Grok Bot phone calls let a Bot make the call you’ve been putting off, like booking a table or asking where an order is, and then tell you how it went. You approve every call, watch a live transcript and can jump in at any time. Here’s exactly how it works, based on xAI’s docs and changelog.
Key takeaways
- A Bot calls a business for you and reports back.
- US only, from the Grok Bot desktop and phone apps.
- You confirm every call and can take over live.
- Transcript and recording are saved after each call.

What Grok Bot phone calls do
According to the chat and collaboration docs, “a Bot can call a business for you, for example to book a table or ask about an order, and tell you how it went.” Phone calls are available in the US only, from the Grok Bot desktop and phone apps.
Ask in plain words, for example:
Call the Italian place on Main Street and book a table for four
at 7pm Friday. If 7 isn't free, take anything between 6:30 and 8.1. Agree to the calling terms once
The first time, the Bot asks you to accept the calling terms. They include that you’ll only call US businesses and people who’ve consented to hear from you. Choose Accept or Decline.

2. Confirm who it will call
Before every call, the Bot shows who it’s about to call, and you choose Call or Cancel. Nothing is dialled without that tap. Save addresses and phone numbers in the Bot’s Vault rather than in its memory.
3. During the call: transcript, answers and take-over
- A call card shows the status and a live transcript.
- If the other side asks something the Bot can’t answer, a card shows the question and how long you have. Type your answer and choose Send, or choose Skip.
- Choose Take over to join yourself. The card shows Connecting you… and then Transferred to you.
- Choose End call to hang up at any point.
If the Bot wants to give the call more details while it’s live, it asks you first. The 5 November changelog adds a Send this to your call? card that lets you edit the text before it’s used.
4. After the call
The card shows Ended and how long the call took. Open it to read the transcript and play the recording. On desktop, the Call actions menu also has Copy transcript, Export transcript and Download recording.
The 6 November update (v0.79.3) tidied this up: a busy or unreachable number now shows No answer, an interrupted call’s transcript shows only what the other person heard, and unanswered or failed call cards offer Copy conversation ID.

Phone calls vs voice chat
Don’t mix these up. Voice chat is a live spoken conversation between you and your own Bot, on desktop or phone. Phone calls are your Bot ringing a business for you. A Bot can draw on your earlier voice calls and recent chat, and after you hang up you can ask it about the call in the chat (Bots docs).
Use it the right way
The terms limit calls to US businesses and people who’ve agreed to hear from you, so this is not a cold-calling or sales-dialling tool. Use it for bookings, order questions, opening hours and similar jobs. Keep sensitive details in the Vault, and add Ask first rules (approvals docs) for anything that commits money.
My verdict
Start with one booking, watch the transcript and take over once to see how it hands back. For US users who hate admin calls, Grok Bot phone calls are one of the most useful things the Bot can do.
