The official announcement Introducing Grok Bot 1.0 was published on 2 November 2026. It describes 1.0 as a major update after the beta, and says Grok Bot 1.0 is available from that date: you can create a Bot for yourself, share it with your team, or bring it into Slack, Microsoft Teams and your video calls.
The official changelog at x.ai/changelog/bot now lists version 1.0.1, dated 11 November 2026, under the heading "Meetings, Microsoft Teams, and shared connectors". That entry also includes 1.0.0. As at 12 November 2026 (Melbourne time), the Homebrew cask for the Mac app shows 1.0.1 (generated date 11 November 2026).
Updates 06 covered the official notes up to version 0.79.3 on 6 November. This post covers what has been published since, plus the 1.0 announcement.
This post is based only on those official notes. We have not tested these features ourselves. Grok Bot features often roll out gradually, so what you see may differ by plan, account and app version. Treat this as a guide to what is being announced, not a promise of what is on your screen today.
What 1.0 changes
The announcement groups the work since beta into three improvements:
- Multiplayer teammates. You can share Bots and bring them into Slack, Microsoft Teams and video calls. Bots learn from everyone they work with and keep improving their understanding of the team's knowledge and preferences.
- Proactive teammates. Bots can recognise work that needs to be done and offer to take it on. They can follow up on unfinished tasks, anticipate what a team needs next, and bring people in when a decision requires their judgement.
- More capable teammates. Bots are faster and more reliable at using the browser and completing complex work, including writing documents and building presentations. The announcement also says they have been made more efficient, reducing the resources required to complete tasks.
In the announcement's words, Grok Bot began as a way to hand off work to an AI teammate. With 1.0, those teammates "understand the work your team is doing and the people doing it, so they can contribute like any other colleague."
Plan limits are set out clearly. Team Bots are available on Team and Enterprise plans. Meetings are available on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans. Enterprise admins can turn on Meetings in settings.
Team Bots alongside your team
With Team Bots, everyone on a team can work with the same AI teammate. Sharing is more flexible than before: you can share a Team Bot with specific people or groups, and work with it in Slack or Microsoft Teams.
In conversations, Bots can follow discussions involving several people, understand who is involved, and contribute relevant information or offer to pick up work. They can also join video calls and take part through the chat, bringing information from earlier conversations into the discussion, keeping track of decisions and learning more about the team's work.
The 11 November changelog is more specific about meetings and Microsoft Teams:
- On Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans, a Bot can join a Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams call from a link, answer in the meeting chat, and send a summary afterwards.
- Team Bots can join Microsoft Teams: a team admin turns it on, an owner or Manager connects the Bot, and a Teams admin approves it.
Bots that pitch in
The announcement says Grok Bot can spot work before anyone asks. It can monitor ongoing projects, recognise when something needs attention, and suggest next steps based on what it knows about the team's goals, processes and priorities. It can also follow up on unfinished work, coordinate with other Bots, and bring people in when a decision requires their judgement.
That is the part of 1.0 that changes how you design an AI workforce. A bot you only hand work to is a tool. A bot that sits with the team, offers to take things on, and can loop a person in when a judgement call is needed, has to be given a clear role: what it is allowed to notice, what it may offer to do, and when a human still has to decide.
Learning, reviews and shared access
As people work with a Team Bot, it builds an understanding of how the team operates. The announcement says it learns individual preferences, remembers decisions, and draws on the expertise of different team members. When someone teaches a Bot a better way to complete a task, that improvement can benefit everyone who uses it. Bots can also suggest changes to how they work based on what they learn from the team.
The official notes also add safeguards for shared spaces. Bots respect each person's permissions, ask before taking sensitive actions, and check whether information is appropriate to share in a public channel.
The 11 November changelog adds the controls that make that workable in practice:
- What teammates teach a Team Bot waits under Review learnings until the owner or a Manager approves it.
- Owners and Managers can share their own app login as a shared connector, once a team admin turns on Allow Shared Logins.
- Team admins can limit who shares Bots with Bot sharing.
- New Bot settings and analytics (from the announcement): manage what a Team Bot knows and see how your team uses it.
Those review and permission steps are part of the design, not extras. If a team is going to let a bot learn from everyone and offer work, someone has to approve what it learns and who can share it.
Smarter, faster and more capable
Beyond the team changes, the announcement lists the biggest changes since beta:
- Better browser use. Bots navigate websites more reliably, handle sign-ins more smoothly, and complete tasks with fewer interruptions.
- Stronger writing and presentations. Bots produce better documents and slide decks, and can now create interactive Pages that you can edit together or ask them to keep updated.
- More ways to work across apps. Bots have improved connections to tools such as Gmail, Google Calendar and GitHub, allowing them to complete more work directly.
- Smarter approvals. Bots better understand when you have already authorised an action and when they need to ask, reducing unnecessary interruptions while protecting sensitive information.
Smaller changes in 1.0.1
The 11 November changelog also includes a few items worth knowing about for everyday use:
- A Bot's Voice menu has a Speed slider from 0.5x to 2x and a card for each voice, and a call's settings show the same controls.
- An expired order card offers Check price again, which asks the Bot for a fresh order card.
- On a turn with nothing to report, the Bot no longer sends a message that only says it is done.
- Files up to 250 MB on the Bot's computer no longer make a reply fail.
- Teammates' comments on a Team Bot's Pages reach the Bot.
In Updates 05 we passed on community reports about per-bot voice controls. The official 1.0.1 notes now list a Voice menu with a speed slider and a card for each voice. They do not say that voice is changed from a bot's details page, so we are not treating that specific location as confirmed.
How to get started
- Update the app (Homebrew users: `brew upgrade --cask grok-bot`) and check that you are on 1.0.1.
- If you are on a Team or Enterprise plan, look at how Team Bots are shared, and whether Slack or Microsoft Teams should be connected. Microsoft Teams needs a team admin, an owner or Manager, and a Teams admin to approve it.
- Meetings are available on Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans. Enterprise admins turn Meetings on in settings.
- If teammates will teach a Team Bot, use Review learnings so an owner or Manager approves what it keeps. Don't turn on shared connectors until a team admin has allowed shared logins and you are comfortable with that access.
- Don't expect every item to be live on your account yet. If something is missing, check again after the next update.
Where SI1 fits
At Super Intelligence One, we help business owners and everyday users put AI to practical use, without the hype. Grok Bot 1.0 is a shift from handing work to a private assistant toward shared teammates that can offer to take work on. That only holds if you design the workforce around it: who can share a bot, what it is allowed to learn, who approves those learnings, and when a person still has to decide. If you want help setting that up, get in touch.
