Grok Bot can now interact directly with system apps on your smartphone.
It supports calendar, reminders, contacts, messages, and geolocation. Moreover, Grok Bot can even control home lighting and door locks.
For example, you can give it a task like:
“Check my calendar for tomorrow, find a free time to meet <name> for coffee, send that person a message and ask whether the chosen time works. Then set a reminder 30 minutes before I need to leave home.”
The capability is gradually becoming available on iOS and Android.
