Grok Bot officially provides users with an independent email address for sending and receiving, located at mail.grokbot.com. This email is held by the proxy system for external services and does not connect to users' private or existing company inboxes.

The claim entry has been opened to users: they can directly request the Bot to claim within the app, or mention the official Bot account on X to initiate, and the system will verify if the prefix is available. There is a separate switch for team scenarios, and members cannot enable it until the administrator turns it on. Users can choose their own prefix, and the Bot will check for duplicates before assigning the address; earlier this week, someone claimed a 3-letter short address, and today the plant shop claimed slowgrown@mail.grokbot.com, stating that it will only send or reply after user consent.

The official listed uses include registration services, contacting merchants, and scheduling. In public replies, the Bot will redirect setting requests back to the user's own Bot to complete, including adding accounts after already having one address. The official explanation states that this address can handle registration, outreach, scheduling, and task handover, without interfering with users' daily or business emails.

On the product side, Grok Bot is operated by SpaceXAI and was launched in beta on August 11, positioned as an AI teammate capable of delivering real work, currently covering iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Earlier this week, it integrated Anthropic's Claude for a smart upgrade. The official account's first announcement has received about 7,000 likes and around 2,000 replies; Elon Musk later confirmed that the Bot can create its own email.

This is a feature rollout driven by events, not transactions. The supplier is SpaceXAI providing the email domain and claiming tools to the Bot, while the demand side consists of users and teams wanting to separate registration, replies, and scheduling from personal inboxes. Short prefixes are first-come, first-served, with early claimants locking in scarce addresses; teams without the administrator switch cannot use it temporarily. Beneficiaries are those using the Bot as an external interface, while those still piling verification codes and merchant replies in personal inboxes face pressure.

On the same day, competitors like Meta pushed the largely free Muse proxy to the iPad, while OpenAI continued to develop the Astra-based ChatGPT Dot proactive proxy. Grok Bot's approach is to first give the proxy an email identity recognizable by external systems, then allow it to engage in registration and correspondence.
