Grok Bot Launch
xAI released Grok Bot, an "AI teammate" product that can sign in to your tools (e.g., Zendesk) and operate apps and websites like a human, returning with finished work.
Key capabilities
- Task-based collaboration: assign work like delegating to a colleague; bots return only when approval is needed
- Parallel bots: spin up multiple bots for different projects (sales outbound, recruiting, expenses, bug reproduction); bots pass work to each other in shared threads
- Learn by demonstration: show a bot a workflow once and it saves it as a routine to run autonomously
- Persistent memory: bots keep context and improve over time (e.g., remembering a client only signs annual deals and who approves)
- Available now for macOS, with an enterprise sales track
The Gossip
A repost citing @valuetainment claims Elon Musk spent a reported $20 million on a domain to troll Sam Altman after OpenAI launched Dots — unverified.
