Grok Bot Purchase Approval: Your Family's Spending Rules
Grok Bot shows a purchase card to Allow or Deny, and xAI says you write the Bot's rules in plain language.
What xAI says
The official changelog says a purchase card shows the amount for you to Allow or Deny. The Grok Bot 101 guide adds that you write the Bot's rules in natural language and a separate review agent checks proposed actions and can block or escalate to you.
Why it matters for families
"Nothing over $50 without asking" or "never buy from new sites" are household rules; now they can be Bot rules too.
Good to know
The guide is candid: you are trusting the model to follow what you wrote, so keep approvals on for money.
