Grok Bot now takes tasks when you tag @bot on X

Grok Bot can now take work straight from X. Tag @bot in a post or reply, like this request for a thread summary in Slack, and your main Bot starts on its cloud computer.

The public part stays small. @bot replies with one line confirming your Bot has the request. The work itself and its results stay in that Bot's conversation in the Grok Bot app.

So the Bot has the context of the conversation. It receives your post, the post you replied to, and any post either of them quotes, still photos included.

Your Bot starts as soon as the tag arrives. The first time a request goes through, X sends you a notification that tagged requests start work automatically and use your Grok Bot usage.

Connect your X account on grok.com, under Settings, then Account. That account also needs Grok Bot access and a Bot of your own. Shared Bots can't take tagged requests.

Slide text

Tagging needs your X account connected to your Grok account

Before you start

grok.com Settings → Account → Connect 𝕏 Account

Access Grok Bot on that same Grok account

A Bot One of your own. Shared Bots can’t take tags.

Where you are right now doesn't matter. A VPN changes nothing either. If X lists only a broad region for your account, like South Asia, or no country at all, tagging isn't available yet.

When @bot stays quiet, the request didn't reach your Bot. Common causes are a video or GIF in the posts, also tagging @grok, a thread you didn't tag yourself, moderation, or running out of weekly usage.

A Bot's replies in a group chat can now carry files, questions and forms. Approvals, login requests and drafts stay out of groups, and handoffs between Bots there are text only.

The desktop app's network settings can route a Bot's web traffic through your computer. It uses that device's IP address, and stops when you turn it off or an Enterprise admin disables local egress.
