Grok Bot 1.0: Team Chatbot With Slack Lock-In

🔥 What happened xAI shipped Grok Bot 1.0, turning personal bots into team-shareable assistants that live in Slack, Microsoft Teams, and video calls (Meet, Zoom). The update also adds "Review learnings" – teammates can teach the bot, but the owner must approve changes first. 💡 Why it matters In Slack channels, the bot runs on xAI's servers and uses only the owner's connected apps – not the asker's. That's a sharp departure from personal chats and a compliance headache for admins tracking whose API keys get burned. ⚡ Our take Grok Bot is growing up, but the billing and permissions model is a minefield. Put a bot in a Slack channel and you'd better know whether the team or the owner foots the bill.
