If you skipped the 1Password part, set it up. Your bot asks for exactly the login it needs and you approve each one in 1Password, so passwords never end up in the chat.

Just got Grok Bot 0.77.0, so here's a small tip that's easy to miss: you can set auto-review rules right in the chat.
If you approve the same harmless step every day, just tell your bot once. It suggests the rule as a card, you confirm, and it stops asking.

Bots joining meetings and making calls out of the box, please
What are most important things to improve about Grok @Bot?
Btw, make sure you’ve tried Bot recently, as over 100 features & fixes are released every week!
Higher limits please! :)
Sunday @bot feedback thread.
Whats the most annoying thing about grok bot right now? Be honest and brutal.
Really curious how this turns out
I am transitioning away from using CLI agents for development. On my last project I transitioned to using grokbots.
Bots handing work to each other in Slack is so fun
wait that’s my bot
Asking the bot to set up the new feature is the best part
I love how for every new @bot feature announcement people go and tag to set it up 🚀
Made a Grok Bot page that keeps my exam prep up to date by itself!
Digging through my notes to see what's left was a pain. So I asked for a page with my exam dates and topics and told it to update every morning. Now I check that one screen before studying.

You can copy my exam bot! (5/5)
It sets itself up for your exam. Open the link, tap Add to Grok Bot, tell it your exam and upload your stuff. It plans, quizzes and reminds you until exam day.
It asks for what it needs, no setup on your side!

Just set this up and it actually works! Saying "Hey Grok" and having my bot answer right away feels so good 👍
My bot collects my monthly invoices for me!
Clicking through every dashboard each month for the PDFs was so annoying. So I told Grok Bot where to find them. It signs in, grabs the login code from my email and puts them all in one email draft.
Now I just check it and hit send!

I kept adding routines to my Grok Bot and lost track of which ones actually do anything.
So now a routine checks all of them: runs that came back empty, schedules that fire way too often. It suggests changes and I decide.
Super helpful once you have a lot running.

This is insane! Dessa listens while it talks and handles pauses and interruptions like a real person. Hard to believe it's not human.
Can't wait to talk to my Grok Bot like this someday :)
Meet Dessa, our speech model trained from scratch on human conversation.
Hear it for yourself:
Love that Grok Bot can forward an email exactly as it came in, attachments and formatting included!
That one got a bit buried under Vault in 0.75.5. Also in there: fewer confirmation cards for things you asked for yourself.
Super handy for invoices and booking confirmations.

This is a big one! No more typing the same login and address over and over. Add it once and done 👍
Grok Bot can now save your logins, cards, and contact information.
Add them once, and Bot securely remembers them for the future.

@parker__conrad No Action Button? Back Tap works too:
1. Shortcuts > + > Grok Bot > Start Voice Chat
2. Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap > Double Tap > pick that shortcut
Double tap the back of your iPhone and you're talking to your bot.
