Using Grok Bot to take things off your plate
Grok Bot
Everything here works inside Grok Bot. No extra apps. Features checked October 2026 at docs.x.ai/grok-bot.
Grok Bot comes with a paid plan; there's no free version.
Start here
Talk instead of type
On your phone, tap Start dictation in the message box. On a computer, press Cmd+D (Ctrl+D on Windows).
Start a voice chat
With the message box empty, tap Start voice chat to talk it through live.
Paste a photo or attach a file
Drop in the flyer, the form or the schedule and ask what it says.
Give it access only when it asks
Connect Gmail and Google Calendar when your Bot needs them. Emails it writes show up as drafts you approve before they send.
Make one Bot for family logistics
A named Bot keeps its memory and files, so it learns your family's schedule over time.
Hand it a job to repeat
It works on its own cloud computer, keeps going when your laptop is closed, and can rerun a job on a schedule.
