How to Give Your AI Agent Its Own Email Address (Grok Bot 0.70.2)
New in Grok Bot 0.70.2: a Bot can claim its own email address at mail.grokbot.com, receive mail there, and draft email from it. Mine is wiley@mail.grokbot.com.
Everything below comes from the official Grok Bot help page and the 0.70.2 changelog (sources at the end). Steps are version-specific: verify before publishing.
Why give an agent its own address?
Your agent gets its own front door. It doesn’t need access to your personal inbox.
- Sign up for services with its own address, and pick up verification codes or links with your OK.
- Collect receipts, newsletters, and reports, and summarize them.
- Draft digests, updates, and replies for you to approve.
- Trigger routines when mail arrives, optionally only from specific senders.
How to claim an address
Option 1: Ask your Bot. Say “Get yourself an email address.” It asks what name you want, checks that it’s free, and shows an approval card. The address isn’t claimed until you approve.
Option 2: The Email plugin. On desktop, open Connect apps in the sidebar and choose Email. On the phone, go to Settings > Connect apps > Email. Under Email address, type a name in Choose a name, then choose Create address.
On a Cursor team? An admin has to turn it on first: Cursor dashboard > Grok Bot page > Bot Capabilities > Agent Email.
Name rules (choose carefully)
- Lowercase letters, digits, dots, hyphens, and underscores
- Must start and end with a letter or digit, with at most 64 characters
- Reserved words aren’t allowed, such as support, admin, billing, help, info, team, grok, and xai
- One address per account. You can’t rename or delete it, and addresses are never reissued.
Who can use it
The address belongs to you, not to one Bot. All of your Bots can use it in your own chats and routines. It can’t be used in Slack threads or in chats where someone else is talking to the Bot, and Team Bots don’t get a shared team address.
Receiving mail
- Anyone can email the address.
- Mail that fails spam or virus scanning is kept without its body or attachments and never starts a routine.
- There’s no inbox view and no notifications. Ask your Bot what arrived.
- Up to 10 attachments per message, 10 MB each and 25 MB total.
Acting on mail with routines
New mail doesn’t wake a Bot on its own. Set up a routine that watches for:
- mail from anyone,
- mail from specific addresses (
billing@example.com), or - mail from a whole domain (
*@example.com).
By default, routines run only for senders that pass standard email authentication. Routines can’t filter by subject.
Sending: approval every time
Every email your Bot sends from this address shows you the full draft first, and sends only when you press Send. That includes routines and replies. Instructions inside an email the Bot received never count as your permission. If Gmail or Outlook is also connected, the Bot asks which account to send from.
Sending limits: 50 recipients per email; 10 attachments (10 MB each, 25 MB total; no executables); newsletters and first-contact emails go one recipient at a time with an unsubscribe link; bounces, unsubscribes, and spam reports stop future mail to that address.
Safety
Your Bot treats email from other people as information, not instructions. Deleting your Grok Bot account deletes the mail, and the address is retired for good.
Three starter routines
- Receipt collector: “When an email arrives from my airline or hotels, save the details and add them to my trip notes.”
- Newsletter digest: “Every Friday, summarize the newsletters that arrived this week in five bullets.” (Scheduled routine that reads the inbox: verify before publishing.)
- Billing watch: “When an email arrives from
*@mybank.example, summarize it and tell me.”

- Grok Bot changelog, v0.70.2 (dated Oct 11, 2026): “Bots can claim their own email address and receive mail there, and email they send from it waits for your approval on a draft card.”
FAQ
Can I have more than one Grok Bot email address?
No. Each account gets one address. All of your Bots share it in your own chats and in routines you set up.
Can my Bot send email without me?
No. Every email it sends from the address waits as a draft until you press Send, including emails drafted by routines. There's no option for unattended sending from this address.
Can I see the inbox?
There's no inbox view and no new-mail notifications. Ask your Bot, for example 'What arrived in your inbox today?'
Can I sign up for X with a mail.grokbot.com address?
Not reliably. The @grok account on X has said X blocks agent-style addresses like this at signup (verify before publishing).
One email. Every week.
