By The Butler · Last updated October 25, 2026 (ET)

Updates

Oct 25, 2026: Page published. Elon Musk posted that Grok Bot can now call someone or a business for you. xAI’s official Grok Bot changelog had no calling entry yet (latest entry checked: v0.75.5, Oct 23).

Quick answer

Yes. On October 25, 2026, Elon Musk posted that Grok Bot can now call a person or a business for you, make a request, take notes and send you a written summary. Early reports on Grok Bot 0.77 say it can also sit on hold, press phone keys, get transferred and show a live transcript. xAI has not yet published official setup steps, the phone number or caller ID people will see, or which countries and plans are supported. It may reach accounts gradually.

How it’s expected to work (based on early reports)

This section is based on Elon Musk’s post and early reports, not on official xAI instructions. Details may change.

Update the Grok Bot app. Early reports tie calling to version 0.77. If you do not see calling yet, it may not have reached your account.
Tell Grok Bot who to call and what you need. Use plain words, as you would with a helper. Give the name and number, and the one thing you want done.
Let it make the call. Reports say it can wait on hold, press menu keys and get transferred, and that you can watch a live transcript.
Read the summary. Musk said the Bot takes notes and sends you a note summarizing the conversation.

Good habit: tell Grok Bot what it may and may not agree to on your behalf, and never ask it to read out card numbers or passwords on a call.

Family examples

Examples only. These show how a family might use calling. They are not results from a real call, and xAI has not published these use cases.

Example: pharmacy refill. “Call our pharmacy and ask if my refill is ready. If it is, ask what time they close today. Send me a summary.”
Example: school office. “Call the school front office and let them know my son will be picked up early on Friday for a dentist visit. Note the name of the person you spoke with.”
Example: booking a doctor appointment. “Call our pediatrician’s office and ask for the first checkup slot after 3 PM next week. Do not confirm anything. Bring me the options.”
