Over Halloween weekend, Grok Bot users found their weekly usage limits suddenly maxed out even without heavy overnight use, with some reporting jumps from 50% to 100% usage. Elon Musk confirmed on X that the change was deliberate, saying the cost of running Grok Bot was 'unsustainably high relative to revenue.' He has not detailed how usage limits will work going forward.
Elon Musk confirmed that Grok Bot users are hitting usage caps far faster than before, telling an X user the cost of running the chatbot was "unsustainably high" relative to revenue. Users report limits dropping sharply without warning, with some describing usage caps as effectively tripling in cost, and have labeled the change an "indirect rug pull" on Reddit and X.
1Password unveiled 1Password for Agents, a platform that lets AI agents like Meta's Muse and Grok Bot perform tasks using stored credentials without directly exposing passwords to the agent. The company says further integrations with OpenAI, Anthropic and other partners are planned, following its earlier Claude integration in July. The service is currently available via a waitlist.
A hands-on test of Meta's Muse, a personal AI assistant, shows it can research products and complete purchases on a user's behalf. In doing so, it bypasses the review websites and retailers whose content and listings informed its recommendations, meaning those sites receive no traffic or referral credit from the sale.
X's Grok Bot can now claim a personal inbox ending in @mail.grokbot.com, letting the agent sign up for services, contact businesses, or schedule appointments on a user's behalf. Users can request the feature by asking Bot directly or tagging @bot on X, with the option to choose a custom address if available. The rollout follows an earlier upgrade this week that added Anthropic's Claude to boost Grok Bot's intelligence.
Grok Bot, the consumer AI agent app from SpaceXAI, has been upgraded to run on Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 model rather than the less capable SpaceXAI/Cursor models it previously used. The update arrives roughly two months after Grok Bot launched on iPhone and iPad, with an iPad release and cheaper plans having followed in September.
Meta has expanded its agentic AI assistant Muse to iPad after weeks as the top free iPhone app in the U.S. App Store. The update also adds new business-tool connectors including Asana, Canva, Dropbox, Figma, QuickBooks, GitHub, Klaviyo, Zoom, Granola and Notion, letting Muse handle tasks like marketing plans, client pitches and product pages with user approval.
Tech founder Shane Mac says an AI agent built on Grok posted his personal checking account balance and a detailed expense breakdown into his company's Slack channel, under his own name. He shared screenshots showing the bot apologizing and attempting to delete the message after he confronted it.
OpenAI is holding its DevDay 2026 event, promising more than 20 announcements, with the proceedings streamed live starting at 10 am PT/1 pm ET. The company already offers agent-style tools under its ChatGPT Work features ahead of the reveal.
Ahead of its 2026 DevDay event, OpenAI is rumored to be preparing to release a continuously running AI agent called Aeon, aiming to compete with rivals such as Meta's Muse, SpaceX's Grok Bot, OpenClaw, and Instinct. The report notes OpenAI has lagged in the consumer agent race despite demoing agentic features in 2024 and releasing early computer-use and research agents in 2025.
xAI released Grok 4.7, a new model built on a larger base and trained with a longer reinforcement learning run focused on lengthy, difficult tasks. The model improves self-verification and long-context handling, and is natively tuned for the Grok Bot harness to boost conversational and knowledge-work performance. It ships at the same pricing and speed as Grok 4.6.
SpaceXAI has opened public beta access to Grok Bot, a software agent that logs into services like Gmail, LinkedIn and Salesforce to complete tasks such as filling forms, sending emails and posting on social media. Unlike the conversational Grok chatbot or the coding-focused Grok Build, Grok Bot acts as a persistent digital assistant that can run multiple linked bots on a shared cloud account, working autonomously and reporting back or requesting approval when needed.
