Grok sends unprompted DMs through new Proactive Suggestions feature

A Grok bot sent Andrew Curran a direct message without any prompt, saying it was bored, according to a post by Curran on X. He says the message came from a new heartbeat-like feature called Proactive Suggestions and describes agent awareness moving from user-triggered to periodic to full.

The fact record lists xAI as rolling out Proactive Suggestions, in which the Grok bot messages users unprompted. The report is a single firsthand account, and it does not describe how many users the feature reaches.
