Why it matters
If the feature works as described, users could hand routine calls and requests to Grok Bot, and businesses may start receiving calls from AI agents. The test-build references to X Money checkout and restaurant bookings suggest the scope could grow, but none of these have been officially announced. Watch for an official launch, rollout details and how approvals for calls and payments are handled.
