Grok Bot Gets Multi-Model Routing, Email, and Native X Search

The gist

The bot is gaining capabilities that let it take actions on external services, including email outreach, service signups, and multi-model task execution, reducing the number of steps a user must take directly. Direct posting to X remains a gap.

The full picture

Grok Bot on X has added several agentic capabilities. Elon Musk said SpaceX will route Grok bot tasks dynamically to whichever AI model is best suited for a given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, and Suno, with the stated criterion being "whatever is most likely to give you the best outcome". Separately, Grok Bot can now search X natively and process posts in bulk, supporting post search, timeline reading, mention checks, and activity monitoring. The bot can draft posts but direct publishing has not launched, so a human must still press the button to post. Grok Bot can also be assigned its own email address, which users set up by asking the bot directly or tagging @bot in replies; with that address the bot can sign up for services, contact businesses, and schedule time with people on the user's behalf.
