Grok Bot update: 3x faster computer tasks, X Chat access, new connectors and plugin marketplace
XFreeze · x · 2026-10-17
X announced a major Grok Bot update: computer tasks complete 3x faster on average with replies arriving in less than half the time. The refresh brings a new typeface, themes, and cleaner chat cards. Voice calls are faster, more reliable, and now remember past conversations. Grok Bot can read X Chat messages once connected, and tagging @bot in a post puts it to work. Email now supports plus aliases with routines tied to specific aliases; notifications go only to the active device. New connectors include Robinhood, Coinbase, Trello, PostHog, beehiiv, and eToro, and teams can now submit their own connectors or MCP servers to the Grok Bot marketplace.
