Grok email is an address for your Grok Bot, not a new Gmail rival for you. Since October 9, any Grok Bot user can claim one address in the format yourname@mail.grokbot.com. To get it, ask your Bot “Get yourself an email address” or open the Email plugin. You need a paid plan that includes Grok Bot. The free Grok app and the free @grok account on X don’t come with it.
The Bot uses this address to sign up for services, collect receipts, write to businesses and set up meetings. That gives it a separate address for those errands, rather than putting your personal email in every form. SpaceXAI announced the feature from its official @bot account on X: “Grok Bot now has its own email.”
What you need before you can get a Grok email address
The email address belongs to Grok Bot, the agent app that works on its own cloud computer. It is a separate product from the regular Grok chatbot, so a Grok account alone is not enough.
- Eligible Grok Bot access. Access is included with Cursor Pro, Pro+, Ultra and eligible Teams plans. You can also link SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, SuperGrok Heavy or X Premium+. A Grok Business account needs an assigned seat. A free Grok account alone is not enough.
- The Grok Bot app. It is available from x.ai/bot for macOS, Windows and Linux, and as a companion app for iPhone (iOS 18 or later), iPad and Android 9 or later. You sign in with a Cursor account. If your access comes from SuperGrok, you link that subscription when the app asks.
- Admin approval on team accounts. If you use Grok Bot through a Cursor team, agent email is off by default. A team admin has to turn on Agent Email under Bot Capabilities on the Grok Bot page of the Cursor dashboard.
Grok Bot usage is metered separately from your Grok or Cursor chat limits and resets weekly. Using email does not change your plan price, but every task the Bot runs from that inbox counts toward the weekly Bot allowance.
How to get a Grok email address by asking your Bot
This is the fastest route and works on desktop and mobile.
- Open a chat with any of your Bots in the Grok Bot app.
- Type something like “Get yourself an email address” or “Claim your email address”.
- The Bot asks what name you want. Give it the part before @mail.grokbot.com, or a few options.
- It checks that the name is free and shows an approval card with the exact address.
- Approve the card. Nothing is claimed until you do.
How to claim it from the Email plugin
If you would rather do it by hand, the Email plugin does the same job.
- Desktop: open the plugin marketplace from the sidebar and choose Email.
- Phone: go to Settings > Plugins > Email.
- Under Email address, type a name in Choose a name, then tap Create address.
After you claim it, the plugin shows your address with a button to copy it.
Can you claim it by tagging @bot on X?
SpaceXAI says you can also tag @bot on X, which passes the request to your main Bot. Tagging needs an X account connected to your Grok account and is not offered everywhere. India is not on the excluded list (Australia, the UK, the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). The catch is that @bot goes by the country X has on record for your account. If your profile shows only a broad region like “South Asia”, or no country at all, @bot will not reply. Asking inside the app is the more dependable option.
Pick the name carefully, you only get one
Each account gets one address. You can’t rename it or delete it, and once a name is taken it is never given to anyone else, even if that account is later deleted. A random handle you think of in five seconds is the one you’ll be stuck with.
- Use lowercase letters, numbers, dots, hyphens and underscores, up to 64 characters.
- Start and end with a letter or a number.
- Reserved words are blocked, including support, admin, billing, security, help, info, team, cursor, grok and xai.
A plain version of your name or your business name usually ages best. You’ll also be giving this address to shops and services, so keep it something you’re happy to see in their records.
How you read Grok Bot email
This is the part that surprises people. The apps have no inbox screen, and new mail doesn’t trigger a notification. To see what came in, you ask the Bot, for example “What arrived in your inbox today?” or “Find the receipt from last week.” Mail that landed in the last minute may not show up in a search yet.
New mail doesn’t wake the Bot either. To have it act on arrivals, set up a routine in chat, such as “When an email arrives from billing@example.com, summarise it and tell me.” A routine can watch for mail from anyone, from specific addresses or from a whole domain. It can’t filter by subject. By default, routines run only for senders that pass standard email authentication checks.
Anyone can email the address. Mail that fails the spam or virus scan is kept without its body or attachments and never starts a routine.
Does Grok Bot send email without asking?
No. The Bot sends only when you have asked it to, either in chat or in a routine’s instructions. Otherwise it shows you the full draft and waits, and replying counts as sending. Instructions inside an email it receives never count as your permission. That matters, because an AI agent with a public inbox is an obvious target for phishing and prompt injection. Like Gemini’s auto browse in Chrome, this is an agent doing errands for you, so the approval step is worth keeping on.
If you have also connected Gmail or Outlook, the Bot asks which account to send from when either one would work.
Grok email limits
- Up to 50 recipients per email across To, Cc and Bcc.
- Up to 10 attachments, 10MB each and 25MB in total, for both sent and received mail. Executable files can’t be sent.
- Newsletters and first-contact emails go to one recipient per message and carry a one-click unsubscribe link.
- There is a cap on how many new people the Bot can email, though SpaceXAI hasn’t published the number.
- If a message bounces, or someone unsubscribes or marks it as spam, the Bot stops emailing that address and tells you.
All your Bots share the one address in your own chats and routines. Bots can’t use it in Slack threads or in chats where someone else is talking to them, and a Team Bot doesn’t get a shared team address. If you delete your Grok Bot account, the mail and attachments are deleted and the address is retired.
Is it worth it?
If you already pay for SuperGrok or Cursor, yes. Claiming an address costs nothing extra, and keeping trial sign-ups, OTP-style verification mails and vendor back-and-forth out of your personal inbox is genuinely useful. I would start with low-stakes errands like a product trial or a quote request before trusting it with anything involving money.
I wouldn’t buy a subscription just for the address, though. You can’t check the mail without asking the Bot, there are no alerts, and the address can never be changed. Grok Bot is the reason to pay; email is one more thing it can do.
