   SpaceXSI Launches Phone Call Delegation Feature for Grok Bot

   SpaceXSI has launched a phone feature in its AI agent platform Grok Bot, enabling it to wait on hold, make appointments, and negotiate prices on U.S. numbers on users' behalf, with users bearing legal responsibility for each call. If the other party asks a question beyond the bot's capabilities during a call, the user receives a message and types a reply to be relayed, while also being able to view a live transcript; the bot identifies itself as a virtual assistant, and calls are made through a temporary number within the platform. Early examples include negotiating with Comcast and ordering pizza.
