Artificial Intelligence

Elon Musk says Grok Bot can now pick up the phone for you. In a post on X on Sunday, October 25, at 7:35 AM Pacific, Musk wrote that the Bot can call a person or a business on your behalf, make a request, take notes on the response, and then send you a summary of the conversation.

Grok, the AI assistant built into X, now has an official route into large companies. SpaceX Super Intelligence, the SpaceX AI division formerly known as xAI, launched the SpaceX Super Intelligence Partner Network on Thursday, October 22, 2026, describing it as its official program for companies building products, solutions, and services with Grok.

Making short video for X just got much cheaper for anyone willing to work through an API. xAI has added a Lite tier to its Grok Imagine video models, and the headline number is hard to miss: two cents for every second of finished video at the lowest resolution. For creators who test several versions of a clip before posting one, that pricing changes the math of experimenting.

Grok Bot can now reach into the built-in apps on a phone. The official Grok Bot account announced on October 22 that the assistant can use Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and more apps, and said the feature is rolling out now on iOS and Android. It arrives just days after Grok Bot picked up support for the iPhone Action Button, and less than a week after a major update that brought X Chat support.

Grok Bot's answers are turning into documents that stay alive. On Wednesday, October 21, the official @bot account announced on X that Grok Bot can now build reports, memos and dashboards. "Ask Bot for a page, then edit it together or have Bot keep it up to date," the post said. It arrived with a 27-second video showing the feature in action.

Community Notes was built on a simple promise: instead of X deciding what counts as misinformation, its users would. A new preprint from a group of X engineers, analyzed this month by Indicator, shows how far that promise has drifted. The notes readers see most often are now written largely by X itself, through an open-source AI notewriter called the Community Writer, which the engineers describe as the program's largest AI API client.

Grok Bot took a clear step from watching X on your behalf to talking on it for you on Tuesday, October 20. In a five-minute "What's new in Grok Bot" video posted on X that morning, Matt Palmer, who works on Cursor and Grok Bot at SpaceXSI, walked through 12 changes, led by three that put the Bot directly inside X conversations and on Android phones.

The posts that hold your attention the longest are about to get a bigger push on X. On Tuesday, October 20, Elon Musk announced two updates to the platform's timeline recommendation system: a new AI ranking model built to predict more accurately how long users will spend on a post, and a new retrieval model trained to surface posts that people read all the way through.

The fastest way to talk to Grok Bot just got a little faster. On October 19, Grok Bot's official account on X announced that the service can now be set as an iPhone's Action Button, so a single press starts a voice chat with a user's Bot. "Grok Bot is now one step closer. Set it as your iPhone's Action Button and press it to talk with Bot," the post reads, alongside a short demo video.

Grok Bot, the AI agent from SpaceXAI that carries out tasks on its own cloud computer, received a broad speed and polish update on Friday, October 16. The headline change is pace: the company says computer tasks now finish three times sooner on average, and replies to everything else arrive in less than half the time. Elon Musk summed up the release in a short post on X: "Grok @Bot got much faster."
