. By the end of this video, I'll show you exactly which apps it can touch, how to switch it on the Safeway, and the one thing it [0:42] still can't do yet. Let's get into it. So, here's what just dropped. On October 22nd, the official Grobot account posted that Grockbot can now use your calendar, your reminders, your contacts, and more apps right on your phone. and it's rolling out now on both iPhone and Android. Now, if you've used Grock before, you know it could already chat, answer questions, pull things off the [1:04] web, but it lived in its own little box. This is different. This update lets it step out of that box and actually do things on your device. Think about that for a second. Up until now, your AI could tell you what to do. Now, it can go and do it for you. That's a huge jump. And it puts Grockbot right up against the assistants you already know, like Siri and Google Assistant. Here's why that matters for you. Most people are going to hear about this weeks from now. You're hearing it today. And the folks who learn how these tools work early are the ones who get comfortable [1:30] with them before everyone else even starts. That head start is the whole thing. But before I break down every app it can touch. And I really want you to get why this feels so different because it's easy to scroll past and think it's just another small update. It's not. For a long time, your AI assistant could only talk. It could give you the steps, but you still had to go and tap every single thing in yourself. You were still [1:52] doing all the work. This flips that. Now, it can reach into your actual apps and handle those steps for you. You ask, it does. That's the real leap here. And it's what moves an AI from a helper you chat with to an assistant that actually acts. Once you see it that way, this whole update makes a lot more sense. So, let's walk through exactly what it can get into. Based on the announcement, there are six things on your phone it can connect to. First, your calendar. It can see your day and add events. So, instead of tapping around to book something in, you can just tell it what [2:21] you need and it slots it in for you. Second, reminders. It can set reminders and check them. So, if you want a nudge later, you could ask once and move on with your day. Third, contacts. It can find people and add new ones. Handy for when someone gives you a number and you don't want to stop what you're doing. Fourth, messages. It can read and send messages, so you could have it fire off a quick text without opening the app yourself. Fifth, location. It can find places near you. Think asking for somewhere close by without typing a [2:49] single thing. And six, the home app. This one's wild. It can control your smart home. So, lights, locks, that kind of thing. You could ask it to turn the lights off or lock the door and it just handles it. Let me pause for one quick second. Quick pause before I show you the next part. If you want to actually get your hands on tools like this one instead of just watching from the sidelines, that's exactly why we built the AI profit boardroom. Inside, we put together step-by-step road maps that walk you through new AI tools like this one, so you're never figuring it out alone. and we run four live coaching [3:19] calls every single week where you can bring whatever you're stuck on and get unstuck on the exact thing you're working on. So when a tool like this drops, you know how to use it fast. Link in the description or go to a profitboardroom.com. Okay, back to it. Now, I know what some of you are thinking. That sounds like a lot of access to hand over. And you're right to think about it. Here's the good news. You are in full control of every [3:39] bit of this. The way it works is simple. Each app has its own allow button. Nothing turns on by itself. Nothing gets touched until you tap allow for that specific app. So, if you are happy letting it handle your reminders, but you don't want it anywhere near your messages, you can do exactly that. You pick and choose one app at a time. And if you change your mind later, you can pull back any permission through your phone settings. So, it's never all or nothing. It's your call every single step. Now, remember that one thing I [4:06] said it still can't do. Here it is. Right now, it does not work with iMessage. So, those texts are off limits for the moment. It handles messages, just not that part yet. And there's no word yet on this coming to Mac either. For now, this is a phone thing. iPhone and Android only. So, how do you [4:22] actually get this working? It's quick. First, update your Grockbot app to the latest version. If you skip that, you won't even see the new stuff. Then, when you ask it to do something with one of these apps, it pops up and asks for permission. You just choose which app to connect and tap allow. That's really it. And like I said, you can always go back and review or remove those permissions in your settings whenever you want. Now, here's the part most people are going to miss. This isn't a one-off. This is part of a much bigger push that's been moving really fast. Just the day before this [4:50] dropped, Grockbot was shown handling direct messages on X and even working as the default assistant on Android phones. And it's been showing up in Tesla cars, too, handling multi-step tasks for you. So, what you're watching is an AI assistant quietly spreading into more and more of the things you use. And it's going head-to-head with the big names. Apple is building out Siri. Google is [5:10] wiring Gemini deeper into Android. Everyone is racing to own the assistant on your phone. Grockbot just made a big move in that race. And here's something worth sitting with for a second. For years, the assistant on your phone could really only handle the basics. Set a timer, play a song, maybe check the weather. But the moment you asked for anything a little more involved, it kind of gave up and told you to go look it up yourself. This is a different kind of tool. It's built to take what you say, work out the steps, and carry them out across your apps without you standing over it the whole time. And that changes [5:40] how you talk to your phone. Instead of tapping through menu after menu, you just say what you want in plain words. See my day, remind me later. Add this person. It handles the rest. For a lot of people, that's going to feel a bit strange at first. And then really fast, it's going to feel completely normal. That's usually how these things go. The stuff that feels futuristic today is the stuff everyone's using without a second thought a few months from now. So the sooner you start getting a feel for how it listens and how it responds, the smoother that shift is going to be for you when it's everywhere. My honest [6:10] take, this is genuinely useful, but go in with your eyes open. Start small. Turn on one app, something low stakes like reminders or calendar, and get a feel for how it behaves before you hand over anything bigger. Learn the tool before you fully trust it with everything. That's always a smart way in with anything new like this because the people who get good at these tools early while they're still fresh are the ones who barely blink when the next big update lands. And trust me, the next one is never far away. And speaking of staying ahead, here's the thing. Right now, there's a window. Most people [6:41] haven't figured this stuff out yet, but that window won't stay open forever. The sooner you start learning these tools, the further ahead of the curve you get.
