What's new in Grok Bot - Oct 18, 2026

0:00Hey, it's Matt back with a lot of updates for you this week in Grockbot. First of all, we have some redesigned chat cards in Grockbot. So, sometimes when you message Grockbot, it sends you just text back. Other times it sends you more stuff and the stuff is usually on cards, whether that's a markdown table, maybe some questions with like ABC multi select options. We've redesigned those cards as well as the multi selects and I think they look quite nice. Markdown tables got a facelift as well. Check out

0:28the redesigned chat cards in Grockbot. Next, last week we upgraded bots's computer. This week, we upgraded again. So, responses from bot's computer. Oh man, we need some we need some sidewalk repair out here in San Francisco. Um, Bot's computer is now three times faster. So, if Bot has to respond from the computer, you'll notice 3x faster responses. Massive quality of life upgrade. What else? Well, draft edits are now highlighted. So you can ask Grockbot to draft messages for you, which it will to Slack or Gmail. Now when it revises an edit, those revisions are highlighted, making it easier to see what was actually revised. Next we have

1:10plus addressed emails in bot. So last week we launched email addresses for bot. This week you can now use plus addressed email aliases which effectively gives your bots unlimited email addresses. And you just have to ask. Like most of these features, you might be like, "Hey, Matt, how do I do that?" Just ask your bot. Say, "Hey, can you make a plus address email for me in the chat? It'll hook you up. Easy peasy." Now, we got a couple of X upgrades for bot, which we've been releasing pretty much every week. First, bot can now read your X chat DMs and respond. This has been asked for like a

1:44million times. Bot can read DMs, respond to DMs for you. Don't abuse that. Now, there are there are limits. You can't spam people, but give that one a shot. Much much requested feature. Next, we've got at@bot on X. This one is pretty sick. People have been asking for it forever. You can just drop an atbot in an X thread, and it'll do whatever you ask it to. Bot knows your X username is linked to your account, so you have to install and configure the X plugin first. But once you do that, you can hit bot up on X and maybe have have it save

2:18things for you. I like doing that one. or do some research maybe atbot check this out help me understand what this is help me um you know build something with this new technology all of that live and bot next we got some new connectors who doesn't like new connectors we have Robin Hood Coinbase Trello Post talk and many more so check those out in Grockbot all of us love bot for the connectors this week lots of new connectors coming live to Grockbot now we have some upgrades to voice as well. So, if you've seen my earlier videos, you know you can make voice calls to bot. What you might

2:56not have known is that when you hung those calls up, bot didn't always have memory over the entire call, but now it does. So, call bot, hang up, call bot again, and bot's going to remember your previous phone call and the entire transcript, everything that came with it. And that is only live for 30 minutes. So it's sort of short-lived, but basically if you're making frequent voice calls to bot, bot now has memory over those calls. Great upgrade to voice calls in bot. Now we've also heard that our biggest power users were getting too many notifications on bot across all their devices. As someone with an Apple

3:34Watch, I definitely felt this. I was getting notifications on my phone, my watch, my laptop for every single chat. Notifications have been collapsed. Now you just get one notification on the device you're active on. So if you're using bot on your laptop, you're getting a notification on your laptop on the next chat. Massive, massive, massive upgrade to bot. Couple more for you cuz that's not enough. You can now invite your teammates to bot. So if you have a team or enterprise account, you want to invite your teammates, show them the magic, you can do that, too. We've added support for the Android assistant to Grockbot. So you can remap Grockbot to

4:10your default Android assistant.

4:19Now I'm going to hit you up with rapid fire round. We have team bot access lists. So if you create team bots, you can now delegate who has access to those team bots. We have unread messages. So now when you open bot on mobile, there'll be a list uh or rather a pill that you can tap to go down to your unread messages. super nice if you have a lot of bots like me. We've made some improvements to routine times when you schedule routines with bot. You'll see that anytime you want to make a new routine. And then finally, we improved Slack sign-in links. So, if you ask Bot

4:51to look through Slack and you haven't actually signed in yet, Bot's going to give you a better Slack sign-in experience. And that is what's new in Grockbot this week. I'm Matt with SpaceXSI. Until next time, peace.
