Grok Bot joins video calls: xAI says heavy optimization keeps usage cost minimal
elonmusk · x · 2026-11-15
- xAI updated Grok Bot so it can be invited into video calls as a participant — the demo screenshot shows it appearing like a third attendee in the meeting UI.
- A user who tested it right after the update reported strong performance, with token/usage consumption as the main prior concern.
- xAI's Lingxi Li responded that the team heavily optimized it, so it burns only a little of your usage, inviting people to try the "e-coworker."
- Elon Musk amplified the post; users expect an even bigger impact once voice conversation is added.
