Overview

AISummary of 7 articles

xAI is rolling out Grok Bot to users, who can claim an inbox by asking the bot or tagging @bot on X, according to the Grok Bot account.

Team admins must first enable the feature for their team before members can use it.

The Grok Bot account says the bot now has its own email address, which it can use to sign up for services, contact businesses, or schedule time with someone. Posts from Lauren Tan and Cursor's Eric Zakariasson repeat that description and say users can have the bot set up the address, but they do not independently verify how it works. A user has asked whether the address will get a dedicated interface or be usable only through the bot, and no answer has been reported.

Testing Catalog reports that the bot subscribed its email to a daily AI Brief newsletter without issue, a single observation rather than a verified capability.
