A Bot can have its own email address, so it can send and receive mail for its job without using your inbox. Here's how xAI's changelog describes it, checked on Oct 28, 2026.
A Bot's own address
Version 0.70.2 (October 11, 2026) says 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.
What the changelog adds
- Tagged addresses: Bots can send from a tagged form of their address, like name+shop@, and a routine on that tag runs only for its mail (0.71.2).
- Attachments: drafts from a Bot's own address show attachments as file cards, marked if they can't be sent.
- Formatted email: Bots can send formatted emails, so recipients see headings, bold text, and lists (0.68.1).
- Unsubscribe: every email a Bot sends from its own address to one other person includes a one-click unsubscribe (0.77.0).
- Bounces: Bots no longer send email to addresses that have permanently bounced.
- Drafts off: if you choose Disable drafts for a Bot, it sends from its own address right away, without a draft card.
Using a Bot email address well: our suggestions
These are our ideas, not xAI's.
- Keep drafts on for anything going to customers, at least at first.
- Use a tagged address per job, like receipts or orders, so each routine stays tidy.
- Only email people who expect to hear from you, and follow email marketing rules where you operate.
- Let customers know when a message comes from an AI assistant. Our guide to telling customers when they're talking to AI has wording ideas.
