    Grok Bot 1.0: New Features for Teams, Meetings and Slack
    Share:

    xAI has taken Grok Bot out of beta. Grok Bot 1.0 turns a Bot from a personal assistant into an AI teammate your whole team can share. You can talk to it in Slack, Microsoft Teams and video calls, and it offers to take on work without being asked. Here is what is new, who gets it, and how 88 Labs AI recommends putting it to work in your business.


    Sources: xAI's Grok Bot 1.0 announcement and the Grok Bot changelog.


    What is Grok Bot 1.0?


    xAI announced Grok Bot 1.0 on November 2, 2026, calling it a major update to its AI teammates. The app itself reached version 1.0 (shipped as 1.0.1) on November 11, 2026. xAI groups the changes into three big improvements:


  1. Multiplayer teammates: share Bots and bring them into Slack, Microsoft Teams and video calls.
  2. Proactive teammates: Bots spot work that needs doing and offer to take it on.
  3. More capable teammates: faster, more reliable browser use and better documents and presentations, using fewer resources per task.

    4. Grok Bot 1.0 new features at a glance


    Team Bots: one AI teammate for the whole team


    With Team Bots, everyone on a team works with the same Bot. As it works with different people, it learns the team's work and how each person contributes. In 1.0 you can share a Team Bot with specific people or groups instead of only the whole team.


    Review learnings: you approve what the Bot learns


    What teammates teach a Team Bot now waits under Review learnings until the owner or a Manager approves it. This keeps one person's bad habit from becoming the Bot's default for everyone.


    Grok Bot in Slack and Microsoft Teams


    Team Bots already worked in Slack. Version 1.0 adds Microsoft Teams: a team admin turns it on, an owner or Manager connects the Bot, and a Teams admin approves it. In group conversations, Bots follow who is involved and can add relevant information or offer to pick up a task.


    Grok Bot joins Google Meet, Zoom and Teams calls


    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 afterward. It can bring in information from earlier conversations and keep track of decisions.


    Proactive work


    Bots can recognize work that needs doing and offer to take it on. They follow up on unfinished tasks, anticipate what the team needs next, and bring people in when a decision needs human judgment. xAI says Bots respect each person's permissions, ask before sensitive actions, and check whether information is appropriate to share in a public channel.


    Shared connectors and sharing controls


  4. Shared connectors: once a team admin turns on Allow Shared Logins, owners and Managers can share their own app login with the Bot, app by app.
  5. Bot sharing limits: team admins can control who is allowed to share Bots.
  6. Admin-disabled connectors: when an admin turns off a connector, its button says "Disabled by team admin."

    7. Smaller upgrades worth knowing


  7. A Voice menu with a speed slider from 0.5x to 2x and a card for each voice.
  8. Wide tables in replies expand into the space beside the message.
  9. Teammates' comments on a Team Bot's Pages now reach the Bot.
  10. Expired order cards offer "Check price again" for a fresh quote.

    11. Which Grok Bot plans get the new features?


    Based on xAI's documentation and changelog:


  11. Team Bots: Team and Enterprise plans.
  12. Meetings (Meet, Zoom, Teams calls): Team, Enterprise and Ultra plans.

    13. xAI's announcement does not list new prices, so check xAI's Grok Bot page for current plan pricing before you buy.


    How businesses can use Grok Bot 1.0: 88 Labs AI ideas


    Here is how we would put the new features to work for a small or mid-sized team:


    1. Meeting follow-through: invite a Team Bot to weekly client or sales calls. Have it post the summary, owners and due dates in Slack or Teams right after.

    2. One shared operations Bot: give ops, sales and support the same Bot so it learns how hand-offs really work. Use Review learnings to approve only the processes you want repeated.

    3. Proactive deadline chasing: let the Bot nudge people about unfinished tasks instead of a manager doing it by hand.

    4. Sales prep: before a call, have the Bot pull past conversations and draft a one-page brief and a short slide deck.

    5. Customer feedback loop: during a launch, let one Bot collect customer reactions and another update campaign copy once the team approves the direction. xAI gives this kind of Research Bot and Copy Bot hand-off as an example.


    Grok Bot 1.0 pros and cons


    Pros


  13. Works where your team already talks: Slack, Microsoft Teams and video calls.
  14. Learns the team's way of working, with a human approval step.
  15. Takes initiative instead of waiting for a prompt.
  16. Admin controls for sharing, logins and connectors.

    17. Cons


  17. Team features and meetings need Team, Enterprise or Ultra plans.
  18. In meetings, the Bot takes part through the chat, so set expectations with attendees.
  19. Shared logins and proactive actions need clear rules about who approves what.
  20. Some updates roll out gradually, so your app may not show 1.0 right away.

    21. The 88 Labs AI take


    Grok Bot was already the easiest AI agent to set up for business. With 1.0, it becomes something your whole team uses, not just one power user. The new features are strongest when you set them up on purpose: decide which Bot owns which job, who approves its learnings, and which logins it can use. Getting that right on day one saves weeks of cleanup later.
