Grok Bot flunks another real-world task: this time it can't accept a meeting invite

Hugging Face engineer NielsRogge continues stress-testing xAI's Grok Bot: after failing to book a Booking.com hotel for him, the agent now failed to accept a meeting invite.
The screenshot shows Grok Bot explaining that the invite was sent from Outlook so it never landed on Google Calendar, and its connectors can't send an RSVP for an invite that only exists as an email; Gmail also blocks its browser from signing into the account. It suggested the user manually tap Yes in Gmail, or add the meeting to the calendar silently.
