  1. Grok Bot now has Team Bots, one Bot your whole team chats with. You share it like a doc, with your team, your organization, or people you invite. It needs a Team or Enterprise plan, and it runs in the cloud.

  2. Each person's chat with a Team Bot is private, even from its owner. When a teammate teaches it something for the whole team, that change waits until the owner or a Manager approves it.

    The owner can't read your chats with a Team Bot

    Your chat Private to you
    Team learnings Wait for the owner or a Manager to approve
    docs.x.ai/grok-bot/team-bots · Can the owner see my chats?
  3. A Team Bot's reply uses the Grok Bot usage of the person it's answering. That holds in your own chat, in Slack, and in group chats, so your own limits apply.

    A Team Bot's reply runs on the usage of whoever asked

    Your own chat Your usage, your limits
    Slack and group chats The person it's answering
    Slack, not on the team The team's usage
    docs.x.ai/grok-bot/team-bots · Whose usage pays?
  4. Apps and secrets the owner adds work in everyone's chat, so add only keys you'd hand the whole team. Before it uses one of your own accounts, the Bot asks, and you can allow once, always allow, or skip.

  5. The owner or a Manager can add a Team Bot to Slack, with its own app and handle. Anyone in the channel can give it work, and it acts for the teammate who mentioned it.

  6. Team Bots now work in Microsoft Teams. A team admin turns it on, the owner connects the Bot, and a Teams admin approves it. Setup can then take up to an hour.

  7. Team admins get new controls on the dashboard. They can limit sharing to admins, put a Bot in members' sidebars, and let Managers share their own app logins, which is off by default.

    Admins decide who can share a Bot

  8. Paste a Google Meet, Zoom or Teams link into a chat, and the Bot joins the call. It takes notes, answers in the meeting chat, and sends a summary afterwards. That needs a Team, Enterprise or Ultra plan.

  9. Your primary Bot, the one with the star, now spots tasks it can handle and offers to do them. When an app like Gmail signs you out, it tells you. It still asks before risky actions.

    Your primary Bot now offers to take work off your plate

    An app signs you out Tells you and offers to reconnect
    It offers first, and asks before risky actions

  10. Enterprise admins can now block up to 50 sites instead of writing an allowlist. Blocking is best effort, so a bare IP address gets through, and search results can still list a blocked page.

  11. If your team keeps a copy each of one Bot template, I'd switch to a single Team Bot, with one set of skills, while each chat still runs on the asker's own usage. The Team Bots page has the full setup.

    If everyone runs a copy of the same Bot, share one instead
