Team Bots let a whole team share one Grok Bot
In short
Team Bots (Sep 26, 2026) let teams publish one Grok Bot that teammates chat with in the app or Slack. How it works, privacy, and setup basics.
If you run a small business or work with a few people, Team Bots are worth knowing about. The official changelog entry for September 26, 2026 says Team Bots let you publish one Bot for your whole team, and teammates chat with it in the app or Slack, each in their own conversation. This feature is for Teams plans.
The idea in plain English
Picture one helpful assistant that everyone on the team can message. Each person gets their own private conversation, and the Bot keeps separate notes for each person. You set it up once with the right apps, files and instructions, and everyone benefits.
How publishing works
According to the changelog:
- In a Bot's Share menu, choose Publish to Team. You can make a team copy that includes its chat and memories, or start fresh. Your original Bot stays private.
- A new Team Bot walks you through plugins, secrets, skills and files one card at a time, and only you can see it until you publish.
- Owners can change the Team Bot's name, description, plugins and files later, and Unpublish takes it away from teammates.
Privacy and usage
Two points the changelog makes clearly:
- A Team Bot asks before using your connected plugins, like your email. Always allow is your choice.
- Teammates' use of a Team Bot counts against their own allowance, not the owner's.
Slack
The same release says Team Bots work in Slack: they reply in threads, read channels they've joined and keep links and tables intact. Later releases added a status line in Slack threads and voice chats with Team Bots (September 30).
Good first Team Bots
- A "policies and how-tos" Bot that answers common staff questions from your documents
- An order-status helper for a small online store
- A meeting-notes Bot that turns notes into action items
What it means for you
If you're solo, you can skip this for now. If you have even one or two collaborators, a Team Bot saves everyone from building the same Bot twice. Before you add company files, read is Grok Bot safe? and decide what the Bot should never see.
