Grok Bot Gets Its Own Email Address, Becoming a Task-Executing Agent

Elon Musk reposted an official Grok Bot update announcing that the agent now has its own dedicated email address, seen as a key step for Grok evolving from a chat tool into an "agent that can get things done autonomously."

Confirmed

Grok Bot received a dedicated email address; the official capabilities listed are threefold: using email to sign up for various services on the user's behalf, contacting businesses for users, and coordinating meeting times with others.
On October 10, Musk reposted a user's request for the Grok bot to help set up an email inbox, announcing that @Bot can now complete the registration process autonomously—publicly demonstrating multi-step autonomous web operation.
Blogger @aiforsuccess had earlier (October 8) tested it: with just one click, Grok Bot can claim an email address, and he connected his Hermes Agent with Grok Bot for cross-channel email communication—the two agents can hand off tasks and divide work via email.

Why it matters

A standalone email gives an AI agent the identity foundation to complete real tasks across websites, no longer confined to answering within a chat window.
The multi-agent email collaboration demo shows an early form of an "internet of agents" division of labor: agents from different systems can write to each other and assign work like human colleagues. Netizens joked it can genuinely reply to those "let's find a time to meet" emails—AI agents' real-world communication ability is starting to land.
