## Summary

ScottyBeamIO publishes a guide to installing, setting up, and using Grok Bot as the main assistant on iPhone in place of Siri. The guide says Grok Bot requires iOS 18 or later and a Premium plan at $30 a month, since Free and Plus don't include it. It also notes the app must stay open on screen, because the Bot can only reach the iPhone while Grok Bot is running.

Grok Bot has become my main assistant on iPhone. 

I don’t use Siri anymore.

I put together a complete guide to help you do the same: installation, setup, and how to use it.
