Summary
Grok Bot has picked up a stack of updates that push it toward being a hands-off personal assistant, and this video walks through seven of them in the order a new user would set them up.
The tour starts with the vault, a settings area that stores cards, shipping addresses, and logins so they never need to be typed into a chat. In the US and Canada, Stripe Link and Shop Pay users get a one-time card for each purchase, so the store never sees a real card number. From there the video covers Grok’s own email address, which lets it contact businesses, such as photographers asking for quotes, and collect replies away from a personal inbox. Each draft is shown for approval before it goes out. Only one address is allowed per account, so the name is permanent.
The presenter then shops for a coffee-themed gift under $50, with results shown as product cards and a confirmation step before checkout. Further updates include phone calls to restaurants and businesses (US only for now), access to phone apps like Calendar, Reminders, and Contacts with per-app toggles, and shareable pages that Grok keeps updated, shown here as a YouTube idea tracker. The video notes the agent runs on models including Claude Opus 5.5.
